Keith,

I think, what you need is the BARSSINCE function. eg. barssince (h>Ref(hhv(H,10),-1)).

HHV(H,10) will always return the most recent high. That is why is is necessary to use the Ref function.

SYNTAX      ref( DATA ARRAY, PERIODS )

FUNCTION      References a previous or subsequent element in a DATA ARRAY. A positive PERIOD references "n" periods in the future; a negative PERIOD references "n" periods ago.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] HHV bars ago

I'd like to learn how to use the HHV function   --- seems  one way to see how many bars from the previous high ( low )

the HHV bars ago seems to be the one to use but when you attach it to a chart, it shows  eg  HHV (H,10)  ( any number will do as a test )  -- not only the highest in 10 periods, but every subsequent higher bar after that too in sucession-- then in a downtrend, nil -- when of course, there's still a high

the function says it shows a result of "  number of  bars " -- I can't see that anywhere

 

what I need to do is -- once there's a higher high, stop & count till the next one -- then start the count again etc

 

sounds simple LOL  but expressing it is another thing

any advice appreciated to put me on the right track

 

Keith
