TimeFrame functions http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_timeframe.html or GetRTData http://www.amibroker.com/f?getrtdata allow you to get yesterdays high quickly > > In backtest i use daily data so I only need to do ref(High,-1) to get > yesterdays high, but this won't work using intra-day bars. That's why timeframe functions are there - to allow to reference data from other timeframes.
