retrieve indicator values

[ionaz]

Hi Ninjatraders

I want to test if the RSI indicator is trending up or down during defined period in time. I know there are rising() and falling() methods available, but looks like they can only test on a day by day basis (check today vs tomorrow).
So I believe what I need is to be able to retrieve indicator values x and y days ago to compare them.

1. For example how do I retrieve RSI values 10 and 20 days ago?
2. Also, please advise in case there's a smarter way of checking the direction of the trend within a period defined by x and y bars ago on the idicator data.

Thanks a lot

Hello,
You can get the RSI values from X bars ago by using

RSI(14, 3)[20];
//in this example you would be using period of 14 and smooth value of 3 and getting the value from 20 bars ago

If you wanted to you could always calculate the angle of the line at a given point
