Contents

Finds the highest value of the series, then return the bars back.

The return value is the number of bars back from the starting index. If no starting index is used, then it is the bars back from the current bar. If a starting index offset is used, then the return value is the bars back from that offset.

This example shows the use of the common auto indexed series. For information on using functions with non auto indexed series review Series Functions.

HighestBar( series, bars, [offset] )

Parameter:	Description:
series	The name of the series.
