Repaints AGAIG HighLow-PeaksValleys For ThinkOrSwim

Repaints

This indicator combines my HighLow Indicator with Robert Paynes Modified Peaks Valleys Indicator. What we are looking for is an arrow within an arrow that is dual colored White/Red or White/Green. I only place trades when both arrows show within each other...as a rule I don't trade the individual Red/Green arrows by themselves unless my AsGoodAsItGets_ArrowsOnly is also indicating direction change as well. This indicator does repaint so use it in conjunction with others as well. I have included a picture.
