Hello,

I am pretty new to JForex, however I am an experienced Java Programmer, so there is actually no syntactical problem with the API. What really troubles me are the results I get from the minMAx Indicator.

This is what I wrote:

Instrument instrument = Instrument.EURUSD;
double[] minmax = null;
IIndicators indicators = context.getIndicators();
minmax = indicators.minMax(instrument, Period.ONE_HOUR, OfferSide.ASK, AppliedPrice.HIGH, 55, 1);
console.getOut().println("Min: " + minmax[0] + " Max: " + minmax[1]);

As I see it, I should get the highest value of the last 55hrs as minmax[1]. But when I check the charts, it is the highest value of the last eight hours with obvious higher values around 10 hrs before. What is the catch here? I tried to figure it out by myself, but I am lost. Maybe you folks can help me, I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much in advance

Chances are that the chart uses a different Filter than the one you use from the API, see:

Well,
I started using another method of the indicators class - namely:

long prevBarTime = history.getBar(instrument, Period.THIRTY_MINS, OfferSide.ASK, 1).getTime();
double[][] maxArray = indicators.minMax(instrument, Period.ONE_HOUR, OfferSide.ASK, AppliedPrice.HIGH, 55, Filter.WEEKENDS, prevBarTime, prevBarTime);

I guess, because I tested it on a monday, the weekend was also considered by the minmax algorithm, which didn't show on the chart. So I am using the above method in which I started to use the Filter.WEEKENDS field as well. The method itself is a little tricke because of the bartimes you have to take in consideration as well - and it gives you for no obvious reason a two-dimensional array in return. But who cares, it seems to work.

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciated it.
