Tweezer Bottoms (and tops)

[misterplumber]

I was wondering if someone could help me with a tweezer top and bottom efs.

I started writing one for bottoms but it doesn't seem to be working. I wanted the bottom to work before I created the top. I basicaly wanted to print "tweezer bottom" when the low of the previous bar (-1) was = to the low 2 bars ago (-2). I wanted the current bar to complete thats why it starts -1. When I run this it prints the text on almost every candle.

function preMain() {
/**

* Place any study or EFS configuration commands here.
*/
//{{EFSWizard_PreMain
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Tweezers");
//}}EFSWizard_PreMain

}

function main() {
/**

low() == low(0, -1)

function postMain() {

Re: Tweezer Bottoms (and tops)

The reason you are getting the text on every bar is because your condition is set to check if the low of the current bar is equal to the low of the current bar which is always true
You need to change the condition and the related command as shown in the image enclosed below
