H[1] and L[1] are the previous bar's value of H and L.  Period.  If 
you're using daily bars, it's the previous day's values.

Again assuming you're using daily bars, TS doesn't execute your 
system until the bar has closed, at which point it knows the H and L 
for the current bar.  If you use an indicator with "update every 
tick" enabled, your indicator gets called with the partially-filled 
bar, and uses the H and L for the bar so far.  H and L *NEVER* refer 
to yesterday's values.

I suspect you're getting mixed up in your code.  If you want to post 
an example maybe we can resolve your problem.
