Thanks Mike, I think that will work perfectly. I guess the best way to solve the forward looking problem would be to change it to Phigh = ( Ref (H, -2) > Ref (H, -3) AND Ref (H, -2) > Ref (H, -1) ); which would insure the high was established, or is there a better way? Thanks for your help, James

Note that your Phigh calculation is looking into the future. So, you'll need to adjust for that before taking the buy. Also, I don't have AmiBroker in front of me right now, so you'll have to validate whether the above is correct or not.

In this case, say I want to buy when price crosses above the last pivot high or below the last pivot low. I define pivot high as: > Phigh = ( H > Ref (H, 1) AND H > Ref (H, -1) ); > I want to buy if price crosses the last occurence of this and not an occurence 20 bars ago that could be at a lower price. So Phigh is only the last Phigh.
