My trading universe will be limited to USDCAD, EURUSD, AUDUSD, USOIL and XAUUSD.
I want to be able scan these pairs to see if the previous day was a new high compared against previous minus one. ie. the day before the previous.
Once we have identified these pairs it will be available for a 15 min day strategy. My problem is that since im looking at minute data for my strategy how do i look at daily data from the previous todays to fullfill my first daily criteria

Hi Lakith Lankaputhra,
To compare the previous day's high with the high of the day before, we recommend using a RollingWindow. The attached backtest demonstrates how to warm it up and set up a daily consolidator to keep it updated. To place trades on a 15 minute basis, consider adding a Scheduled Event.
Best,
