Intraday bar number. Yesterday's Low while today is still forming.

[johnls101]

Does anyone know if there is a way to find intraday bar number if in a minutely time frame?

I am trying to reference the Low of the day just passed while still in the current day, in a minutely time frame

Hello johnls101,

Thanks for your post.

To obtain the prior days low value, you can use PriorDayOHLC().PriorLow[0] which will return the prior days low value until the current day completes. (PriorHigh, PriorOpen and PriorClose are also similarly available).

Thanks so much Paul. That is great.

Is there any good way to access the last bar of the previous day and the first bar of today (still forming) in the minutely time frame? So far I have used , for example,
Bla.Set(indicator[barsSinceSession+1]), for the last bar of the previous day
... but it looks messy and is probably fairly heavy on processing

Hello johnls101,

Thanks for your post.

You can use:

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession) // true only on first bar of the session
{
// do something on first bar like access Close[0]
// and can also access the previous bar which would have been the last bar of the previous session, Close[1]
}
