Code: Select all
IntrabarPersist MovAvg(0);
MovAvg=Xaverage(price, 12);
Print(MovAvg[0] + "/" + MovAvg[1]);
Code: Select all
IntrabarPersist MovAvg(0), IntrabarPersist MovAvg_prev(0);
MovAvg=Xaverage(price, 12);
Print(MovAvg + "/" + MovAvg_prev);
MovAvg_prev = MovAvg;
My custom indicator updates on every tick, but how can I access the last tick value (on historical data)?How can I get the LAST TICK MovAvg value ?
Code: Select all
vars: intrabarpersist barHigh(0),
intrabarpersist barLow(0),
lastTick(0);
if CurrentBar = 1 then
ClearDebug;
//lastTick = Last; // Gives zero values
lastTick = Close; // Gives zero values
If BarStatus(1) = 0 then begin // If the tick is the first of the bar, initialize the values to the first tick for comparison purposes
barHigh = lastTick;
barLow = lastTick;
end;
if BarStatus(1) = 1 then begin // If the tick lays inside the bar, compare the values
if lastTick > barHigh then
barHigh = lastTick;
if lastTick < barLow then
barLow = lastTick;
end;
If BarStatus(1) = 2 then begin // Print the values when the bar had closed
Print(date:6:0, "-", time:4:0, " high of bar: ", barHigh:3:3, " low of bar: ", barLow:3:3, " close at: ", Close:3:3);
barLow = 0;
barHigh = 0;

LAST is for quote field use only.My custom indicator updates on every tick, but how can I access the last tick value (on historical data)?How can I get the LAST TICK MovAvg value ?
I've already tried Last, which gives zeros, and Close, which gives the close of the bar (if used with BarStatus = 2) otherwise also an zero. Is there any other function for this that I'm not aware off? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Here's what I have so far:

Thanks TJ for your quick response. Yes I know, Last is for real-time only. That's why I explicitly stated in my question that I used historical data. So practically I'm looking for an 'Last' function which works the same on historical data as the (normal) Last function works on real-time data, so that I can calculate with the ticks that run through the indicator when backtesting. Perhaps I could have explained that better in my initial post.LAST is for quote field use only.

If Last is an quote field (like you said and the manual confirms), but quote fields cannot be referenced historically (according to the manual and seemingly confirmed by all the zeros I keep getting), but they are not for real-time only (implying they can also be used for something different, such as historically?), how can Last (being a quote field) be referenced historically?
Would you care to elaborate and help this beginner out?
