Condition Builder

[msc400]

hello,

Is it possible to use a look back period within condition builder? For example:

If the close today is higher than the high over the last 10 days then buy?

So far I have only been able to figure out how to compare today to the exact bar 10 days ago which does not take the bars in between into considration.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, but you must use the correct indicator for what you want to do. The high over a lookback period will need to use the MAX() indicator. Specifically, your condition should turn out to be:

Close[0] > MAX(High, 10)[1]

Your other option for an indicator would be the Donchian Channel. but that itself just uses MAX() and MIN() anyway.
