Hello,
I'm trying to write an indicator that will find a peak (call it "A"). Once it does, it should look for another peak (call it "B") within a certain time period before A occurred.
So far:
increasing:= REF(C,-2) - REF(C,-3)
decreasing:= REF(C,-2) - REF(C,-1)
if( (increasing>0) AND (decreasing>0)
A:=REF(C,-2)
A:=0 {if the close 2 periods ago was greater than 3 periods ago, and also greater then the close 1 period ago, A is set to the close 2 periods ago}
After this how do I search for another peak within some time frame beforehand (call it N periods)?
my guess is:
increasing2:= REF(C, -2-N) - REF(C, -3-N)
decreasing2:= REF(C, -2-N) - REF(C, -1-N)
if( (increasing2>0) AND (decreasing2>0)
B:= REF(C,-2-N)
B:=0
Any help would be appreciated
Pat

have a look at the following functions
Peakbars(Nth , data array , % minimum Change)
Peak( Nth ,Data Array , % Minimum Change)
BarsSince(Data Array)

Interesting, thank you!
I just started working on custom indicators, so I'm not entirely familiar with all the functions I can call.

Using Alert() : Code:
lookback:=10;
pk:=Ref(C,-2)<Ref(C,-1) AND Ref(C,-1)>C;
{plot}
pk AND Ref(Alert(pk,lookback),-1);
or another way using BarsSince() : Code:
lookback:=10;
pk:=Ref(C,-2)<Ref(C,-1) AND Ref(C,-1)>C;
{plot}
pk AND Ref(BarsSince(pk),-1)<=lookback;
