llow

Lowest low

Using a fints object for the Data argument of llow is not recommended. Use a matrix, timetable, or table instead for financial time series. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects fints to Timetables.

Syntax

values = llow(Data)

values = llow(___,Name,Value)

Description

values = llow(Data) generates a vector of lowest low values from the series of low prices for the past n periods.

values = llow(___,Name,Value) adds optional name-value pair arguments.

Examples

Calculate the Lowest Low for a Data Series for a Stock

Load the file SimulatedStock.mat, which provides a timetable (TMW) for financial data for TMW stock.

load SimulatedStock.mat
values = llow(TMW);
plot(values.Time,values.LowestLow)
title('Lowest Low for TMW')

Input Arguments

Data — Data for low prices

matrix | table | timetable

Data for low prices, specified as a matrix, table, or timetable. Timetables and tables with M rows must contain a variable named 'Low' (case insensitive).

Data Types: double | table | timetable

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: values = llow(TMW_LOW,'NumPeriods',10)

'NumPeriods' — Moving window for the lowest low calculation

14 (default) | positive integer

Moving window for the lowest low calculation, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'NumPeriods' and a scalar positive integer.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

values — Lowest low series

matrix | table | timetable

Lowest low series, returned with the same number of rows (M) and the same type (matrix, table, or timetable) as the input Data.
