Re: [amibroker] Easy question again, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Are you sure this is working? I mean: in the following: RSIatLowestClose = ValueWhen(LowestClose, RSI(15)); is RSIatLowestClose now the value of the RSI(15) at that moment or is it the value of the close? I'll try to work on this a bit again later. Hope it can be fixed. Thanks a lot; your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I added the two following plot to the formula:

Period = 20;
LowestClose= LLV(C, Period);

RSIatLowestClose = ValueWhen(LowestClose, RSI(15));

CurCloseToPastClose = C / LowestClose;
CurRSI_To_RSIatLowestClose = RSI(15) / RSIatLowestClose;

Plot(Curclosetopastclose, "\n" +Curclosetopastclose+ " - curclosetopastclose", colorBlue);
Plot(CurRSI_To_RSIatLowestClose, "\n" +CurRSI_To_RSIatLowestClose+ " - CurRSI_To_RSIatLowestClose", colorRed);

Unfortunately the red line is always 1. I must have done something wrong...

Thanks,

I guess it is possible to get the price, simply by writting
ValueWhen(LowestClose, Close); right?
Yes, correct. You can also even get any other value.

There is an additional optional parameter that allows to get the value of
the last n-th recent occurrence.
Example: ValueWhen(LowestClose, Close, 2);

Thanks a lot! That was what I was looking for.

ValueWhen(LowestClose, Close); right?

BTW, when and how do you use your CurCloseToPastClose... Seems really
interesting as a concept.

Hello,

You can do this with the following code:

Period = 20;
LowestClose= LLV(C, Period);
RSIatLowestClose = ValueWhen(LowestClose, RSI());

CurCloseToPastClose = C / LowestClose;
CurRSI_To_RSIatLowestClose = RSI() / RSIatLowestClose;

Hi,

Another easy question here. (I'm still juggling with the difficult things
and thanks again to the people who helped me; but why not add this little
twist while I'm here).

I'd like to use to know how to use valuewhen to make it possible to know
what was the price at a particular time.

I had a look in the manual to many files which unfortunately had zigzag
functions in them. This is not what I'm looking for.

What I'd like to do is to compare the price right now to the LLV C of the
last X periods and to get the value of RSI of that LLV C at that time to
compare it with the RSI right now.

Is this possible, without Zig function?

Thanks,

Louis
