Description
The Highest indicator returns the maximum of the input time series over the lookback period of time defined by the current value of the Lookback period time series. Thus, the lookback period is a variable, not a constant (as in the case of the Maximum indicator found in the Basic indicator category), and may dynamically adjust across the chart.
The Highest indicator along with the Lowest indicator can be employed to create channel breakout trading systems such as the one demonstrated by Example 4 - Swiss Franc Futures Channel Breakout system.
