I have an indicator, but only want to use it at a new low for the day. For, example, take the bullish engulfing pattern, where a green bar engulfs a red bar: function Find_BullishEngulfing(sFont, nFontSize, cFontColor, cFontBgColor) { var nState = getBarState(); var Open = open(0); var Close = close(0); var Open1 = open(-1); var Close1 = close(-1); var nID = getCurrentBarCount(); if (nState == BARSTATE_ALLBARS) { if (sFont == null) sFont = "Arial Narrow"; if (nFontSize == null) nFontSize = 11; if (cFontColor == null) cFontColor = Color.green; if (cFontBgColor == null) cFontBgColor = Color.white; } if (Open1 > Close1 && Close > Open && Close >= Open1 && Close1 >= Open && (Close - Open) > (Open1 - Close1)) { drawTextRelative(0, BelowBar2, "BuEng", cFontColor, cFontBgColor, Text.PRESET | Text.CENTER, sFont, nFontSize, "T"+nID); drawShapeRelative(0, BelowBar1, Shape.UPARROW, null, cFontColor, Shape.PRESET, "S"+nID); } else { removeText("T"+nID); removeShape("S"+nID); } return; } This will show a bullish engulfing bar for anytime frame (1 min, 5 min, Daily, etc). However, I want to make the indicator show up at only the current low of day. I used a function: low(0, inv("D")). Problem was, this only worked if it ended up being the actual low of day. For example, if the bullish engulfing bar occurred at a new day low at 11:00 and there was another day low at 12:00 it would not show up back-testing. It only shows up if that bar at 11:00 ended up being the day low for the rest of the day. I'm not much of a coder, but I feel like if I can figure out how to do these indicators that depend on multiple time-frames I'll have all the back-testing skills I need for now.
Here's a link to the glossary/library: https://kb.esignal.com/display/2/in...t2WJi7&cid=4&cat=&catURL=&r=0.819239795207977 Maybe somebody understands how to use one of these functions to help. I know I can use the same time frame if I'm able to calculate lowest lows and highest highs up until the point of the indicator starting at 9:30 AM that morning...
