Re: Lowest Low Question

[Ron Augustine <RonAug@xxxxxxxx>]

You could do something like this -- LoLow and HiHigh will always have the
Highest High and Lowest Low for the specified time period.  The Variables
are reset for each new day.         
The "Tm" and "Dt" references for Date and Time are necessary due to bugs in
the TS Date and Time functions.  You can adjust the basic logic depending on
what you're trying to do.

--------------------------------------------
Vars: Tm(0), Dt(0), LoLow(99999), HiHigh(0);

Tm=Time; Dt=Date;

If Dt <> Dt[1] then Begin
  LoLow=99999; HiHigh=0;
End;

If Tm > 1014 and Tm < 1216 then Begin
  If High > HiHigh then HiHigh = High;
  If Low < LoLow then LoLow = Low;
End;
