VARIABLES: highestClose, highestHigh, lowestLow TYPE: Price

VARIABLES: averageClose, standDev TYPE: Price
 
' Find the highest close of the last 50 bars
highestClose = Highest( instrument.close, 50 )
 
' Find the lowest low of the last 100 bars
lowestLow = Lowest( instrument.low, 100 )
 
' Find the highest high since the entry of the first unit of the current position
IF instrument.position <> OUT THEN
  highestHigh = Highest( instrument.high, instrument.unitBarsSinceEntry )
ENDIF
 
' Find the 10 day average of the close starting 20 days ago
averageClose = Average( instrument.close, 10, 20 )
 
' Find the standard deviation of the close over the last 100 days
standDev = StandardDeviation( instrument.close, 100 )

Returns:
