Actually the Nth in that function is for the Nth *event* (Expression or 
condition) in the past, where:

Nth = 1:  last event
Nth = 2:  second-last event
Nth = 3:  third-last event
etc...

Note that Nth event/condition/expression is not the same as Nth bars/days, 
as the event may not have been triggered on every bar.

Examples:

event:=Cross(C,Mov(C,21,S));
HighestSince(1,event,High);

Here the function is looking for the highest High since the *last* 
occurrence of the cross of Close over its SMA.


event:=Cross(C,Mov(C,21,S));
HighestSince(2,event,High);

Here the function is looking for the highest High since the *2nd-last* 
occurrence of the cross of Close over its SMA.
