your description is confusing, so i guessed, that you want to count new highs and new lows, during a day.

here is a lower to experiment with.
it counts new highs and new lows during a day and displays them in a label.
if high count is > low count, then green. else red.
i think it will work in a column

# cnt_highslowsofday

declare lower;

def bn = BarNumber();
def na = Double.NaN;

# open/close times  (EST)
input start = 0930;
input end = 1600;
def dayopen = if secondstillTime(start) == 0 then 1 else 0;
def daytime = if secondsfromTime(start) >= 0 and secondstillTime(end) > 0 then 1 else 0;

def hicnt = if dayopen then 0
 else if !daytime then 0
 else if high > high[1] then hicnt[1] + 1
 else hicnt[1];

def locnt = if dayopen then 0
 else if !daytime then 0
 else if low < low[1] then locnt[1] + 1
 else locnt[1];

def ishi = if hicnt > locnt then 1 else 0;

addlabel(1, locnt + " Lo / " + hicnt + " Hi" , (if ishi then color.green else color.red));
