Hi, I'm not sure how to do this using an indicator. I've tried the following which doesn't work on multiple levels. I couldn't find a simple example where an algo gets the High of a couple of bars ago.

var spy_ind = Identity(spy, Resolution.Hour);
high_2 = new Delay(2).Of(Identity(spy));
RegisterIndicator(spy, high_2, Resolution.Hour);

Alpha, are you looking for a C# or Python solution? Simple in Python using the 'History' method.
Hi Dan, C# please. While on that topic, how would you force an SMA indicator to run on the High prices? I believe below runs on .Value which defaults to Close.
ema_fast = EMA(spy, 30, Resolution.Hour);
I was looking at the DisplacedMovingAverageRibbon.cs example for this.
The longer answer is that I'm a python quant but the following has made me switch to C#. If you know solutions to this, I'm back to python!
1. Desktop IDE Doesn't offer code analysis for python
2. environment "backtesting-desktop" doesn't seem to be doing the graphical plot.
Thanks!
@Alpha - Field.High
- Desktop IDE code analysis is driven by your IDE, but people have been able to debug python algorithms in Visual Studio.
- Correct I think the desktop charting isn't great for custom plots but its open source so you can write your own ;)

Jared Broad I am having trouble getting the last 2 bars of data. I have minute data and I've consolidated it to 60 minute bars. In my 60 minute bar handler I do:
var bar = History<TradeBar>(btcusd, 2);
The full example is:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Accord.Statistics.Links;
using QuantConnect.Brokerages;
using QuantConnect.Data.Consolidators;
using QuantConnect.Data.Market;
using QuantConnect.Indicators;
using QuantConnect.Indicators.CandlestickPatterns;
namespace QuantConnect.Algorithm.CSharp
{
public class Test: QCAlgorithm
{
protected Symbol btcusd = QuantConnect.Symbol.Create("BTCUSD", SecurityType.Crypto, Market.GDAX);
protected decimal signal(TradeBar data)
{
var bar = History<TradeBar>(btcusd, 2);
if (!(bar.Count() > 0)) { return 0.0m; }
return 0.0m;
}
private void ConsolidatedBarHandler(object sender, TradeBar data)
{
Order(btcusd, signal(data);
}
public override void Initialize()
{
// set up our analysis span
SetStartDate(2014, 1, 1);
SetEndDate(2015, 5, 30);
AddCrypto(btcusd, Resolution.Minute);
var consolidator = new TradeBarConsolidator(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60));
consolidator.DataConsolidated += ConsolidatedBarHandler;
SubscriptionManager.AddConsolidator(btcusd, consolidator);
}
public void OnData(TradeBars data)
{
}
}
}
