Bruce,

I would interpret the request as the value of the most recent previous low that is below the current close.

Maybe not.

Thanks,

bustermu,
As in "the most recent previous low" is a local extrema of some sort?

Bruce,

No. That is not what I meant. I meant the value of the most recent previous Lk that is below C.

A PCF is:

(-1)
*((L1<C)*L1-(L1>=C)
*((L2<C)*L2-(L2>=C)
*((L3<C)*L3-(L3>=C)
*((L4<C)*L4-(L4>=C)
*((L5<C)*L5-(L5>=C)
*((L6<C)*L6-(L6>=C)
*((L7<C)*L7-(L7>=C)
*((L8<C)*L8-(L8>=C)
*((L9<C)*L9-(L9>=C)
*((L10<C)*L10
))))))))))

or something longer.

I am only guessing at what was requested. It does seem that if "resistance" is a price value, then "support" is also.

Maybe not.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

bustermu,
That seems to be a reasonable interpretation.
