Retrieval of Close data for previous 3 days

[lcornell]

I need to retrieve the previous 3 days close data. I have no problem with previous tick data intra-day, but need the close of the previous 3 days. I have reviewed a number of the posts on this forum but so far am unable to retrieve the data that I need.

Are you trying to retrieve the daily Close from previous days?
If that is the case then the easiest and most basic method is to use the close() function and pass to it the corresponding bar index and interval using the inv() function eg
var yesterdayDailyClose = close(-1, inv("D"))
Alternatively assign the series to a variable and then use the getValue() method to retrieve the value from the series eg
var dailyClose = close(inv("D"))
var yesterdayDailyClose = dailyClose.getValue(-1)
For the syntax, description and more examples on the use of these functions see the links to the corresponding articles in the EFS KnowledgeBase

Alex,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Your code worked fine and I have that part of the script running.
