    Screener can be run while a bar is being built, so when I refer to CLOSE[0] it is the current price (the one that would be considered CLOSE at execution time) or is ALWAYS a reference to the previous BAR closed BEFORE the current one?

    Example:

    x = 0
IF close[0] > close[1] THEN
   x = 1
ENDIF
RETURN x

    is either:

    a)  the previous closed BAR compared to the second previous closed BAR;

    or

    b)  the current (not yet closed) BAR compared to the previous closed BAR?

    Thank you.

    Hi Robert

    It’s b), but at any instant of a bar the price is Close(0) so if the instantaneous / current price > Close(1) (previous bar Close) then the Screener will pull as meeting criteria.

    Good question, glad you asked!

    Btw you need below (in place of return x) to make a Screener.

    Screener  [x]

    Cheers
