Not quite. HighD is a *function*, not a variable. So you pass it an
argument using parentheses: HighD(1). The HighD function uses that
argument to determine how many days ago it should refer to.
To get the value of a *variable* N bars ago, you use Var[N].

HighD(1) gives you the high of yesterday. Note, if you're using TS4,
you MUST call HighD(1) on EVERY BAR. HighD and LowD have a bug in
them that will return the wrong value if you don't. If you want to
refer to it inside an if statement, store the HighD value in a
variable, like this:
vars: HD(0), OneTick(MinMove points);
HD = HighD(1);
if foo = bar then buy at HD + OneTick stop;
