Having some issues with selling to close a position using a lower 13 period donchian channel as the exit signal.

I created a personal condition using C < MINL13.1 as the formual and selecting "30 minute" for the "TimeFrame". Testing it on stock ticker FIVE I get "72.54 < 70.88" as the test result. 72.54 is the correct current closing price but I'm not sure why its says that 70.88 equals the 13 period lower donchian channel on the 30 minute chart.

Ok, scratch that. The numbers that I quoted are actually valid. The first 3 times I tried it I was getting a totally weird number of 60.88 for the lower donchian channel.

I am happy to read you were able to figure it out on your own.
