How to reference value later on in strategy

[behindthewheel]

Hello
I am wondering how to reference a certain value/ point on chart later on in a strategy/ ninjascript. Say a defined condition happens and you want to "bookmark" a certain value and reference it later. How would you do that? thanks

Hello behindthewheel,

Thanks for your post.

You could check CurrentBar to see the bar index when this occurred and assign the value to a variable. If you need to reference that bar later on in the script, you can use a BarsAgo reference like the following: Close[CurrentBar - YourVariable] (This will return the Close price for when you gave YourVariable a value.)

We look forward to being of further assistance.

I figure the simplest way to do this is assign the value to a variable. I don't see the need for the BarsAgo reference for the question as stated.
