Array Maximum is not returning the correct value

New comment
 

Hello forum,

I am trying to get the Array Maximum value of an array. For this purpose, I copied the Bull Power Indicator. 

  ArrayResize(HighestBullValueData, 15);

   for(int i=0; i<15; i++)
     {
      HighestBullValueData[i] = ExtBullsBuffer[i];
      //    PrintFormat("HighestBullValueData = %d, %f ", i, HighestBullValueData[i]);

      HighestBullValue[i] = ArrayMaximum(HighestBullValueData, WHOLE_ARRAY, i);
      PrintFormat("HighestBullValue = %d, %f ", i, HighestBullValue[i]);

     }

 I get the value of the HighestBullValueData array, but when I use the array maximum function, it gives me a different number (which is way off the value of the range of values from the HighestBullValueData array ).

Thanks in advance for any explanation.

If you only need the Highest value from the HighestBullValueData bar 0-14 (15 bars), then you don't need to use iterations.

  1. Fill the array. Then, outside the loop, search the entire array for the one value 

    ArrayMaximum(HighestBullValueData, WHOLE_ARRAY, 0);

  2. Or eliminate the copying and just search the source array 
    ArrayMaximum(ExtBullsBuffer, 15, 0);

Thanks. Here is now the code. Didn't realize it's that simple.

for(int i=0; i<15; i++)
     {
      ArrayMaximum(ExtBullsBuffer, 15, 0);
      PrintFormat("ExtBullsBuffer = %f ", ExtBullsBuffer[i]);
     }

Got it. Thanks.

No, wrong. Read the specs.

int i=ArrayMaximum(ExtBullsBuffer, 15, 0);
PrintFormat("ExtBullsBuffer maximum = %f ", ExtBullsBuffer[i]);
No loop required.
