Find the highest value of an indicator in a period X

New comment
 

Hi,

I'm trying to find a value for the RSI highest value in 20 bars.

I can't use "iHighest(NULL,0,RSI_Buffer[i],20,i), because it accepts only OPEN/LOW/HIGH/CLOSE/VOLUME/TIME. How can I find it?

Thanks

 
iHigh is for prices only. Use iRSI for rsi value.

Yeah, but I'm trying to get the RSI highest value. I don't understand how to do this, since the parameters does not show any tip to do a reference to highest value in a period.

Do I need to change something on 'Shift" parameter? Like this : iRSI(NULL,0,periodoRSI,PRICE_CLOSE,(iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,periodo,i))?


Thanks hasayama

 

You need rsi on highest bar or highest rsi?

Just loop through all values and search max value.

double max_rsi = 0;
double tmp = 0;

//--to find max rsi between current bar and NUMBER_OF_BARS bar

for ( int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_BARS; i ++ )
{
   tmp = iRSI( Symbol(), Period(), perRSI, PRICE_CLOSE, i );
   if ( tmp > max_rsi ) { max_rsi = tmp; }
}
 

be creative:

option 1: create a array filld with the RSI values and use iHighestOfArray

option 2: write your own function here is pseudo code:

function findHighestRSI 
currhigh = 0
for i=0 i<20 i++
if RSI(i)>currhigh then currhigh = RSI(i)
return currhigh

I need the highest RSI value. I understood what you wrote, but when I implemented this, the value was always the same, didn't change never. I tried a loop inside a loop, but It returned no value, I'm probably doing some mistakes.

zzuegg, thanks for the help. I'm beginner, but I'll study how to do that you wrote. I think the first one is easier, but I still not knowing how to implement this in my formula. If possible, give me an example.


Thanks again.

I'm trying to do a RSI divergence indicator. I stopped in this part (search for the highest RSI value of 20 periods)

Here it is the code:

Well I haven't tested my code, just gave you an idea. It will return just one value - max rsi which was reached from 0 (current bar) to some spesified bar, as your "limit".

Run it in loop for 10 values (from 0 to 9th bar) and check the result inside Data Window.

  
for(int i = limit-1; i>=0; i--) // Count down for one pass 
     RSI_Buffer[i]=iRSI(NULL,0,periodoRSI,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
     a1_Buffer[i] = ArrayMaximum(RSI_Buffer, 20, i);
