Hi Lo Broke Compared Previous Day For ThinkOrSwim

[Normie]

Looking for someone to input a column scan where a stock is above or below its previous day high/low

Found the below script in the thinkScript lounge. Hopefully it's what you're looking for.
Otherwise, read through this thread for more variations of High Low Breakouts:

#This custom column plots the high or low break compared to the previous day's. Green is a high break. Red is a low break. Pink is a hi and low break with the hi break amt shown.

I'm trying to make a watchlist column display things better....right now it is spitting out this...the red background shows how much the current price is below the previous bar on the daily....the green shows how much it is above the previous days price....the yellow is still an "inside bar" and I made that a calculation of the percentage inside the last bar....so for instance the first yellow "44.9" is 44.9% up the bar...meaning pretty much the current price on the day is sitting around 44.9 percent of the way up the bar....I wanted to change the text to make the yellow when its inside be different as it gets a bit confusing...but also wanted to add "%' next to it...or if there was a better way to display this i would be great too...

so I wanted to change the inside bar values to percentage and perhaps be able to change the colors of the values

def HiBroke = If (close > high[1] ,1,0);
def LoBroke = If (close  < low[1] ,1,0);
def BothBroke = If (HiBroke && LoBroke, 1,0);
def HiBrokeAmt = If HiBroke then (close - high[1] ) else double.nan;
def LoBrokeAmt = If LoBroke then (low[1] - close) else double.nan;
def inside = if (close < high [1] and close > low [1], 1,0);
def toptobottom = high[1] - low [1];
def insidevalue = close - low[1] ;
def insideper  = (round(((insidevalue/toptobottom)*100),1));


Addlabel(1,  if HiBroke && !LoBroke then round(HiBrokeAmt,2)
else if !HiBroke && LoBroke then round(LoBrokeAmt,2)
else  if HiBroke && LoBroke then  round(HiBrokeAmt,2)
else if inside then insideper
else 0, color.YELLOW);

AssignBackgroundColor(if HiBroke then color.Dark_green
else if LoBroke then color.Light_red
else if HiBroke && LoBroke then color.pink
else color.current);

@Nicksmo Try the following for the added "%"... It should work... I do concatenation all the time for labels...

Addlabel(1,  if HiBroke && !LoBroke then round(HiBrokeAmt,2) + "%"
else if !HiBroke && LoBroke then round(LoBrokeAmt,2) + "%"
else  if HiBroke && LoBroke then  round(HiBrokeAmt,2) + "%"
else if inside then insideper + "%"
else 0 + "%", color.YELLOW);

Hello - Does anyone know if it's possible to convert or add onto this code so that when the monthly high or low is broken ONLY on the day of... it is shown on that day? Currently it will show the breakout (above high or low at all times cause it is the month) but it would be better if it only indicated on the actual day of breakout imo. If anyone knows how to do this that would be helpful and appreciated. I added the code below and a pic of the code in TOS.

no , it is not possible
you are asking to read and retain data during a candle.
you would have to set the timeframe to day , to compare day data.

here is something to experiment with.
set chart to day
it compares the highs, of the current month. if there is a higher high, it draws an arrow.

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();
def mo = getmonth();
def lastmo = getlastmonth();
def islastmo = mo == lastmo;

def momax = if bn == 1 or isnan(close) then na
else if (islastmo and !islastmo[1]) then high
else max(high, momax[1]);

input show_higher_line = yes;
plot z2 = if show_higher_line then momax else na;
z2.SetDefaultColor(Color.magenta);

def ishigher = if bn == 1 or isnan(close) then 0
else if (islastmo and !islastmo[1]) then 0
else if momax > momax[1] then 1
else 0;

plot zhi = if ishigher then low*0.998 else na;
zhi.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
zhi.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
zhi.setlineweight(3);
zhi.hidebubble();
