How to ask StockFetcher to locate a particular bar in the past?

For example, how can I tell it to find the last bar that makes the new 20-day high?

Or how to find the last bar that crossed the 50-day moving average?

Any idea?

I want to express this logic:

In the last 10 days, a new 40 day high was reached, and the day that made the high had the highest volume in 5 days.

I wrote the following but stockfetcher cannot understand

set{var1,days(high reached a new 40 day high,10)}
set{var2,volume var1 day ago}
var2 reached a 5 day high

Thanks for the "day since" post, but the problem is not about this (I used this in the example). The problem is that after I found out the "day since" number, I am unable to put it into the "days ago" parameter.

If I want to use "days ago", I must input a direct number, like "3 days ago" but I cannot set a variable (say "Var1") and use "Var1 days ago". StockFetcher simply does not recognise it.

Fetcher[
set{var1, count(rsi(2) 1 day ago > rsi(2),5)}
var1 > 4
draw var1 line at 5
add column var1
draw rsi(2)
