[amibroker] Re: Want to compare current bar's value to past values of a different array

["corvidsystems" <corvidsys@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your description is very ambiguous (at least to me) but nevertheless if the "peak" as you describe it had a higher-than/less-than relationship with the "close" then at some point they must have crossed over or under. If it proceeds to "ascend" or "descend" from that point on, then you are looking for the HHV or LLV ending with the point of crossover/under (using the triggers in my last response):

Peak = LLV(myArray, BarsSince (BuyTrigger));

I am just looking for the last time a value (I used moving average as an example, but the actual array I am using is really a type of peak, so it doesn't change continuously). I am actually looking for the last value of this peak when it was less than the current bar's close (not when the close of a bar crossed the peak).

That is, I am looking for the last value of MA(C,30) that is less than the value of C at a given bar. In essence, I want to hold the value of Close constant for each bar and compare it to the array MA(C,30). Using the following:
