FIRST() Function
The FIRST()
function can be used to get the first value of a bar (closing value by default) or indicator (see also LAST() function).
For example, FIRST()
in a watchlist column will return the closing value of the first bar of the data series.
FIRST(BARDATE())
will return the date of the first bar, which can be formatted as a Date column in a watchlist, ie February 8th 1984 for ANZ.
Note
The watchlist's Date Range property must be set to Everything to load all the available data.
