Robert Payne HighestHigh

[ILIKESTOCKS]

Here is the original code:

input StartDate = 20191003;
def hh = if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then high else if high > hh[1] then high else hh[1];
plot higherHigh = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else hh;
higherHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

I would like the code to do the reverse operation. LowestALL. Ive tried just reversing some of the commands and it kind of works but Im missing something.

The lowerlow defs were likely not initalized.

In most instances the high can work without initalization as the higher highs will display on your chart with the candles..

However, the lows without an initial value will use zero as a starting plot. Likely that is going to be the lower low overall rather than what you want. The zero line usually will not be visible on your chart with the candles unless you zoom in the chart so that you could see the problem.

input StartDate = 20191003;

def hh = if BarNumber() == 1 then high else if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then high else if high > hh[1] then high else hh[1];
plot higherHigh = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else hh;
higherHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

def ll = if BarNumber() == 1 then low else if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then low else if low < ll[1] then low else ll[1];
plot lowerlow = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else ll;
lowerlow.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

Ok that makes sense. Thank you! Code works great. This is what I did below, I got a line to show up but not sure how it was calculating it to plot it. It didn't make since to my untrained eye.

input StartDate = 20191003;
def ll = if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then low else if low > ll[1] then low
else ll[1];
plot lowerlow = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else ll;
lowerlow.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

I suggest one minor adjustment to your code: low < ll[1] instead of low > ll[1]

input StartDate = 20191003;
def ll = if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then low else if low < ll[1] then low
else ll[1];
plot lowerlow = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else ll;
lowerlow.SetPaintingStrategy(12);
