if you have other related questions after this, the best place to make sure you get an answer is in the navigator search of metaeditor, but here's the answer to your current question.

the funticons that allows you to find the high or low are the "iHigh" or "iLow". here's how to set them up.

//Global Variables

extern double LowShift = 30;

extern double HighShift = 30;

//variable begin

double 10H = High;

double 10L = Low[Lowest (NULL, 0, MODE_LOW, LowShift, 1)];

"NULL" and the "0", just mean current pair/timeframe, if you insist on making it the 30 minute timeframe, change "0" to 20

the "1" makes it start it's info at the first completed bar back, i ALWAYS have this as at least 1 because the current high changes too frequently, it messes up your data.

excuse me, i forgot to specify where in the navigator , when you open the window, normally there's an example at the bottom, that's what i usually look at, not the format on the top .

from the looks of things, you have your code set to look back "30" bars, try changing that to "10" ,

(second to last number)

i tried that also and i get the same output

maybe theres a different way to do this?
