getValue()

 

getValue( barType [, nOffset] [, nNumBars] [,Symbol] )

 

Returns a data series value or values RELATIVE to the bar currently being built.

 

• barType: "Open", "High", "Low", "Close", "Time", "rawtime", "Volume", "oi", "year", "month", "day", "hour", "minute", "second"
• nOffset: Offset from the "relative" bar. The relative bar is maintained by the formula engine. It is the index of the bar currently being computed.
• nNumBars: Number of bars to return 
• Symbol: The symbol for which to return data. Symbol may have an Interval suffix (e.g., "IBM,5")

 

Examples:

 

var vValue = getValue( "open", 0  );  //returns the current bar's open value

 

var vValue = getValue( "open", 0, 1 );  //ditto

 

var vValue = getValue( "close", -1 );  //get the previous bar's close

 

var vValue = getValue( "high", -7 );  //get the high from 7 bars ago

 

var aValues = getValue( "close", 0, -10 ); //fills array aValues with the 10 most recent closes.
