[max] and [min] are your friends here.
just feed the output of the object back to its right input.
the only remaining problem is how to initialize the objects.
a fool-proof approach is the first element of the stream.

when you are using lists instead of streams, there are also specialised
objects (if you don't want to serialize the list into single atoms),
e.g. [minmax] in zexy, but i am sure there is an internal-only solution
in the list-abs by fbar.
