Searhing for lowestsince function
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:13 pm
Hello
I have been programming in many trading related languages but getting stumped on this bit here... AFAIK, there are two primary functions to determine lowest value over certain number of bars which look like follows
lowest (length) /// price series is assumed as low
lowest(priceseries, length)
pivotlow(priceseries, leftbars, rightbars)
In all three functions above, <length> <leftbars> <rightbars> parameter expects to be provided constant integer
and start producing run time error if value returned from barssince() is provided
valueA = highest(high, 20) // point A
valueB = lowest (low , 20) // point B
//valueC = lowest(low , int(max(1, barssince(valueA == high) ) ) ) /// Does not work as expected
//valueD = lowest(low , int(max(1, barssince(abs(highestbars(high, 20)) == 0) ) ) ) /// Does not work as expected
