The reason I use a lookback of nBarsSincePattern + 1 is because your pattern definition requires 3 bars to make a pattern where the middle bar forms the lowest low. We reset the counter to 0 on the right most bar of your pattern. Since you wanted to reference some price point of this middle bar we need to lookback 1 bar + the number of bars since the last pattern reach the middle bar you wanted to use. | |
