Highest High and Lowest Low of Previous N Days

[C4men]

I am just looking for two horizontal lines to appear on my 15min timeframe chart:

Line 1 - Finds the highest high of the previous five days (or X days) and plots it on my 15 min chart
Line 2 - Finds the lowest low of the previous five days (or X days) and plots it on my 15 min chart

For whatever reason, it does not seem to work no matter what I try and I am sure it is very simple.
Maybe something to do with a higher timeframe?

Any thoughts?

is this what you are thinking of ?

def na = Double.NaN;

def hi = highest(high(period = agg), days);
def lo = lowest(low(period = agg), days);

plot zhi = hi;
plot zlo = lo;


#

C 15min
5 day high and low lines

That's pretty close (and thank you).

The only thing is it looks like it is "counting" the current day high or low. I would always want it to start at "yesterday".
That way the line for today would represent the highest high (or lowest low) of the previous five days

oops , i missed the previous part

here is another version that has an offset, default set to 1

don't know if you are still around?
i came across this post and reread it a few times.
i think this is what you are after

goes back 1 day, then finds the high and low of the 5 days before
