prices()

A list of past prices, newest first: by default the mid closes of the last n bars of your session’s instrument and timeframe.

declare const prices: PricesFunction;

interface PricesFunction extends PricesSide {
    readonly mid: PricesSide;
    readonly bid: PricesSide;
    readonly ask: PricesSide;
}

interface PricesSide {
    /** The last `n` closes, newest first, or the closes from a time, optionally to a time or for a duration in milliseconds. */
    (n: number): number[];
    (from: Date, to?: Date | number): number[];
    open(n: number): number[];
    open(from: Date, to?: Date | number): number[];
    high(n: number): number[];
    high(from: Date, to?: Date | number): number[];
    low(n: number): number[];
    low(from: Date, to?: Date | number): number[];
    close(n: number): number[];
    close(from: Date, to?: Date | number): number[];
    ohlc(n: number): Bar[];
    ohlc(from: Date, to?: Date | number): Bar[];
}

Parameters

• n: how many bars, 1 or more. The first item is the most recent close.
• from, to (instead of n): every bar from a Date, up to now, up to another Date, or for a number of milliseconds.

The variants match price(): prices.high(n), prices.bid.close(n), prices.ask.ohlc(n) and so on, on every timeframe.

Errors

The run stops for prices(0) (“Requested zero prices. Must be 1 or greater”), a number that is not whole, a range that ends before it starts, or a range in the future. As with price(), asking for more history than was loaded pauses the run while it loads.

Example

function onIntervalClose() {
  const closes = prices(20);
  const highs = H1.prices.high(24);
  log("20-bar average", Math.average(closes), "24-hour high", Math.highest(highs));
}
