MININDEX

Summary

Returns the absolute index of the lowest value within a rolling window of the given period. Same scan as MIN but outputs the position of the minimum rather than its value.

Formula

outInteger[t] = argmin_{t-period+1 <= i <= t} inReal[i] (absolute index into inReal)

Notes

When several bars in a window share the lowest value, which bar's index is returned is not guaranteed to be a specific one of the tied bars.

Inputs

inReal — Series to scan for its minimum

Outputs

outInteger — Absolute index in inReal of the lowest value in each window

Parameters

optInTimePeriod — Window length over which the minimum is located
