Hi All,

Thanks for all the support.

This is a quick question. I was just wondering if they was a command to compare values [n] candles ago so for example;

How would I compare if Bolinger bands were higher than the RSI for the previous two candles.

Thanks in Advance,

Comparing BB with RSI is impossible, since the first one refers to prices, while the latter to a range (0-100).

But for other indicators, yes it is easy, let’s say you want to know whether there’s been a CROSSOVER in anyone of the last 3 bars:
```
FastMA = average[5,0](close)
SlowMA = average[25,0](close)
x = summation[3](FastMA CROSSES OVER SlowMA)  //x will be true if the crossing occurred within anyone of the last 3 bars
IF x THEN......
```
If you want to test specifically the 2nd previous bar you can write:
```
x = FastMA[2] CROSSES OVER SlowMA[2] //x will be true if in the 2nd previous bar there's been a crossover
```
or (it works the same):
```
x = FastMA CROSSES OVER SlowMA //x will be true if there's a crossover
IF x[2] THEN                   //you test x for the 2nd previous bar
   .
   .
ENDIF
```
