A leading indicator that compares stocks hitting new highs and new lows within the stock market. The Chart below is of the Market Meltdown in January, 2016. It's hard to be Bearish on the Market as a whole when new highs are breaking out!

Is there a way to make a scanner that shows how many times a stock has made a new high on the day? Sure would be nice to look 30 min in and see a stock has made 20 new highs
 
New High New Low Indicator

Code:
declare upper;

input length      = 252;

def highestHigh   = fold highIdx = 1 to length with sHigh = high do if sHigh > GetValue( high, highIdx, length + 1 ) then sHigh else GetValue( high, highIdx, length + 1 );
plot NewHigh      = if highestHigh > highestHigh[1] then high else Double.NaN;

def lowestLow     = fold lowIdx = 1 to length with sLow = low do if sLow < GetValue( low, lowIdx, length + 1 ) then sLow else GetValue( low, lowIdx, length + 1 );
plot NewLow       = if lowestLow < lowestLow[1] then low else Double.NaN;

#===============================[ Look & Feel ]================================
NewHigh.SetPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN );
NewHigh.SetDefaultColor( Color.PLUM );
NewHigh.SetLineWeight( 3 );
NewLow.SetPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP );
NewLow.SetDefaultColor( Color.BLUE );
NewLow.SetLineWeight( 3 );

Could I add Russell2000 if so what would be the Rut input ?

Same question I have here. I love the indicator I have been using it for swing trades and to get a feel for market sentiment for the last couple months. Kept me out of this pull back using the Nasdaq as the input.
