  • nOffset: Offset from the "relative" bar. The relative bar is maintained by the formula engine. It is the index of the bar currently being computed.

var vValue = getValueAbsolute( "Open", 0, 1 );  //ditto
var aValues = getValueAbsolute( "Close", 0, -10 ); //fills array aValues with the 10 most recent closes
