Hello!!

 This is my first topic. I am new in this forum and just started to program some expert advisors :)

I am trying to get a code for getting the highest value of a moving averaage within a period of time,for example 10 bars, but I am not able to get it.

I have tried:

int P2t=iHighest(iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i),0,MODE_HIGH,10,1); 
int P2=High[P2t];

 

But it is not working and I don´t manage to solve it.

My idea is for example buying if: 

Close[0]<P2


I also tryied to find it the information in th forum, but I am quite new and get lost with the formulas...

 

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Levas:    int P2t=iHighest(iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i),0,MODE_HIGH,10,1);

  1. Don't paste code

    For large amounts of code, attach it.
  2. iMA returns a price. What is the first parameter of iHighest? Of course it won't work.
  3. You would have to read multiple bars of iMA and find the highest value.

Thanks a lot. I have updated the post. Much better now :)

I have also tried: 

double MA2H = 0;
double findMA2H()
     { 
for (int i=1; i<10; i++)
if (iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i)>MA2H)
 {
 MA2H = iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
return MA2H;
}
     };

And then the buying condition if:

Close[0]<MA2H

 

 But I don´t manage it..... :(

Please make it clear whether your code is part of the main code or a function as we don't know where your return takes you.

for (int i=1; i<10; i++)
if (iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i)>MA2H)
 {
 MA2H = iMA(NULL,0,2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
return MA2H;
}

 Your loop exits after the first pass.

MA2H=0, so the iMA for index 1 must be bigger and that causes the return.

The return should be after the loop.

If it is not part of a function, then you don't want to return at all.
