In the Tutorial it is writen that "maxv" is the function for maximun in Lite C. However it gives an error when compiling the following:

vars H1 = series(priceHigh(36));
vars H2 = series(priceHigh(35));
vars H3 = series(priceHigh(34));
vars H4 = series(priceHigh(33));
vars H5 = series(priceHigh(32));

vars A11 = maxv (H1[0],H2[0],H3[0],H4[0],H5[0]);

It gives and error saying that "maxv" is not defined. Can anyone tell me where the mistake is? The idea is to get the High from High 36 to High 32.

I think the function you are after is MaxVal, not maxv.

Also, if you want to define A11 using type vars, you need to include the series definition.

vars A11 = series(MaxVal(Data, TimePeriod));

However, I'm not sure if you can use this to achieve what you want (which as I understand it is the highest high from 36 bars ago to 32 bars ago??). For this, you might need to use a series of nested if...else if statements using the function 'max' which I believe can only support two arguments at a time (hence the need for nested if...else if's).

You can use series shift operator, '+'. http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/series.htm

vars H = series(priceHigh());
var h32to36 = MaxVal(H+32, 5);

That's some wicked lag.

Thank you to both you. The last solution as "var h32to36 = MaxVal(H+32, 5);" can save me a lot of time. However, when later on using it in some "if" condition it gives an error saying that it requires array or pointer type. Say for instante:

vars H = series(priceHigh());
var A11 = MaxVal(H+31, 6);
var A12 = MaxVal(H+25, 6);
var A13 = MaxVal(H+19, 6);
var A14 = MaxVal(H+13, 6);
var A15 = MaxVal(H+7, 6);


vars P = series(price(0));

if (A14[0] < A15[0] and P[0] < A14[0]) enter long();

When compiling it gives the message "subscript requires array or pointer type"

Is it because A11 should be vars type? How to go around it?

I think I got it. Thank you.

vars H = series(priceHigh());
vars A11 = series(MaxVal(H+31, 6));
vars A12 = series(MaxVal(H+25, 6));
vars A13 = series(MaxVal(H+19, 6));
vars A14 = series(MaxVal(H+13, 6));
vars A15 = series(MaxVal(H+7, 6));

When you only compare the recent data, you need no series. if (A14 < A15 ...) would be sufficient.

Trying to check if it really gives the HH of the number of bars desired:

function run()

{
BarPeriod = 1440;
vars H = series(priceHigh());
var h32to36 = MaxVal(H+32,5);
printf("Result = %.f", h32to36);

}

It gives Result = 1. How to do so also it gives decimals and check what it really does? I am trying to see how it works.

printf("\nResult = %.5f", h32to36);

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/

Thank you GP. I am trying it and it gives a quiet long series of numbers with decimals, but no one of them coincides with the MaxVal of h32 to h36 back from yesterday (included).

I'm not sure how to respond. Read this and check for gaps in your understanding?
