Buy conditioned by second ticker

Buy conditioned by second ticker

Whether a buy is triggered depends on whether QQQQ closes higher the same day than 2 days ago. I am not getting expected results with this code:
Rule1 = rsi(11)>80;
a=Ticker1("qqqq",3,close,LastData);
ra = a > ref(a,2);
buy = (Rule1 && ra);

My guess is I don't understand Ticker1 (or Ticker). Are the dates synchronized? What should I be using?
Thanks.
Pete

Best Answer

Ticker and Ticker1 are the same. The only difference is that Ticker1 allows you to specify a different timeframe.
In the example you provided me, you have set "3 days" as timeframe.
You should write instead:
Ticker1("qqqq",1,close,LastData)
OR
Ticker("qqqq",close,LastData);

The best way to see how functions work is to plot them on a chart.
