Lowest Low and Date/Timestamp

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  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.
