Using BARDATE() to display when a condition last happened

[Darren]

Combine the BARDATE() function with a true/false condition to show when that event last occurred in a watchlist, chart header, or Chart Element. For example, the date of the highest high price:

SIG1 = HIGH() == HIGHESTHIGH(RANGE=All Time); BARDATE(SIG1)

1 2 3 4

SIG1 = HIGH() == HIGHESTHIGH(RANGE=All Time); BARDATE(SIG1)

When the latest closing price was this high:

D1=LAST(CLOSE()); BARDATE(CLOSE()>D1)

1 2 3 4

D1=LAST(CLOSE()); BARDATE(CLOSE()>D1)

To count the number of days since the event use the TIMESINCESIGNAL() function:

D1=LAST(CLOSE()); TIMESINCESIGNAL(CLOSE()>D1, UNIT=Days)

1 2 3 4

D1=LAST(CLOSE()); TIMESINCESIGNAL(CLOSE()>D1, UNIT=Days)

In this example, NXT on the ASX had its highest close since July 3rd 2018 (569 days ago).
