Displaying Daily High and Low Levels on Intraday Charts

Summary

This brief indicator description explains how to display each day's highest and lowest prices as two lines on charts with an intraday timeframe. It is intended as a basic example of retrieving bar times, highs, and lows and working with date-time fields in the platform's scripting environment.

The indicator is limited to timeframes shorter than daily, with examples ranging from four-hour to thirty-minute charts. The description does not specify how the lines are styled, whether they update during the session, or how missing or partial data are handled. It presents an implementation concept rather than a trading strategy and supplies no tests or evidence of predictive value.

Key ideas

• The indicator plots the current day's high and low as separate chart lines.
• It uses time, high, and low series together with date-time structure handling.
• It is designed for intraday charts below the daily timeframe.
• The description provides no trading signal evaluation or performance evidence.
