Script to Scanner help, please

[predictably-irrational]

plot entry = if(close crosses above (lowestAll(low) + (ATR() *.7)), low, double.nan);
entry.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_UP);
plot exit = if((close crosses below highestAll(high) - (ATR() * .7)), high, double.nan);
exit.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_DOWN);

I don't know how to code and have been trying to make this code into a scanner. This code is basically saying give me the highest high and lowest low on the chart and tell me when price pulls back the other way from it.

I want two scanners really unless we can make it into one with setting adjustments? One that will give me the highest high and one for the lowest low. I tried to just add it to the scan script and added "within 10 bars" but I didn't get any results. And I know there are results just by manually going through stocks and seeing there are.

Like I said I am really bad at coding so if this can be done and send me back a shareable link please? I have been trying for days but I have come to the point where I need to ask for help.

What you have is perfect. Just add the scan the way I put it.

plot entry = if(close crosses above (lowestAll(low) + (ATR() *.7)), low, double.nan);
entry.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_UP);
plot exit = if((close crosses below highestAll(high) - (ATR() * .7)), high, double.nan);
exit.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_DOWN);

plot Scan = (Entry or Exit);
     Scan.SetHiding();

For : Bull Custom Script Scan Query.

<YourScriptName>().Entry is true within 5 bars

For: Bear Custom Script Scan Query.

<YourScriptName>t().Exit is true within 5 bars

This worked! Dude, I kept coming back to this and trying to figure it out and you helped me within minutes. I also learned how to create a scanner for anything else in the future! You're the man!

<YourScriptName>t().Exit is true within 5 bars

Wait, the within 5 bars function isn't working. It's showing results for every stock with an up or down arrow? Is that because the code is wrong?

Post you scan query setup and results. Screenshots, but that is what your condition, and your timeframe what you are using is.

Do you think something is wrong with the script?

the code is there https://ibb.co/wYwWKcZ

when i tried to do it manually i got all red highlights so i added the indicator and selected "entry" and if true

Should I add something?

@ApeX Predator I attached you to a code I would like to see if it's possible to scan, tried multiple scenarios but none yielded any results. Haven't tried the true statement yet though but I will just to check it off if it doesn't work. Was thinking I needed an entire script just to get it done but I'm unsure. Can you advise?

Does this repaint ?

For all that is asking question, This is not my code or my method. It's simply a solution provided to the question asked. Copy the while Script from comment #2, save it with a name. Ex: ATRSomething_Scan

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/script-to-scanner-help-please.11851/post-102169

for scanner queries refer back the the same comment, Remove other filters or select appropriate values you desire, As for the ATR entry/Exits, add a new filter as Study "Custom", click thinkscript editor Tab, and past the appropriate query.

You could adjust the within bars per choice 5 is only an example.

Also, Please don't run the scanner on the whole market, you are better off selecting your own Watch list or S&P500, another watchlist that has limited instruments.
