hey reteid.... not sure just what aspect of those functions your referring too...... ihighest and ilowest can mislead some systems.....

as you know, but others might not, ihighest and ilowest value is not immediately set in stone such as iclose..... so there is the lookback period of time where it's value is subject to change.... so it's itime is subject to change.....

if the system can make allowances for that, it's no issue....

zigzag is a good example.....h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

I never faced problems with those functions in my programs. Maybe it's not easy to us the right bar and range in some situations but if used correctly it works without errors.

Do you have an example how you use them?

I don't see a problem with this either. One way would be to calculate the H1 from the corresponding M5 candles. The easy way i to transform the bar on the view timeframe (M5) to the calculation timeframe (H1) and use the bars of the calculation timeframe.

I think you use the first approach because that's the only reason to use iHighest und iLowest. One silly question you know that this function results are noth the higest/lowest value they give you the index in the array where the barhas highest high or lowest low?

I don t know what was calculated...but not the right values...so I wrote my own one:-)
