Use either the findpeaks or islocalmax funcitons. The islocalmax function returns a logical vector, so to get the numerical indices from it, use the find function.

i try this function i need only the top and buttom peaks all the peaks in the middle dont need to consedire
I do not have your data, so I cannot write code that applies specifically to it.
Both functions have appropraite name-value pair arguments to select only the highest (or lowest) peak in a particular region. For findpeaks it is 'MinPeakDistance', and for islocalmax and islocalmin it is 'MinSeparation'.
To get the negative peaks with findpeaks, negate the first argument, then negate again to get the actual values —
[pks,plocs] = findpeaks(y, ''MinPeakDistance',100) % Peaks
[vys,vlocs] = findpeaks(-y, ''MinPeakDistance',100) % Peaks
PeakVals = pks;
ValyVals = -vlys;
Use the correct values for 'MinPeakDistance'. The location index vectors retain their validity regardless.
