PriorDayOHLC() obtaining n days back

[stevenev]

Hi, confused about this function [nt7]

Can I use it to obtain say 2 or 3 days back H/L/O/C? e.g.

PriorDayOHLC().PriorOpen[int barsAgo] setting barsAgo to 1 or 2?

Note that I am in 5 minute chart. Going further than yesterday do I have to load daily data or can I use the above?

Also.. what is the function of barsAgo?

Hello,
PriorDayOHLC().PriorOpen[Int barsAgo] will get the value of the open price of the number of bars ago you enter for that interger.
For example/ PriorDayOHLC().PriorOpen[5] will get the Prior Open price of the bar that is 5 bars before the current bar. If you are wanting to do multiple days back you will need to enter in that many bars.
barsAgo functions as a value that you will enter in to calculate that many bars before the current bar.

Thanks a lot, Cody.

So I guess I totally misunderstood this function I thought it provided the OHLC of yesterday overall.

So if I need to get OHLC of all of yesterday (overall, not of any particular bar) I would need to load daily data series in addition to my intraday data series?

A related question:

Returns current session open value
CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[int barsAgo]
CurrentDayOHL(IDataSeries input).CurrentOpen[int barsAgo]

In above, then [int barsAgo] should not matter, since open of session is the same number always.

and...

Returns current session high value
CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[int barsAgo]
CurrentDayOHL(IDataSeries input).CurrentHigh[int barsAgo]

does [int barsAgo] mean high before barsAgo, not the highest high of current session?

Thanks!
