COT Data Strategy

[superkolleech]

Hello,
I want to build a COT Data Strategy. The trigger for going Long is a new 12-day high.Before that the value of the commercials must have been below a certain value. Since I don't know when that happens, what can I put in for "days ago"? is the some kind of variable I can put there that is not tied to a specific number?
I hopeyou understand me, it is hard for me to explain it in English.

Hi superkolleech,
Perhaps CrossBelow() or/and CrossAbove() can help you.

Both allow to identify a cross of a certain value in a certain time frame in a desired direction.
You don't need to know the exact date of the occurrence. It is enough to determine the lookback period in which the relevant event needs to occur.

Hello superkolleech,

You can use GetBar() to get a bar by time such as Time[0].AddDays(-1) to see what an indicator value is on that bar.
