NthHighest (Function)

$image\trumpet2.gif$ Disclaimer

The NthHighest function will return the highest, second highest, third highest (and so on) price over a specified number of bars.

Syntax

NthHighest(N, Price, Length)

Returns (Double)

A numeric value containing the ’N’th highest occurrence of Price over the last Length bars.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
N	Numeric	The occurrence to return. 1 =highest, 2 = 2nd highest, and so on.
Price	Numeric	Specifies which bar value (price, function, or formula) to compare for the highest occurrence.
Length	Numeric	The number of trailing bars to consider.

Remarks

Just like the Highest function, NthHighest has the inputs Price and Length. It also has the input N that allows you to specify if it is the second, third, and so on highest value desired.

The Length input in the NthHighest function can only be replaced with a value equal to or less than 100. The value for N should not be greater than the value for the input Length.

Example

Value1 = NthHighest(2, Close, 30);
