Highest High Entry

[yurips]

Lets say I wanted to enter when the high of the current bar is the highest high of the last 20 bars.
I hoped this would work:
if ( high() > hhv(20 high()) )
But since the current bar is part of HHV it can enver get triggered.
I tried:
if ( high() == hhv(20, high()) )
but that has me entering on doube-tops!

The syntax defintion for "hhv" doesn't seem to have an offset liek "-1" so I wouldn't be including the current price bar, thereby having a true breakout entry.

Could someone recommend the syntax for entering on a 20 bar breakout?

Try using the code enclosed below. Note that this is the same logic shown at the link I suggested in my previous reply in this thread.

var Highest = hhv(10,high())
if (vEMA4.getValue(MAStudy.MA) > vEMA9.getValue(MAStudy.MA) &&
    high(0) > Highest.getValue(-1))
        onAction1();
