Get Highest ATR Shift for a range of 100 Bars

Hi coders, I need your advice. To get the shift of the highest high value of a range of 100 bars is pretty simple by using the following formula :- int HH = iHighest(Symbol(),60,MODE_HIGH,100,1); However, if I want to get the shift of the highest value of ATR (period=20) for a range of 100 bars, how to get it ? Thanks

double atrs[100];
// fill atrs array here
int max_index = ArrayMaximum(atrs,WHOLE_ARRAY,0);

{quote} Save the 100 ATR values in an array. After that, you can use the function ArrayMaximum. double atrs[100]; // fill atrs array here int max_index = ArrayMaximum(atrs,WHOLE_ARRAY,0);

{quote} Thanks Losja, is there any other ways to get the shift other than using array ? Honestly, I don't understand array codes ... but anyway, I will test your array codes by next trading days.

int GetMaxIndex()
{
   double atr;
   int max_index = 1;
   double max = iATR(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,20,1);
   for(int i = 2;i <= 100;i++)
   {
      atr = iATR(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,20,i);
      if(atr > max)
      {
         max = atr;
         max_index = i;
      }   
   }
   
   return max_index;
}

{quote} There are many ways. "Array codes" are important. Maybe you understand this approach: int GetMaxIndex() { double atr; int max_index = 1; double max = iATR(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,20,1); for(int i = 2;i <= 100;i++) { atr = iATR(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,20,i); if(atr > max) { max = atr; max_index = i; } } return max_index; }

{quote} Thanks Losja, yes, I can understand these looping codes. However, I would want to understand the array codes too as you said "Array codes" are important. For array :- double atrs[100]; int max_index = ArrayMaximum(atrs,WHOLE_ARRAY,0); That's simple ? No need to specify iATR(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,20,i) to be part of the array codes ? Kindly guide me, thanks.
