Your
objective probably isn't realistic unless you set a fixed time period for
your comparison. For instance, the all time lows in stocks like Microsoft,
Intel or even General Motors could very well be under a dollar when you adjust
for all the splits and distributions that have occurred during the lifetime
of the stocks. What you may really want to ask is what has the low been in
the last year or last five years, etc. But, to answer your
question:
lowest( L )
This
would give the lowest low occurring for a specific security from the
first bar of data loaded in MetaStock. In stocks like those
previously mentioned this number could be very misleading if you only have 4 or
5 years of data. For stocks in which you have the full price history, it
may have some meaning, but again is probably dubious, at
best.
