Custom High/Low Indicator with Labels

I have a really good mental image of what I would like to do, but stuck. Here is what I am looking for, in a nutshell:

  • Inputs for Length and Aggregation Period, so I could select ’10 Days’ or ’30 Minutes’ or whatever
  • Study would then:
    • Calculate the HighestHigh over the above timeframe, using my inputs
    • Look intraday for a new high that is greater than the Highest High
    • If true, paint a bubble at the candle where the new high occurred
  • Create a label to look something like this:
    • { New [Len_Agg] High: $12.34 }
    • If a new high had not been made, label would say ‘New High: No’

I’d then do the exact same thing for ‘Low’, using a second label.

Would also love to be able to then scan that criteria, i.e. – Where ‘New High’ is true or something…? Essentially, tell me the stocks that have made a new high in the last 10 days or a new low in the last 30 weeks or whatever timeframe. But maybe that is separate?

I have been at this for a while and am stuck. PLEASE HELP OH GREAT ONE!

The complexity of this solution is way beyond the scope of what I can provide in the 15 minutes I allow for Q&A forum solutions.

The following free tutorial is the closest offering we have published for what you are requesting:

You didn't break any rules. Nothing to apologize for. Never hurts to ask.

I think if I could just figure out how to find the highest high over the last N periods, I could (maybe) take it the rest of the way. Any chance to see an example of how to code "find the highest high of the last 40 days"?

Here is a post that gets the lowest in x bars. https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/how-to-plot-lowest-low-out-of-the-last-5-candles/ Works very much the same in reverse: https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Tech-Analysis/Highest
