is it possible to have a label showing highest high / lowest low candle of the last 7 bars?

something like this put a arrow on top or a label on top that it's highest high of last 7 bars, the arrow will be ideally removed after 7 bars for a recount.
same for lowest low

IMO - It's easier to do a label as it will be more difficult to remove the arrows and force you to look forward and backward. This will show a label for the highest highs and lows in the last 'x' bars:

input length = 7;
def HH = Highest(high,length);
def LL = Lowest(low,length);
AddLabel(yes,HH,Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddLabel(yes,LL,Color.LIGHT_RED);

Hopefully you can work with that to get exactly what you are looking for...

this will draw arrows on the highest and lowest bars, during the last 7 bars on a chart.
can change the quatity of bars. default is 7.
can draw horizontal lines at those levels.
can show labels of the high and low. (copied from tony code)
if 2+ bars have the same highest (or lowest) price, all will have an arrow.


Code:
# find_highest_of_last_x_bars_01

#https://usethinkscript.com/threads/is-it-possible-to-have-a-label-showing-highest-high-lowest-low-candle-of-the-last-7-bars.13603/
# show highest high / lowest low candle of the last 7 bars?


def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

input length = 7;
def x1 = (!isnan(close[-(length-1)]) and isnan(close[-(length+0)]));
def x_period = (!isnan(close) and isnan(close[-(length+0)]));

# if x bars till last bar, then look ahead to find the highest and lowest price
def hihi;
def lolo;
if x1 then {
  hihi = highest(high[-(length-1)], length);
  lolo = lowest(low[-(length-1)], length);
} else {
  hihi = hihi[1];
  lolo = lolo[1];
}

# draw arrows
def vert = 0.0005;
plot zhi = if high == hihi then (high*(1+vert)) else na;
zhi.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
zhi.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
zhi.setlineweight(2);
zhi.hidebubble();

plot zlo = if low == lolo then (low*(1-vert)) else na;
zlo.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
zlo.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
zlo.setlineweight(2);
zlo.hidebubble();

# draw lines
input show_hilo_lines = yes;
plot zhiline = if (show_hilo_lines and x_period) then hihi else na;
zhiline.SetDefaultColor(Color.gray);
zhiline.hidebubble();

plot zloline = if (show_hilo_lines and x_period) then lolo else na;
zloline.SetDefaultColor(Color.gray);
zloline.hidebubble();

input show_labels = yes;
AddLabel(show_labels, hihi, Color.LIGHT_GREEN);
AddLabel(show_labels, lolo, Color.LIGHT_RED);

#input show_vertical_line = no;
# addverticalline(show_vertical_line and x1, "-");
