PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1]

[fiddy]

Am I able to use the following to find to high of the day before the last day ?
PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1]

currently it is returning 0 for some reason

Hello Fiddy,

Thank you for your post.

The bar index [ ], will refer to the number of bars ago value for that indicator.

Since, you are requesting 1 bar ago, on intraday time, the 0 and 1 will return the same value.

The only time that this isn't true, is when it is the first bar of session.

You can filter this out with -

if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession)
{
     Print("Bar 0: " + PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0]);
     Print("Bar 1: " + PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1]);
}

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

How would you suggest a better way / correct way to write the following

PriorDayOHLC().PriorLow[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1]

What I want is the low from yesterday to be greater than the high of the day before yesterday.
However I want to run this on an intraday chart

Fiddy,

What you would want to do is check for the price change between the [0] and [1], and then store the value you want to use later.

if(PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0] != PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1])
{
newDay = PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[1];
}

if(PriorDayOHLC().PriotLow[0] > high)
{
// Take action here
}
