How do I calculate a True False for Stocks that have pulled back to make at least a 5 day low?

Thanks,

Amir

L=MINL5

Will be true for stocks whose low today is the lowest in the last five days.

I am not sure what you mean by "low in the previous 5 days".

The formula you give will return TRUE if the low yesterday (L1) is equal to the lowest low for the last six trading days (MINL6).

The wording that I am trying to interpret is as follows: "Stocks that have pulled back to make at least a five day low."

I think your formula is correct, but I want it up to yesterday, not including today.

Thanks,

Amir

Then use:

L1=MINL5.1

Put it in your system. Look at the charts and let me know if it is what you wanted.
