Consecutive Candles on Specific date

prevailution · 2019-05-27T18:15:12+00:00

Hi, I am using a 3 consecutive candle screener searching for short term uptrends but I would like the screener to show me when the conditions were met on a previous date (so that I can see how stock behaved after meeting these conditions) It’s only working for the last trading day, I get 0 results when I change the date to anything other than last trading day. How do I get there screener to show the conditions met for previous days? a = close b = close [1] c = close [2] d = close [3] if a>b and b>c and c>d then i =1 else i = 0 endif minVolume = 100000 minClose = 20 idate = 20190524 SCREENER [i and Volume>minVolume and Close>minClose and date=idate]

```
a = close
b = close [1]
c = close [2]
d = close [3]

if a>b and b>c and c>d then
i =1
else
i = 0
endif

minVolume = 100000
minClose = 20
idate = 20190524


SCREENER [i and Volume>minVolume and Close>minClose and date=idate]

I’m not big on the workings of screeners but I’m guessing that you could just change:
```
a = close
b = close [1]
c = close [2]
d = close [3]
```
to something like this to test for the same thing 10 candles ago:
```
a = close[9]
b = close [10]
c = close [11]
d = close [12]
```
