Data Series from several bars ago

[jg123]

Hello

I need to figure out how to get the High and Low from a specific bar from several bars ago. We will call that my "Signal Candle".

A Signal Candle is created when certain criteria are met. Let's say, "Close above MAEnvelope, Bullish, & AroonUp = 100"

This then becomes the signal candle for the remainder of the trend and many trade management decisions are made based on the data from this candle, including the trailing stop.

Let's assume that TrailStopDistance = (SignalCandleHigh - SignalCandleLow) * 10%

I want to trail my stop at SMA(smaPeriod) - TrailStopDistance

Therefore the TrailStopDistance needs to be a fixed number in order to properly place the order below the SMA on every bar update.

Can you please share with me how to acquire the information to set the TrailStopDistance as a constant after it has been initially calculated?

Thank you very much

Hello jg123,

Thank you for your post.

What you can do is when your condition is true, set the High[0] and Low[0] to variables that you can then call later on in the script.

if(condition is true)
{
     signalHigh = High[0];
     signalLow = Low[0];
}
