DoubleToStr(High[iHighest(NULL,PERIOD_H4,MODE_HIGH,5,2)], 5)
You are finding the highest of bars 2 to 6, not 2 to 5.
If you run this on the H1 chart and the highest bar on the H4 chart is n
You then find the high of the nth bar of the H1 chart
That is why it appears to work correctly on the H4 chart

- You didn't edit your original post's using SRC as Requested.
- I only posted one message and it had no code. It only quoted your line like the one below. Do you replaced your line with your line and got the same results. Why are you surprised?

Since your code has exactly the same problem as your original post, you didn't bother to follow the links I provided and learn why, and you didn't bother to read GunRai's post which said the same thing. You've wasted enough of people's time

Hi Guys please bare with me here for asking questions that seem basic. I know understand your meaning GumRai. My next question is , is it then possible to do what I am trying to do, which is to fetching the exact value of the highest high from a higher time frame. ( My apologies for the waste of time)
Of course it is possible.
You just need to learn the difference between
High[] and iHigh()
You already know how to use iHighest, so it should be simple for you to use iHigh

Hi , it seems as if when using the iHighest syntex fetching a value from a higher time frame does not work correctly. The value that is fetched does not exist on the specified time frame's candle highs. When checking this by printing functions to chart the are discrepancies on the smaller time frames i.e. 15min,30min,1hr. The values are fetched from 4Hr in this example. however when using syntex (iHighest) on the 4Hr chart , fetching values from the same chart , it work fine. Please check for me on yourside and let me if fetching iHighest from a higher time frame works fine.
