Information about the prices
The only argument of the functions for obtaining information about the price is bar number. The current bar always has the number 0, the previous bar has a number 1 and so on.
| Function | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Open(bar) | Returns the opening price of the specified bar. | AVERAGE(OPEN(1), OPEN(2), OPEN(3))
(open(1) + open(2) + open(3)) / 3 |
| Close(bar) | Returns the closing price of the specified bar. | AVERAGE(CLOSE(1), CLOSE(2), CLOSE(2))
(close(1) + 2 * close(2)) / 3 |
| High(bar) | Returns the maximum price of the specified bar. | MAX(HIGH(0), HIGH(1), HIGH(2))
open(0) + high(0) - close(0) |
| Low(bar) | Returns the minimum price of the specified bar. | AVERAGE(MIN(HIGH(0), HIGH(1), HIGH(2)),MAX(LOW(0), LOW(1), LOW(2)))
high(0) - (open(0) - low(0)) |
Information from standard indicators
The last argument of the functions for obtaining information from standard indicators is the bar number. In case the indicator draws several lines, the penultimate argument is always the line number.
Valid values for some arguments are
| applied | 0 - Close 1 - Open 2 - High 3 - Low 4 - Median (High+Low)/2 5 - Typical (High+Low+Close)/3 6 - Weighted (Hgh+Low+2*Close)/4 |
| method | 0 - Simple 1 - Exponential 2 - Smoothed 3 - Linear Weighted |
| volume | 0 - Tick Volume 1 - Real Volume |
Some indicators in different platforms have different arguments. For the sake of compatibility of formulas for both platforms in functions that return the values of such indicators, extra arguments are ignored, and the missing ones are substituted with the default value.

Ranges
There are situations when you need to get the minimum, maximum or average value of a large number of arguments. The formula indicating the ranges of arguments will help to shorten the formula. You can apply ranges of arguments in functions that return price values and standard indicators.The range is indicated by integers, between which is the colon character.
Specifying ranges using expressions is not allowed.
A function in which one of the arguments is specified by a range of values should not have a function as other arguments.
Example:
Specifying ranges using expressions is not allowed.
A function in which one of the arguments is specified by a range of values should not have a function as other arguments.
