I am trying to replicate the ichimoku cloud indicators in my algorithm in order to find the most optimal position to enter and exit a trade. But I dont know how to create these:
- last 9 candles high
- current price lagging 26 candles
any recommendations or hints are greatly appreciated!

Hi Philip,
We have a built-in Ichimoku indicator here. If you click on the orange text it will pop open a description of the fields.
Furthermore, to get the max of the past 9 high values, we can use the MAX indicator and specify the field we want to use in the 4th argument, which is Field.High in this case. We can do the same with the Delay indicator with Field.Close, which we will need to register. I've shown this in the attached backtest.
Best,
Shile Wen
