How to get or determine the barIndex or number by the cross point
-
Assumed 6 days ago and 12 days ago there were MACD crossover. How can I get or determine their barIndex, so I can get the value of the MACD Line?

Many thanks!
I simply use the example code here: https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/barssince/
But how can I understand the values? Here is a screenshot. The “previous occurrence” is 5 and the “last occurrence” is 0. By the second screenshot, the “previous occurrence” is 8 and the “last occurrence” is still 0
I can’t figure out why your data seem to be wrong.
Mine are correct as you can see from my attached picture.
I remind you that 0 is the current bar, 1 is the first bar preceding the current bar, …. 7 is the seventh bar prior to the current one. So 0 means the crossover occurred on the CURRENT bar.

Ok, now I got it. Many thanks!
