period |
int | Lookback period |
Formula
lowest_bars_ago = sample_number - sample_number of ARG_MIN(source) over the trailing period windowExamples
// lowest close right now (fresh 20-bar low)
lowest_bars_ago(close, 20) == 0;// lowest occurred more than 10 bars ago (recovering)
lowest_bars_ago(low, 50) > 10;// lowest within last 5 bars (recent weakness)
lowest_bars_ago(close, 20) < 5;Returns
int
Range
period must be 2-400

NULL when source is NULL on every bar of the trailing window -- e.g. a nested indicator source still in its own warm-up
