Find the Lowest between 2 Conditions

Question

I want to find the highest value between the previous inside_bar and longCondition.

inside_bar = high <= high[1] and low >= low[1] 

longCondition = ta.crossover(a, b)

The logic is when longCondition happens, I want to find the previous inside_bar (which formed before longCondition) and find the highest bar value between them.

Here's a screenshot for better understanding: https://prnt.sc/qtrgEnl6lHx6

Answer 1

You can do that with a var variables. Just reset it when it is an inside bar and check its value when your condition is true.

var highest_val = high

if (inside_bar)
    highest_val := high      // Reset
else
    if (high > highest_val)  // Update
        highest_val := high

// Check the value of highest_val when longCondition is true
