Maximum and minimum

Hi all. Someone could help me, since I do not have the necessary knowledge. I need to make a script that places an vertical line (red) on the chart, when the price is 2% lower than the maximum price registered in the last 5 days. Also, place an vertical line (green) when the price is 2% higher than the minimum registered in the last 5 days. I appreciate your help.-

here is my guess on what you are asking for


find when price crosses a high % level or a low % level, and draw a vertical line.

find the highest and lowest price, over the last 5 days
calc the range , highest - lowest
base the % price levels on a % of the range, combined with the lowest and the highest.
look for price crossing the % levels
