Test for Rising value over x bars ago

[ctrlbrk]

Can someone help me with the code on how to test if a value has risen on any of 'x' bars ago?

the internal Rising() feature only works on 1 bar ago. I need the same test, but with further back like 50 bars...

I know it's something like this, but not quite...

while x < 50 // 50 bars ago
do
{
if Value[x] > Value[x-1] rising = true;
x++;
}

TIA
Mike

try using the slope function if it is positive it's rising and negative if it is falling.

Should be "x + 1" not "x - 1"

Thanks, I will try the slope method.

I need it to be usable in a long laundry list of if statements, so the while loop doesn't work as nested inside an if statement, would have to re-do my strategy logic.

I don't know much about slope, but will go learn about it.
