EFS looking for low greater than last low won't work

[cosbyva]

When writing a formula for a function to change the color of the watchlist for this simple function : low(inv("D")) > low(inv("D")-1) it will not work. I have written other efs that work on their own, but when adding this variable the efs will not work. Here is a simple example:

//{{EFSWizard_Description
//
// This formula was generated by the Alert Wizard
//
//}}EFSWizard_Description


//{{EFSWizard_Declarations
var vLastAlert = -1;
//}}EFSWizard_Declarations


function preMain() {
/**
* This function is called only once, before any of the bars are loaded.
* Place any study or EFS configuration commands here.
*/
//{{EFSWizard_PreMain
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("L>L");
//}}EFSWizard_PreMain

}

function main() {
/**
* The main() function is called once per bar on all previous bars, once per
* each incoming completed bar, and if you don't have 'setComputeOnClose(true)'
* in your preMain(), it is also called on every tick.
*/

//{{EFSWizard_Expressions
//{{EFSWizard_Expression_1
if (
low(inv("D")) > low(inv("D"), -1)
) onAction1();
//}}EFSWizard_Expression_1

//}}EFSWizard_Expressions


//{{EFSWizard_Return
return null;
//}}EFSWizard_Return

}

function postMain() {
/**
* The postMain() function is called only once, when the EFS is no longer used for
* the current symbol (ie, symbol change, chart closing, or application shutdown).
*/
}

//{{EFSWizard_Actions
//{{EFSWizard_Action_1
function onAction1() {
setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(0,128,0));
vLastAlert = 1;
}
//}}EFSWizard_Action_1

//}}EFSWizard_Actions

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The syntax you are using in low(inv("D"), -1) is incorrect
See this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase for the proper syntax of the function (complete with example)
