Help with lowest bar

[richp6]

Hi, I'm trying to create an entry where the current price is 4 ticks above the high of the lowest bar looking back at the last 3 bars.

I'm using this logic:
GetCurrentBid() + -4 * TickSize >= LowestBar(High, 3)

However, when backtesting I consistently enter when this is not true (see attachment). Can someone help me with my logic?

Thanks,

Rich

Hello richp6,

LowestBar returns the number of bars ago the lowest price value occured for the lookback period.

You may be looking for MIN() instead. It returns the lowest value over the specified lookback period.

You're right that is definitely not what I wanted. Is there anyway using the ninja code wizard to capture the high price of the lowest bar in the lookback period, or do I need to do custom code?

Hi Richp6,

You would need to custom code for this. The two statements below should work for this.

int barsAgo = LowestBar(Low, 3);
double myHighValue = High[barsAgo];
