Bars Since Highest [BarsSinceHigh]

Return to Complete List of Functions

The Bars Since Highest function determines the number of bars since the highest value in a data series occured within a given period. Parameters ------------------ Data          The data to evaluate. This is typically a field in a data series or a calculated value. Period        The number of bars of data to analyze for the condition, including the current value.                   For example, a period of 3 includes the current value and the two previous values. Note: An end point to the Period parameter can be simulated using the Lag function to obtain a previous value of this function. See the notes for the Lag function for more information. Function Value ------------------------ This function determines the number of bars ago when the highest value in a data series within a given period most recently occured. If the data series does not have enough data to fill the period or it contains a null during the period, a null is returned.
