day offset

[drankman]

Hello,

I am trying to understand how to use highest/lowest candle period using time period.
How do I better put the day offset?

For instance, I'd like to do this as follow:

Case #1. I'd like to find highest/lowest in the last 3days or 4 days, etc? Do I need to consider Sunday/Saturday as well?
I believe this one is dynamic one, because if the day change +1, then it only consider the last 3 days etc.

Case #2. I'd like to find highest/lowest since Tuesday last week or Wednesday last week?
I think this one would be static one. since if I want to create period of time from certain day from last week/month etc.

Any idea how to configure the EA in each case?

Thanks guys!

@andrewfrank In my opinions the easiest way should be selecting daily candles. If your chart market is not open on weekends those days will be obviously ignored so that you will not need to consider them at all. I mean something like this:

In this example the lowest price between yesterday (starting candle) and 5 days ago (ending candle) will be searched for.

@andrewfrank I would do as @l-andorrà has suggested, if you put a number in the offset box it will look that many days in the past.
