//create a Series Object of the midpoint low price of IBM. var xSeries =midpoint(10,low(sym("IBM")));
//create a Series Object of the midpoint low price from 15 min interval. var xSeries =midpoint(10,low(inv(15)));
//create a Series Object of the midpoint value from sma(20). var xSeries =midpoint(10,sma(20));
//retrieve a single value for the current bar. var nValue_0 =midpoint(10,0);
//retrieve a single value for the previous bar. var nValue_1 =midpoint(10,-1);
