Getting Last Year High and Low

[ketoma21]

In EFS2 you can get last month High and Low by using this

vHigh = high(-1, inv("M"));
vLow = low(-1, inv("M"));

how can you get last Year High and Low?

Declare two global variables (ie outside of function main) called for example lastYrHi and lastYrLo and set them to null.
Then in main use the example shown below which will provide you with last year's high and low
Alex

if(year(0)!=year(-1)){
    lastYrHi = upperDonchian(12,inv("m"),-1);
    lastYrLo = lowerDonchian(12,inv("m"),-1);
}

Alexis Works Great thank you

how about if I want to get the high and low of two years ago 2004 do I do this

if(year(-1)!=year(-2)){
lastYrHi = upperDonchian(12,inv("m"),-2);
lastYrLo = lowerDonchian(12,inv("m"),-2);
}

You are most welcome
To retrieve the values of two years back you maintain the same if() statement which identifies a change in year and then adjust the bar index of the study to -2 as shown in the following example
Alex

if(year(0)!=year(-1)){
    lastYrHi = upperDonchian(12,inv("m"),-2);
    lastYrLo = lowerDonchian(12,inv("m"),-2);
}

Sorry that was my mistake. The bar index should be -13 and not -2 to plot the High/Low of 2 years ago
