I am trying to have a column in my explorations show how many new 52 week highs there are and am verifying with an indicator. My code so far is: TheHigh:=Ref(HHV(H,255),-1); TheCheck:=TheHigh>Ref(TheHigh,-1); Sum(TheCheck,255) I am comparing it to a plot of Ref(HHV(H,255),-1). The sumation starts at 0, which is probably what it is supposed to do. The first increase in the sumation occurs when nothing changes on the 52 week high plot. After the first new high all later new highs increase the sumation. Am I missing something or is there a better way to get a count of new 52 week highs? Thanks vm

hi i have tried both 52 week highs and lows in explorations but thy don't find even a single security. i am new to all this and don't know much about formula making so please guide me if i am doing anything wrongs. here is what i write in filter filter { Today's data date, user input section } day:= 9; { today (1~31) } mth:= 11; { current month (1~12) } yr:= 2005; { current year, eg 2003 } { *********************************** } active:=Year()>yr-1 OR (Year()=yr-1 AND (Month()>mth OR Month()=mth AND DayOfMonth()>=day)); start:=active AND Alert(active=0,2); DayOfMonth()=day AND Month()=mth AND Year()=yr AND Highest(start) AND C<Ref(LowestSince(1,start,C),-1) AND V>0
