Identifying the 'value' of xSeries

[pjkowalski]

Below is a portion of code to draw a horizontal line at the highest close and lowest close of the last 25 bars. This works correctly.

var xSeriesLow = lowest(25, close());
var xSeriesHigh = highest(25, close());
. . . . . .
if(sInterval == "5") {
if(getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
removeLine(501);
}
drawLineRelative(-25, xSeriesHigh.getValue(-1), -1, xSeriesHigh5.getValue(-1), PS_SOLID, 3, Color.blue, 501);

if(getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
removeLine(502);
}
drawLineRelative(-25, xSeriesLow.getValue(-1), -1, xSeriesLow5.getValue(-1), PS_SOLID, 3, Color.blue, 502);
}


Now, I would like to perform a task if the currently active bar is less than the xSeriesLow line or greater than the xSeriesHigh line.

What do I put in this IF statement to test the 'value' of xSeries?
if(close < ????) { /**xSeriesLow
and
if(close > ????) { /**xSeriesHigh

Thanks for the help.

You would need to check the value of the series at the prior bar ie

if(close(0) < xSeriesLow.getValue(-1)) //do something
if(close(0) > xSeriesHigh.getValue(-1)) //do something else 

since the current Close by definition will never be higher than the current value of xSeriesHigh and will never be lower than the current value of xSeriesLow
