Definition

The high of the most recently COMPLETED one-minute bar. The bar that opens at 9:30 is readable from 9:31, identically in backtests and live trading; the forming bar is never used. Not the day's high (use High of Day). Pre-market and after-hours bars count. Strategies using it run on one-minute data.

Parameters

Asset

Output range: > 0

Example condition

text
`Price(SPY) > Minute Bar High(SPY)` (price broke above the last completed minute's high)

Use in a strategy

Add this indicator to a strategy condition, choose its supported parameters and compare the output with the threshold required by your rule. Preserve the same interval and lookback when comparing backtests.

After saving the condition, inspect its asset, interval, lookback and comparison operator against the parameters above. If no trades occur, check whether the condition ever became true and whether the requested input data exists for that period. A missing input is not a zero-valued signal. An indicator produces an input to a rule. It does not establish future returns, and data availability can differ across assets and periods.
