Value2 is initialized to zero by default so "low" is never less than value2.

You need to declare a variable and initialize it to a high number. Something like:


Vars: LLow(999999), HHigh(0);

if datacompression < 2 and date = lastcalcdate then begin

  HHigh = iff(high > HHigh, high, HHigh);    {high of the last trading} 
  LLow  = iff(low  < LLow,  low,  LLow);     {low of the last trading}

  plot1(value1); 
  plot2(value2); 

end;
