Rolling min

What does Rolling min measure?

The lowest value another series reached over a recent window. This is the squeeze primitive: Bollinger width at its own 60-day low.

How is Rolling min calculated?

You point it at a `source` — either a base feature like `close` or an indicator you attached EARLIER in the list — and it reports the smallest value that source has taken over the last 20 candles. Only past candles are ever read.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Rolling min in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type rolling_min (parameters: length, default 20). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
