Euh... sorry. I meant EMPTY, not zero. It seems like it does not return a numeric value.

Hi,

I tried this:

Instead of

LowestClose= LLV(C, Period)

I wrote

LowestClose= Ref (LLV(C, Period),-5);

but for some reason about one third of the time the value of CurMFI_To_MFIatLowestClose is zero and I can't draw any line. Do you get the same results?

Thanks,

Louis

A last question: Would it be possible to get a past peak that is not the exact LLV of today? Because today or yesterday might be the LLV of the last 20 days. I'd like to set somehow a buffer zone; e.g. I want to look for the LLV that is NOT in the last 5 days (it would exclude today, or yesterday and the days before). That may be very useful. How would one do that? I tried this:

LowestClose= LLV(C, Period) AND NOT Ref (C,-1) AND NOT Ref (C,-2) AND NOT Ref (C,-3) AND NOT Ref (C,-4);

but it is a failure...

Thanks again!

Thanks, it works well!

Ah, yes, the following line should be changed: RSIatLowestClose =
ValueWhen(C == LowestClose, RSI(15));

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,

Louis

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
