Get bar index at specific date across all time frames.

  //@version=5

  anchorTime = input.time(timestamp("20 May 2022 15:00 -0500"), "Date")

  anchorBarIndex = (time - anchorTime) / (1000 * timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period))

  anchorBarsBack = bar_index - anchorBarIndex

Let's say you want to get candle data in 1H timeframe on June 30th 3AM GMT+8

x1 = (time - timestamp("GMT+8",2021,06,30,03,00,00))/3600000

candleHigh = high[x1]

If you're in different TF just convert it to milisecond

timestamp function would return UNIX time of specified date and time.

If time in ms is more the Jan 3, grab the low. For intraday specify minutes in the timestamp function.

//@version=4
study("low on specific date")

specificDate = time >= timestamp(2019, 1, 3, 00, 00)

var float lowOnDate= na
if specificDate and not specificDate[1]
    lowOnDate := low
plot(lowOnDate)
