What is ta.lowest() in Pine Script?

ta.lowest(source, length) returns the minimum value of source over the most recent length bars, ignoring na values.

How do I find the lowest low of the last 20 bars?

Use ta.lowest(low, 20). Swap in close or another series if you need the lowest close instead.

How do I combine ta.highest() and ta.lowest()?

Together they form channel bands (e.g., Donchian), range metrics, or stochastic-style position of price within a window: (close - lowest) / (highest - lowest).
