Missing a piece of the puzzle. (Referencing open of prior day)

[Bmann777]

Hello and thank you for reading my post. I'm currently building and proving out a strategy that is working exactly as desired but I'm lacking in one area. The basics of my strategy are as follow.

*Reference current day open.

*If price crosses below the current day open price, open a short position. Vice versa for longs.

What I'm wanting to add to this is I would like to reference not only the current day open price but also I want to compare that to the previous day's opening price. For example: If the current day's opening price is less than the prior day's open I want the strategy to only take shorts when crossing below the current day's opening price. Vice versa for longs. So my question is, how to I reference the prior day's opening price and compare it against the current day's opening price? I'm not by any means a coder so I'm trying to all of this within Builder and I've tried multiple ideas but have not been successful in my attempts. I did check out a few posts that were along the same vein and tried out those suggestions but I have had no success.

I appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you

Have you looked at the inbuilt indicator Prior day OHLC?

Hi Bmann777, thanks for posting. You can use the CurrentDayOHL/PriorDayOHLC indicators to calculate this so that your primary series does not need to be a daily series:

Thank you both for the input. Got it working. I never even noticed the Current day OHL. Thank you, thank you.
