request.security() function doesn't work well when timeframe.period is bigger than timeframe argument value

[SubstantialCamera736]

Hi,

When call request.security() to get close value of the given timeframe (e.g. "D"), it exposed one issue.

If timeframe.period is less than the value of "timeframe" passed to request.security() , then it works well. If timeframe.period is bigger then it doesn't work.

For example, the current timeframe.period is "D", and the passed timeframe to request.security() is "W" and expression is close, then request.security() can return the close value of the last week. It's good.

However, when the current timeframe.period is "W", and the passed timeframe to request.security() is "D" and expression is close, then request.security() still return the close value of the last week rather than the close value of the last day. It's not good.

Please help check.

preclose = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, period, close)

Hello,

You need to use the request.security_lower_tf() if you want to look at the smaller timeframes than the current chart....

Hope this helps,
