Hi, 

I found a thread which provided a %True indicator of 10 day low that I want to use. 

C < C9 AND C < C8 AND C < C7 AND C < C6 AND C < C5 AND C < C4 AND C < C3 AND C < C2 AND C < C1

How would I use realcode to program that indicator? 

Thank you

Please try the following RealCode Condition.

If Price.Close < Price.MinClose(9, 1) Then Pass

Thank you so much Burce, that worked perfectly. 

Hi bruce, 

I applied the condition.   is the Price.MinClose(9,1) looking forward or back? I'd like to create the condition that looking forward 10 days, it is the low of closing prices. 

Thank you.

Price.MinClose(9, 1) is the lowest close of the nine bars ending one bar ago. I would describe it as looking back, but comparing it to the current close as is done in my original response matches the Condition Formula given in your original post.

That said, I'm not quite sure what you are asking when you ask if it is looking forward or back.

It is not generally recommend that you look into the future when creating indicators or conditions. If you use such a thing for backtesting, the backtest ends up being psychic in that it knows what is going to happen before it happens.

Hi bruce, 

I'd like to find the 10 day low looking forward, as in if the closing price of a  bar is still the the lowest 10 bars from now. I'm mainly using it just as a support point indicator for me to see on the graph, not to backtest. And also use the 10 day high as a pressure point. Is there a way to find the 10 day low looking forward in that sense? 

Thank you very much. 

I don't know if it "makes sense", but:

If Price.Close < Price.MinClose(9, -9) Then Pass

Something similar for the highest close would be:

If Price.Close > Price.MaxClose(9, -9) Then Pass

great, thanks Bruce. 

You're welcome.
