Array of closes from one timeframe into another

[Guest]

Robert,

Regarding a barcounter, just to let you know, there is a new function, getCurrentBarCount(); which eliminates, at least in the native chart, the need to iterate a variable every newbar. This new function however would not work for keeping track of the bars from the other intervals.

I have now installed 7.9.1 and looked at the functions:-

getBarStateInterval("interval")
getBarStateSymbol("symbol" or "symbol,interval")

and cannot see how to use in a bar counting method as all I get is a bunch of zeros.

What I want to achieve is a bar counting result from a higher timeframe into a smaller timeframe.

I am not sure as to how you are using getBarStateInterval() or getBarStateSymbol() anyhow here is what I see at my end when using the enclosed script

var vCounter = 1;

function main(){

    if(getBarStateInterval("D")==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){
        vCounter++;
    }
    
    return vCounter;
} 

The Time Template used in the charts enclosed below is set to load 10 Days of data as Intraday Default. As you can see any interval used will return correctly 9 as the count (10 being today but not plotting any data at this time)

FWIW I have created a function library that contains the functions you mentioned (ie trueHigh, trueLow, etc).
You can find it here together with its documentation.

If we could get the functions I mentioned soon that would be great, with full capability to call full arrays as well as referencing other symbols and timeframes. The formula for each function would be as follows:-

truehigh(nOff) = Math.max( close(-(nOff+1)), high(-(nOff) )

truelow(nOff) = Math.min( close(-(nOff+1)), low(-(nOff) )

range(nOff) = high(nOff) - low(nOff);

truerange(nOff) = Math.max (Math.max (Math.abs(high(-(nOff)) - low(-(nOff))), Math.abs(close(-(nOff+1)) - high(-(nOff)))), Math.abs(close(-(nOff+1))- low(-(nOff)))) );
