diferent values

[jaimeog]

Good morning to everybody,

Hope somebody can help me...

If I'm on the 2 hour interval, is there a way to know
the value that a candle had on the 1 minute interval
100 minutes ago ( 100 candles before)?

have a great day,

Jaime

The close would be:

close(-100, inv(1));

You could have a simple study to plot/return the value:

function main()

return( close(-100,inv(1) ) ; 

But, it's your lucky day because I wrote a couple of studies for you to use.

The first study, TRO_OldPrice, gives you what you asked for:

/****

TRO_OldPrice 1:41 PM 8/15/2006   PLOT/DISPLAY price from user interval, periods ago
 
Programmer:  Avery T. Horton, Jr.  aka *************,  

please include this and/or any other comment blocks and a 
description of any changes you make.

****/

function preMain() {

    setComputeOnClose();    //force this script to only update on each new bar 

    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("TRO_OldPrice");
    setCursorLabelName("OldPrice", 0); 

    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue,0); 

    setDefaultBarThickness(2,0);  

    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_LINE ,0);  

    var iInterval = new FunctionParameter("iInterval", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
    iInterval.setDefault( 1 ); 

    var iPeriods = new FunctionParameter("iPeriods", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
    iPeriods.setDefault( -100 );
 
}

askForInput();
 
function main( iInterval , iPeriods ) {

var xPrice =    close(iPeriods, inv(iInterval) )   ;

return( xPrice );  
 
} 

This second study, TRO_BarCount, I wrote to check my work:

/****

TRO_BarCount 1:41 PM 8/15/2006   PLOT/DISPLAY BAR COUNT
 
Programmer:  Avery T. Horton, Jr.  aka *************,  

please include this and/or any other comment blocks and a 
description of any changes you make.

****/

function preMain() {

    setComputeOnClose();    //force this script to only update on each new bar 

    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("TRO_BarCount");
    setCursorLabelName("BarCount", 0); 
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.black,0); 
 
}
  
function main() {

return( ""+getCurrentBarCount() );  

} 

HTH.
