I'm trying to find the lowest price in an array of bars on the chart. I'm using a pointer that is in the SCInputRef to determine how many bars or indices to look back. if (sc.SetDefaults) { PivotLength.Name = "Pivot Length"; PivotLength.SetInt(5); PivotLength.SetIntLimits(1, MAX_STUDY_LENGTH); return; } SCDateTime LowDT; int Arr[] = { sc.BaseData[SC_LOW][sc.Index - PivotLength.GetInt()] }; int i; int Low = Arr[0]; for (i = 0; i >= sc.BaseData[SC_LOW][sc.Index - PivotLength.GetInt()]; i++) { if (Arr[i] < Low) { Arr[i] = Low; Low = Arr[i]; LowDT = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.Index - PivotLength.GetInt()]; } } Can you give some advice to where I'm going wrong? I'm new to the platform. It's quality though! |

Probably built-in sc functions might be better for what you are trying to do unless you wanted a custom version of it. sc.GetLowest() sc.GetIndexOfLowestValue() |

The answer given in post #2 is the same answer we would have given.

ejtrader and Sierra Chart support thanks for the help! I didn't initially see the sc function.
