Return Number of Bars Ago from Bar Range

[hbmiles2000]

Greetings,

I am looking for a way to retrieve the number of bars ago that a Low occurred that is between 5 and 10 bars ago. More specifically, I already have MIN(Low,5)[10], which works fine to return that value, but what I need is how many bars ago that low occurred.
I tried using LowestBar(5), but it doesn't appear to have an offset if I am looking for the low in a range that does not begin with the current bar (i.e. 5-10 bars ago).
Thank you for any help,

hbmiles2000,

I am happy to assist you.

You could keep a second dataseries that is delayed by 5 bars from the current dataseries, then check LowestBar(delayed_dataseries,5).

Something like :

if( CurrentBar >= 5)
{
delayed_dataseries.Set(main_dataseries[CurrentBar-5]);
}

Please let me know if I may assist further.

You know that you are looking for the next 5 bars, starting from 10 bars ago, so use a "for" loop, to compare the low to the target value, indexed from 10 to 15, with a "break" when the first correct bar is found.
