Example

// Get current bar's low price
const currentLow = this.api.Low(0);

// Get previous bar's low price
const previousLow = this.api.Low(1);

// Find lowest price over last 3 bars
let lowestPrice = this.api.Low(0);
for (let i = 1; i < 3; i++) {
  const low = this.api.Low(i);
  if (low < lowestPrice) {
    lowestPrice = low;
  }
}
console.log(`Lowest price in last 3 bars: ${lowestPrice}`);

// Check if current bar made new low
if (this.api.Low(0) < this.api.Low(1)) {
  console.log("New low formed on current bar");
}
