previous day's high and low, including extended-hour sessions (pre- and post)

Hello,

Can anyone please help me with a script to find the previous session's high and low, including extended-hour sessions (pre and post)? I would like to find it based on a 1-hour aggregation period. I have modified a previous code made by @SleepyZ and adjusted the open and close session to get the highest high of the previous day. I plotted it against the ticker DUO but it was not working. Please help

Thank you

Code:
input daysback = 1;

def ymd      = GetYYYYMMDD();
def candles  = !IsNaN(close);
def capture  = candles and ymd != ymd[1];
def dayCount = CompoundValue(1, if capture then dayCount[1] + 1 else dayCount[1], 0);
def thisDay  = (HighestAll(dayCount) - dayCount) ;

#Prior Day HLC RegularTradingHours
input rthbegin = 0100;
input rthend   = 2000;
def pastOpen   = If(secondsfromTime(rthbegin)[1]<0 and (SecondsTillTime(rthbegin) >= 0), 0, 1);
def pastClose  = If(secondsfromTime(rthend)[1]<0 and (SecondsTillTime(rthend) >= 0), 0, 1);
def marketOpen = If(pastOpen and !pastClose, 1, 0);
def date       = GetYYYYMMDD();
def c = close;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def o = open;

#Highest High during RTH from Previous Day Determined
def begin      = CompoundValue(1, if thisday==daysback
                                  then if SecondsFromTime(rthbegin) == 0

                                       else if h > begin[1] and marketOpen

                                       else begin[1]
                                  else 0, begin[1]);
def beginbn    = if GetDay() == GetLastDay()
                 then 0
                 else if getday()==getday()[1]

that code seems to work , but.... it is way overly complicated,

you need to learn to look at a chart and describe what you want to see. if you are asking questions, don't guess at how to do it. mentioning 1 hour aggregation is irrelevant and confusing and has no bearing on finding a high of a day. focus on just what you want.

since you want data from a previous day, you don't need aggregation. just use a simple comparison to find the highest.
this only works for stocks. if you pick futures, it won't work because their period spans over midnight.
(if you want that, search for session, to find studies that find high and low for asia and europe trading times (and change it).


Code:
#prev_day_hilo3

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

def d = getday();
def istoday = getday() == getlastday();

def hi = if istoday then hi[1] else if d != d[1] then high else max(hi[1], high);
def lo = if istoday then lo[1] else if d != d[1] then low else min(lo[1], low);

plot zhi = if istoday then hi else na;
plot zlo = if istoday then lo else na;

#plot y = hi;
#y.SetStyle(Curve.MEDIUM_DASH);

Thank you @halcyonguy . One question please, can it be modified such that it can do the same for any previous day (i.e., 1 day before, 2 days before etc). Thanks a bunch!
