close < all_time_low(low) * 1.1;  # Within 10% of all-time low

Notes

Requires full price history (infinite lookback); useful for identifying stocks near all-time lows and often combined with all_time_high for range analysis; works in mtf() blocks for cross-timeframe analysis; the value decreases monotonically, never increasing over time
