Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to get the all time high for a ticker from the start of the dataset to the current day of the backtest?
My current solution would involve running through each day to build the history manually, is there a better approach?
Thanks
Hi Matthew,
Assuming you're working in Python, you can use the methodology linked here:
You would need to use a high number to get as much of the data as possible. Then history["close"] can be accessed like a dataframe, meaning it can be sorted and the highest value can be extracted.
