Hi, I hope this sample will help.

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ArraySample : Indicator
    {
        private double[] array;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            array = new double[4];

            array[0] = 23.6;
            array[1] = 38.2;
            array[2] = 50;
            array[3] = 61.8;

            foreach (var a in array)
                Print(a);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {

        }
    }
}

You need to write the method finding highs and lows first, then you just compare them. However you don't need an array for it, it's better to use IndicatorDataSeries instead. I recommend to look at indicators that are published by others. Or hire someone to code the indicator you want. I'm also freelancer so feel free to contact me via email if you want my service.

RE:

Thank you tmc

indicatorDaraSeries could you give simple example of it for compression between values

Thanks

how to compare and create indicator data series for a customized indicator?

Dear Trader,

You can compare the values of the IndicatorDataseries, but not the IndicatorDataseries with each other.

Please have a look at the following code snippet:

        public ExponentialMovingAverage ema;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            ema = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Source, Periods);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            Result[index] = 1;

            if (Result[index] < ema.Result[index])
                Print("Successful");

        }
