LRO/MRO in multi-time frame

[balancenv]

These two are very useful, particularly in pattern type of analysis. However not being supported in multi-time frame basically render them useless...

Will it be too much to ask to have them supported in multi-timeframe??

A typical usage case will be,

I need to find out, in the past, the 2nd crossabove of a certain value and the value is not fixed (if it's fixed then I can just do a counter on each onbarupdate).

Unfortunately corssabove/below does not return 'index/offset' to point out where the condition occurs.

A related question is, is it possible to get the 'position' (forward or backward, i.e., normal array type of index, or barsago type) of where the MIN() occurs?

For example, MIN(Low, 100)[0] returns the MIN of Low for the past 100 bars, but how do I know which bar is it?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts balancenv, this is on our feedback list for future consideration in product management (#1061), I've just added your vote in as well.

For your second item, you can look into using LowestBar -

LowestBar does not work since it does not return array.
Pattern matching type of operations require going backward maybe not for the 1st occurrence but the 2nd, 3rd, or even more.

Since LowestBar only returns the lowestbar from the currentbar, I can't find the 2nd lowest going backward easily...
