Hello Nuno,

Do you want to know the price values of a bar with the same Day and Month but 1 year before current?
What is your chart resolution?

What if the day is a holiday or weekend?
Should it return "zero"?

is it possible to have the day after 1 year if the day is a holiday?

is it much easy to have the close mini 365 days before?

What if that is a Saturday? and the day after is a Sunday?


In the case of a long weekend, the Monday is a holiday.
In the case of Easter, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are non-trading days.
For some markets, the Easter Monday is a day off as well.


You have to think your question through.



The easiest method is to estimate the number of trading days in a year.

eg if there are 250 trading days in a year,
then the close of 250 days prior would be:

Close[250]

One year = 250 days so close[250] is the easiest solution
Thank you
