Find 5 greatest number in array

[mr-roma]

Hello, I'm trying to get 5 best profits from my last 1000 closed trades. I wrote code which almost gives me what I want.

   string BestProfit;
   for(int b =0; b < 1000; b++){ //Chek last 1000 trades
       double Barray[1000];
              Barray[b]      = RecentProfits(b+1); //This function gives me last 1000 trades
       int    BestProfitCount = ArrayMaximum(Barray); //This gives me highest Profit from 1000s
   for(int ib =0; ib < 5; ib++){ //Here I'm writing text 5 times to get last 5 highest profit
       BestProfit = "BestProfits_" + IntegerToString(ib);
       WriteText (del + BestProfit, DoubleToStr(Barray[BestProfitCount],2), "Arial", 11, White, 399, BestProfits_y[ib], "\n", 1, ANCHOR_LEFT_LOWER, FALSE);
   }
   }

I think I'm doing somethin wrong in Arrays. It only gives me 1 highest profit and prints 5 times. How can I fix it?

Fill the array, then look for the maximum.

Like I said, it gives me maximum. I need to get 5 maximum profit, not one

Don't answer if you can't/won't help. I'm already getting maximum number, I just want to get second maximum.

I don't even know why this forum exists. Did I requested full indicator for free? No! Just a little help ...

Thanks anyway

The link I posted shows 2 code snippets, both of them are solving your problem. Just spend a little time to think over it. The code you are showing above is broken, by the way.

You make an ArraySort, and you take the first 5...
