The LowestFC (Fast Calculation) series function returns the lowest price value over a range of bars.

Syntax

LowestFC(Price, Length)

Returns (Double)

The lowest Price found over the past Length bars.

Parameters

Name

Type

Description

Price

Numeric

Specifies which bar value (price, function, or formula) to evaluate.

Length

Numeric

Sets the number of bars to consider.

Remarks

The input parameter Price can be a bar value such as Close, High, Low, Open, or Volume. It can also be any mathematical calculation such as: ( High + Low) / 2, or a numeric function such as RSI, Stochastic, or ADX.

  This series function returns exactly the same value as Lowest except that it uses a fast calculation method that takes slightly more memory than the non-FC version.

Example

The following assigns the lowest Low value for the last 14 bars to Value1:

Value1 = LowestFC(Low, 14);
