get specific candle from past

[joker12]

Hi guys, anybody who could advice how to work with specific candle from past, pls?

I am able to find it with loop(first 3 lines of code below), but after I want work more with it, but its not possible use neither t nor h in those brackets [] as those are variables and just constats are permited..any solution??

def t= fold y= 2 to 7 with p=1 while((open[y]>lov && close[y]>lov) or (open[y]<lov && close[y]<lov) or (open[y]>up && close[y]>up) or (open[y]<up && close[y]<up) ) do P+1;
def h= if(t==7) then 0 else t;
#check more details of found candle/error here : just constants permited
def kandle= if(open[h]>close[h] && close[h]<lov) then -1 else 1;

can you post all of the code? it is missing variables lov and up.

usually , getvalue() is used in a fold to read data.
using getvalue() , might do what you want in the last code line.

def kandle = if( getvalue(open, h) > getvalue(close, h) and getvalue(close, h) < lov) then -1 else 1;

lov is just previous day low and up previous day high..never mind, since meanwhile I found out, that I cant use various timeframes in watchlist column..(I am basicaly checking for specific entry signals around previous days low and high)

In any case would be usefull for me to know way how to get this data what I wanted: with code above I am able find candle from past which break through previous day low or high - but in next code I want to work with this candle=I need get this specific number of candle= lets say it was 3rd candle backward= so I need stored somehow 3...(in my code above it should be value of p and so also t at the end (if i understand fold correctly), but I cant use those two in form : close[p], or close [t], since they are variables not constats and so throwing me error..
