Finding the Highest High and Lowest Low Between Selected Bars

Summary

This utility finds the maximum high and minimum low within a user-selected range of chart bars. The user specifies a start bar and an end bar; the procedure identifies the candle with the highest high in that interval and returns that high. It performs the corresponding search for the lowest low.

The description presents a basic chart-analysis operation rather than a trading strategy. It gives no example values, implementation details, or evidence about trading performance. The results depend on how the bar range is defined and on the instrument and timeframe represented by the chart. The extrema can help describe a range or establish reference levels, but the text does not explain how to turn them into entries, exits, or risk limits.

Key ideas

• The procedure accepts a start bar and an end bar as the search interval.
• It identifies the candle with the greatest high within that interval and returns its high.
• It also finds the lowest low over the same interval.
• The description does not specify trading rules or offer performance evidence.
