[amibroker] Re: Basic line plot referencing earlier Bar - not working

Okay. I managed to finally solve the problem, for anyone that's interested. It's always something ultra simple. I had my xo and x1 values interchanged. This works:


Plot(C, "Close", colorBlack, styleThick|styleDots);
Plot(H, "High",  colorBlue,  styleLine);
Plot(L, "Low",   colorRed,   styleLine);


// Any time that the current Close is lower than the *Low* of 5 bars ago, then plot a  
// red dashed line between those two prices.

fb       =
Max(Status("firstVisibleBar"), 5);
lb       =
Status("lastVisibleBar");

Low5    =
Ref(L, -5);
LineLow  =
Null;
  
for ( i = fb; i < lb; i++ )
{
  
if( C[i] < Low5[i]  )  //
  {
   LLow    =
LineArray(i-5, Low5[i], i, C[i]  );  
   LineLow    =
IIf(!IsNull(LLow), LLow, LineLow);
  }  
}  

Plot(LineLow, "LineLow", colorViolet, styleDashed);
