# High

Returns the highest price for a specific bar.

## Syntax

```typescript
High(shift: number): number
```

## Parameters

* `shift`: A number representing the shift from the current bar

## Return Value

Returns a `number` representing the highest price reached during the specified bar.

## Description

The `High` method returns the highest price reached during a bar at the specified shift from the current bar. The shift parameter determines which bar's high price to return:

* 0: Current bar
* 1: Previous bar
* 2: Two bars ago
* And so on

## Example

```typescript
// Get current bar's high price
const currentHigh = this.api.High(0);

// Get previous bar's high price
const previousHigh = this.api.High(1);

// Find highest price over last 3 bars
let highestPrice = this.api.High(0);
for (let i = 1; i < 3; i++) {
  const high = this.api.High(i);
  if (high > highestPrice) {
    highestPrice = high;
  }
}
console.log(`Highest price in last 3 bars: ${highestPrice}`);

// Check if current bar made new high
if (this.api.High(0) > this.api.High(1)) {
  console.log("New high formed on current bar");
}
```
