bar reference in studies

[cod0973]

When I program in easy language I can do things such as this:

If MACDAVG >= MACDAVG[1].....
(comparing the function to the fuction one bar ago)

Since the mac function does not have a parameter for previous bars, is there an easy way to do the same thing in EFS?

Thanks,

You can easily retrieve past values of builtin studies.
For example assuming you named your MACD study vMACD you would then retrieve the prior value by writing vMACD.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD,-nn) where -nn is the number of bars back ie -1 is the prior bar, -2 two bars ago, etc
