Help with painting on previous candles.

[hinkognito]

Hello all,

Here is a simple script for finding a high or low based on certain criteria. There are two iterations: one with 2 candles and one with 3 candles.
How can I get it to paint on the first candle?

Thanks!


plot ch1 = if close[1]>open[1] and close<open and close<low[1] then high else double.nan;
plot ch2 = if close[2]>open[2] and close[1]<open[1] and close<low[1] then high else double.nan;


plot cl1 = if close[1]<open[1] and close>open and close>low[1] then low else double.nan;
plot cl2 = if close[2]<open[2] and close[1]>open[1] and close>low[1] then low else double.nan;

The plots of the dots and count can be hidden. The dots denote ch1/ch2 and cl1/cl2. There are 2 scripts for clarity, with one for the highs and the other the lows.

The logic currently starts the count for lows at cll and continues the count if cl1 or cl2 are true until cl1 and cl2 are not true. The count logic is similar for the highs.

A yellow arrow will appear for a count of 2 consecutive and the yellow arrow created at the 2 count will be replaced with a magenta arrow for 3 consecutive count of the highs/lows.

Thank you for the help. Appreciate you taking the time!
Will give this a shot.
