GET LOWEST OF A BAR

HELLO I HAVE A TRADING SYSTEM THAT WORKS IN CHARTS IN HOURLY BARS, AND AT 9 IN THE MORNING IT NEEDS TO GET THE LOW BAR TO BE USED LATER IN AN STOP ORDER.

SO I USE THIS FUNCTION : (ONCE THE BAR IT'S AT 9 IN THE MORNING)

float TrueLow= GetTrueLow(sc.BaseDataIn);

But to use this value in an stop order I have to convert the float value into a SCFLoat Array or an Subgraph extra array right?

Can anybody tell me how to do this please?

Thank you

You need to use:
float BarLow = sc.Low[sc.Index];

Why do you need to do this? It makes no sense to us.

Here is an example:
    s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
    NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 1;
    NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP;
    NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_DAY;
    NewOrder.Price1 = BarLow;

You also need to include this line in your code:
float BarLow = sc.Low[sc.Index];
