Using IsRising on previous bars?

[timmbbo]

How might I use IsRising / IsFalling not from the current bar, but based upon previous bar. For example:

Print("The SMA is " + SMA(20)[3]; // Prints the 20 SMA value based upon the third most recent bar
Print("IsRising is " + IsRising(20)); // Prints the 20 SMA IsRising on the current bar

Print("IsRising from 3rd most recent bar " + IsRising(SMA(20)[3])); // I get an overloaded error here


How can I do IsRising ./ IsFalling not based upon the current bar, but previous bars? Thanks,

Hello, thanks for writing in. IsRising/IsFalling can only be used for the immediate values of the series. You would need to write your own code that could evaluate something like:

if(SMA(20)[5] > SMA(20)[6])
Print("SMA was rising 5 bars ago");
