Silly newbie question

[snaphook]

I am trying to understand how NT plots on candle[0] when something happened [n] candles ago. This line works fine:

Plot0.Set(Close[0]>=Open[0] ? 1 : 0);

and plots a bar of length 1 whenever a green candle occurs.

This line, which I thought should plot a bar of length 1 whenever the preceding candle was green, plots nothing.

Plot0.Set(Close[1]>=Open[1] ? 1 : 0);

Can someone point me in the right direction for help?

Thanks,
Snap

Here is another silly question from a newbie like me

I need to set the chart to daily and extract yesterday open, high ,low and close, How do I do it ?

I looking at all those command like high (0), low (0)..... what does the '(0)' mean? what happen if i change to 1 or 2?

By the way is there any guide that i can download and read to understand?

Please help me, thank you very much?

On a daily chart doing Close[0] will give you the current day's close. Doing Close[1] will give you the previous day's close. Close[2] is two days ago's close. etc etc.

Hi...the wizard does not have any thing to say ' set chart to daily' so am i right to assume that when I execute the strategy at the begining where the data series column and i choose 'day' mean the chart will be on daily?

The 'value' is automatic set to 1... is it mean it start from yesterday? ( i try to put it zero but keep going back to 1)

The chart time frame is determined when you run the strategy. The value of 1 means the bars will be on 1 day time frames.
