Lowest Low and Date/Timestamp

mr blue · 2018-01-23T04:11:53+00:00

I am looking for a code snippet to identify the lowest low over a specific period – let’s say 200 bars and the function should return following 3 values: the value of the low candle the date when the low occured in format YYYYMMDD the time when the low occured in format HHMMSS has anybody already coded this or a hint, how to do this smart? many thanks in advance

I am looking for a code snippet to identify the lowest low over a specific period – let’s say 200 bars and the function should return following 3 values:

the value of the low candle

the date when the low occured in format YYYYMMDD

the time when the low occured in format HHMMSS

has anybody already coded this or a hint, how to do this smart?

many thanks in advance

after having RTFM i coded following
```
for i=0 to IntradayBarIndex do
if low[barindex[i]] = DLow(0) then
mydate = date
mytime = time[barindex[i]]
break
endif
next
```
works for the moment. as I need to identify the low of the day with date/timestamp.

if you have a smarter way, share it.

There is no built-in instruction to find it, and you did it the good way. For future readers, we should say that your code snippet is made to identify the timestamp of the lowest bar in an intraday timeframe.
