CurrentBar[1]?

[aventeren]

Howdy--

This is probably a softball question (at least I hope it is), but when you call "CurrentBar", the current bars int value is returned (i.e., first bar on chart is 0 and next is 1 and next is 2 etc).

If I wanted to call the previous bar number, is "CurrentBar[1]" the correct way to do that?

For instance, I am trying to record the previous bar into a list. Therefore, would my code be something like this:

listSignalBar.Add(CurrentBar[1]);

or something like this:

listSignalBar.Add(CurrentBar - 1);


Thanks,

Aventeren

Hello Aventeren,

If you want to get the previous bars values you would use something like "Close[1]", "Open[1]", etc... depending on what price data you are looking for. Here is a few other examples of this that you may view.

For the bar number itself you may just subtract 1 from the CurrentBar to get this.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cool, so in my context, I would use:

listSignalBar.Add(CurrentBar - 1);

Correct?

Hello Aventeren,

Yes, that is correct.
