I am trying to write a study that updates only when a new high or low of the current bar is made. But the study keeps updating on every tick, which uses a lot of CPU. What is the syntax for a study to update only on a new high or new low of the current bar?

Thanks in advance.

Try this...

vClose = close();
vHigh = high();
vLow = low();

// null check
if (vClose == null || vHigh == null || vLow == null) return;

if (vClose >= vHigh || vClose <= vLow) {
         // do something
}

I think that code needs to be corrected..

That code will do something when the high=close or low=close - not when a new high or low is formed.

Here is how I would do it..

// null check
if (vClose == null || vHigh == null || vLow == null) return;

if (close() > vLastHigh || close() < vlastLow ) {
         // do something - new high or low
}

vLastHigh = high();
vlastLow = low();

JayF....

Can you please email me privately. I have a request to make of you and part of it is to turn on my ability to send private messages on the BB. For some reason, I can't seem to do it - I think it is turned off.

I have something else I would also like to show you.

Hello Brad,

FYI, your PM mail box is full. I think you just need to delete some messages.
