How to call a custom indicator in the past with proscreener

  Hi,

  I’m trying to call a custom indicator function from a proscreener scan.

  What I’m trying to do is to request a custom bar index in the past : for example the indicator result from 30 days ago (as it appears on the charts)…

  I found the CustomClose parameter but it doesn’t seem to be working…

  Is that even possible ?

  So far I came up with this :

  My Code

  // Here I'm trying to get the result for my indicator "myCustomFunction" : // Today // 10 days ago // 20 days ago // What the indicator does is not important in this example... // Let's say it returns either 1 or 0, and here I'm trying to find stocks in which the indicator value was 1 on bars 0, 10, 20 score0 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[0]) score1 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[10]) score2 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[20]) score = score0 + score1 + score2 SCREENER[score = 3](score as "score")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  // Here I'm trying to get the result for my indicator "myCustomFunction" : // Today // 10 days ago // 20 days ago // What the indicator does is not important in this example... // Let's say it returns either 1 or 0, and here I'm trying to find stocks in which the indicator value was 1 on bars 0, 10, 20   score0 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[0]) score1 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[10]) score2 = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose[20])   score = score0 + score1 + score2   SCREENER[score = 3](score as "score")

  I did not test it, but you can try

  // Here I'm trying to get the result for my indicator : // Today // 10 days ago // 20 days ago // The indicator doesn't matter in this example. // Let's say it returns either 1 or 0, and here I'm trying to find stocks in which the indicator value was 1 on bars 0, 10, 20 MyScore = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose) score = MyScore + MyScore[10] + MyScore[20] SCREENER[score](score as "score")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  // Here I'm trying to get the result for my indicator : // Today // 10 days ago // 20 days ago // The indicator doesn't matter in this example. // Let's say it returns either 1 or 0, and here I'm trying to find stocks in which the indicator value was 1 on bars 0, 10, 20 MyScore = CALL "myCustomFunction"(CustomClose) score = MyScore  + MyScore[10] + MyScore[20] SCREENER[score](score as "score")
