New High/Low time stamp alert

Well I have not heard back from Adrianna. I have posted a response to this very topic under a previous request in the forum. Anyone searching for a solution to this one should view my response here: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/tos-scanner-for-new-high-intraday/

Keep in mind that solution provided above can only scan for new high/low during current trading day. It cannot look back any further. If Adrianna ever gets back to use with clarifications on the items I requested, we can work out a more detailed solution for her.

Ok, so the request is to build a scan that checks if there is a new intraday high or low within a 5 day period. The simplest solution I can think of at the moment is to use a two stage scan.

Stage One: Daily

Stage one would be set to a daily time frame. This would check the last 5 daily bars to see if the current day has a higher high or a lower low than any of the previous 4 days.

Stage Two: 5 Min

In stage two we then apply the solution I provided here: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/tos-scanner-for-new-high-intraday/ .Which will run on the 5 min time frame to check if there is a new intraday high/low. Both stages would need to agree on a new high/low before the combined signal could add a ticker symbol to the results.

Code for Stage One

# use this to scan for new highs
plot scan = high > Highest(high[1], 4);
# use this to scan for new lows
#plot scan = low < Lowest(low[1], 4);

You will see we can only check for new high or new low, not both at the same time. Simply move the ‘#’ comment mark to switch between high and low.

Code for Stage Two

DailyLow = if beforeMidnight or afterMidnight then if low < DailyLow[1] then low else DailyLow[1] else low; hideChartBubbles = beforeMidnight or afterMidnight; }; def TodaysHigh = if okToPlot and hideChartBubbles then DailyHigh else Double.NaN; def TodaysLow = if okToPlot and hideChartBubbles then DailyLow else Double.NaN; #Alert(DailyHigh > DailyHigh[1] and hideChartBubbles, "New High", Alert.BAR, Sound.RING);
#Alert(DailyLow < DailyLow[1] and hideChartBubbles, "New Low", Alert.BAR, Sound.RING);
# use this to scan for new intraday highs
plot scan = DailyHigh > DailyHigh[1] and hideChartBubbles;
# use this to scan for new intraday lows
#plot scan = DailyLow < DailyLow[1] and hideChartBubbles;
