"the shift" of a Bar

New comment
 

I am sorry for asking this question maybe I have a translation problem, but surely it is going to be one of the most stupid questions ever asked.

I want to know what is "the shift" of a Bar?

Could anyone explain me the concept in other words?

Thanks in advance.

 

S

Shift is the count of bars going backwards from the current one - the current candle is bar zero, i.e. the one that is active right now

So... iLow("USDCHF", PERIOD_H1, 0) is the lowest value of the current hourly bar of the USDCHF pair

and.. iHigh("USDCHF", PERIOD_H1, 1) is the highest value of the last closed bar

and.. iHigh("USDCHF", PERIOD_H1, 2) is the highest value of the one before that, etc, etc

Good Luck
