Mapping Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Half-Year Price Extremes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The indicator links successive highs and lows from multiple timeframes with trend lines, while also plotting the high and low levels themselves. It is intended to help users see both important price levels and the prevailing direction of movement on charts above the four-hour timeframe. The displayed periods include daily, weekly, monthly, and half-year extremes, with different colors used to distinguish them.

This is a visual technical-analysis aid for identifying higher-timeframe structure and potential areas of interest. The description does not define how swing highs and lows are selected, whether lines update as new data arrives, or how traders should act when price reaches a plotted level. It also supplies no historical test, worked example, or evidence of predictive accuracy, so the plotted direction and levels should be treated as chart context rather than validated signals.

Key ideas

  • The indicator connects successive highs and lows using trend lines.
  • It plots the high and low levels as well as the connecting lines.
  • Daily, weekly, monthly, and half-year periods are distinguished on the chart.
  • The stated use is to visualize key levels and direction on timeframes above four hours.
  • The description gives no trading rules or performance evidence.
