[amibroker] Re: Calculating Pivot Points based on a different time frame

["wooziwog" <xcitemint@xxxxxxx>]

Here are a couple of ways to capture the price at a given time.
Try these out and see if they work for you.
Method 1 - Compress and expand the array
mktCl = TimeFrameCompress(IIf(160000,C,Null),inDaily,compressHigh);
mktCl= TimeFrameExpand(Ref(IIf(160000,Close,Null),-1),inDaily,expandFirst);

Method 2 - Find the previous close without compression/expanding
bc=BarCount-1;
bi = BarIndex();
ymCL = LastValue(ValueWhen(Cross(TimeNum(),160000),C));
xmCL = bc-LastValue(BarsSince(Cross(TimeNum(),160000)>0));
Plot(ymCL,"",29,4|2048);
Plot(bi==xmCL,"",47,2|4|65536|32768|4096);
Plot(LineArray(xmCL,ymCL,bc,1),"",55,1);

The second plot statement will show which bar is selected for the array.  Check to make sure (by changing the time) to insure you are getting data from the correct bar.
