request.security_lower_tf() - Pine Script Function

`request.security_lower_tf()`

Overview

Requests the results of an expression from a specified symbol on a timeframe lower than or equal to the chart’s timeframe. It returns an array containing one element for each lower-timeframe bar within the chart bar. On a 5-minute chart, requesting data using a timeframe argument of “1” typically returns an array with five elements representing the value of the expression on each 1-minute bar, ordered by time with the earliest value first.

Syntax

request.security_lower_tf(symbol, timeframe, expression, ignore_invalid_symbol, currency, ignore_invalid_timeframe, calc_bars_count) → array<type>

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
symbol	series string	Symbol or ticker identifier of the requested data. Use an empty string or syminfo.tickerid to request data using the chart’s symbol. To retrieve data with additional modifiers (extended sessions

Returns

An array of a type determined by expression, or a tuple of these.

Remarks

Scripts using this function might calculate differently on historical and realtime bars, leading to repainting.
