  Hello Everyone,

  I am able to return the lowest low of the previous 10 bars with the code “lowest[10](low)”. What I would like to do is count the number of bars since that low. Anybody an idea?

  I did not test it, but it should do:

  LowestPrice = lowest[10](low) //save the lowest price returned LowBar = 0 for i = 1 to 10 //scan the previous 10 bars if low[i] = LowestPrice then LowBar = i //when the match is found save te number of the bar endif next //from now on you know LowBar IS the bar within the 10 previous ones with the lowst price // (unless more than one shares the same lowest price!!!) PriceRange = range[LowBar] //you can, just as an example, access the RANGE of the bar with the lowest low....

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  LowestPrice = lowest[10](low)     //save the lowest price returned LowBar      = 0 for i = 1 to 10                   //scan the previous 10 bars if low[i] = LowestPrice then LowBar = i                        //when the match is found save te number of the bar endif next //from now on you know LowBar IS the bar within the 10 previous ones with the lowst price //            (unless more than one shares the same lowest price!!!)   PriceRange = range[LowBar]       //you can, just as an example, access the RANGE of the bar with the lowest low....

  Let me know if you are having problems with that piece of code.
