Set H1=1st highest high Value, set H2= 2nd highest of high value, Set H3= 3rd highest of high Value like wise Set L1=Lowest low value, same way L2, L3. and if close above H3 than buy.

Thanks for your reply, LLV & HHV i had already figured out . Isn’t there a round about way to it? Or can you help me code for forming symetric triangle? using Maxof or Max or something or loop function to check all values High vector and return 2nd highest ?
