Looking for the chart to plot the last candles H and C.

Hello! I am looking for a study that will plot the last candle high and close on the top left corner of the chart. Thank you very much. All of the replies are very much appreciated.
 
Solution
You can add a chart label to the upper left corner like this:
Perl:
AddLabel ( yes, "  Last Bar HIGH: " + HIGH + "   Last Bar CLOSE: " + CLOSE + "   ", color.cyan);

the docs for AddLabel are here:
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Look---Feel/AddLabel

The display string uses + to concatenate strings and values so that the output (label) has some nice notation to help you. you can change the colour as you see fit. I add spaces before and after the values so that the label has some padding and the numbers don't get cut off.

hope that gets you moving in the right direction,

Hello! Thank you for your reply.

The problem is that I don't know anything about coding at all. I did try to past the line of code that you provided, but it's showing the current candles H and C.
 
If you want the penultimate candle (I thought the most recent would have been the last candle), you can use bracket notation like this:
Perl:
AddLabel ( yes, "  Penultimate Bar HIGH: " + HIGH[1] + "   Penultimate Bar CLOSE: " + CLOSE[1] + "   ", color.cyan);

The bracket notation gives you values increasingly earlier in the series. so that [0] is the current bar (though you don't really need to use zero as it is the default value) and [1] is the bar immediately before the most recent. [10] would be ten bars ago, and [100] would be one-hundred. You can use negative values like [-1] to reference future bars, but even ToS can't predict the future and uses of future bars should be carefully scrutinized before use as they can lead to odd results and lots of repainting.

I just want you to know that you are amazing.

It works perfectly!

Thank you very much!
