Using PriordayOHLC to retreive 2 days ago

[johnroe]

Hi - I'm programming a strategy which will need to compare the close of 2 days ago with the close of 1 day ago. How can I do get the close of 2 days ago, ie:

PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0] < PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]

?

PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[1] < PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[2]

That seems to prevent any trades from showing up

What am I doing wrong with this code? Basically, I'm trying to say if the close of the 833 AM bar is below yesterday's close and the close of 2 days ago is below yesterday's close, buy at the market. IE

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(8, 33, 0)
&& Close[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0] + -2 * TickSize
&& PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[2] < PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[1])
{
EnterLong()
}

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Any time you run a strategy/indicator and it does not work as expected you should check the Control Center log tab for any errors. I suspect you might see one that says "index out of range"

If yes, please see the following tip for additional information.

No Erros on Log

There are no errors on the log - I'm running it on a 1 minute ES Chart with 15 days of info - the index is in range.

It appears the logic isn't working. But under this logic on the ES - there should have been many trades over the course of that 15 days. What is wrong with the syntax of comparing the close of 2 days ago to the close of 1 day ago?

Since I don't have your data set I can't tell what this code snippet should or should not do.

At this stage, you will have to debug your code and break into smaller pieces to see what is happening/not happening and why.
