The new DATE([PERIOD],[INDICATOR]) function allows you to access past values of measures in new ways. In function, this feature works similar to the "days ago" phrase, as it modifies the desired measure; however, you can provide specific instructions on the actual offset of the days ago phrase.
The example below returns matches that are more than 10% above the opening price for the year.
To find stocks that are below the RSI(10) from the start of the month:
Valid options for the "PERIOD" argument:
- YEARSTART: Initial value of the indicator for the year
- YEAREND: Last value of the indicator for the prior year
- MONTHSTART: Initial value of the indicator for the month
- MONTHEND: Final value of the indicator for the prior month
- MONDAY - FRIDAY: Value from the specific day of the week
- YYYYMMDD: Specfic date
Here are a couple more examples:
Please let us know if you run into any issues with this new function, have any question about how it works, or would like to see any modifications.

+1000 kudos to the SF crew!
Edit: that is if I can get this to work
This should give me lines at monthly pivot lines. It does not however, although check syntax OK's everything.
Is there a way to code this?

If possible, can you provide an example where the numbers do not appear to match up with the syntax in your filter? For example, if you can supply a symbol and expected value, that would help us track where there may be any issues.
Thanks!

For some reason it didn't work when I made the changes in my original filter that I had to adjust for lookback days daily:
set{mh,high 21 day high 20 days ago}
set{ml,low 21 day low 20 days ago}
set{cl,close 20 days ago}
to
set{mh,date(monthend,high 21 day high)}
set{ml,date(monthend,low 21 day low)}
set{cl,date(monthend,close)}
but clicking my posted filter above works perfect. +1000 it is, thanks!

Is it possible to add for Optionable stocks to analyze from the Option Expiration Month (Generally 3rd Friday of the Month)?

Here is another way of drawing RELATIVE reference price lines by month based on the entire price range from low 1 month low to high 1 month high:
The following assumes 21 days in an average trading month; feel free to adjust [21] days to 15 or 30 or as you see fit.
A volatile prior month will automatically make the reference price lines for the following month more widely spread out; conversely, a quiet month (in consolidation) will make reference price lines meshed up together. The underlying logic being what if the price trend in the immediate prior month were to continue exactly as it has been? As a result any price behavior pattern deviated from prior month will stand out very quickly to catch one's attention. Because these relative reference price lines stay constant for the entire duration of the current month, there is no moving averages or other curves to distract one's eyes.
It can capture price shifts/reversals at bottom and tops better those those based off on "moving averages" or linear regression intercepts alone.
