I don't think there is any. The only time it would matter is if you had an external symbol (Symbol), in which case you would use Symbol.Low[bar-1] to designate the low for the external symbol as opposed to the symbol the strategy was operating on.

Many thx for reply !
Could you tell me how can I introduce external symbol. For example the code below doesn't compile
and gives me error : "the name SPY does not exist in the current context "

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

See GetExternalSymbol() in the QuickRef (F11), which actually contains an example using SPY!

And before asking basic questions like this, let me strongly recommend that you review the WealthScript Programming Guide: DataSeries > Accessing Secondary Symbols.
