Strategy help

[snotrag12]

I would like to code for a strategy as follows: close of the present bar is less than the close of the previous 8 bars. Thanks for the help

Hello snotrag12,

You may do this my manually checking the Close of the current bar with each bar manually, or you may use the MIN() method to be able to find the lowest value over a given period to be able to do this as well.

Here is a link to our Help Guide that goes over the MIN method that you may view.

Hi I tried to incorporate max into line 71 of my strategy, but I have some compilation errors.
I am trying to code if the high of stochastic K over the past 10 bars is greater than 80. Appreciate the help

Hello snotrag12,

Thanks for the screenshot.

This is because the second part of your statement on Condition 4 is invalid. You are reference the Stochastics K value and then placing a comma. If you would like to find the high value of the Stochastic you would replace the "High" with the Stochastic K.

Example:

if(Stochastics(7,14,3).K [0] < 75
				&& MAX(Stochastics(7,14,3).K,10)[0] > 80)
