high(0), low(0), etc is what you would use to retrieve those values for the current bar. For prior bars use a negative value (for example the low of two bars ago would be low(-2))

thank you very much for your fast answer!!

can you tell me please, is it possible in eSignal (while back testing) to program a stop/loss decision,
f.g.
you buy eur/us$ long at open price 1.35112
an that you program that it should stop loss at -100 pips, and take profil at +100 pips,
and how, may be you can show me an example,

thanks,

Yes it is possible. To see how it can be done you may want to read the Guide to Developing eSignal Strategies which contains sample efs(s) that compute profit targets and stops
