    Hello

    This seems pretty straightforward but I've been looking for days for a solution with nothing to show.

    I am looking for Pinescript code to find the last (most recent) green ( close above open) or red (close below open) candle from the current candle. I want to return the opening price in either scenario.
    Thank you for any help!

    Hi

    I'd use the barstate.islast function for that

    green_candle = open[1] > close[1]
red_candle = open[1] < close[1]

if barstate.islast

   open_price_green = ta.valuewhen(green_candle, 0, open)
   open_price_red = ta.valuewhen(red_candle, 0, open)

    I haven't tested :) but it should work
