Long and Short Term Highs and LowsLong and Short Term Highs and Lows
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price points by marking new highs and lows over two distinct timeframes—a long-term and a short-term period. It achieves this by drawing optional channel lines that outline the highest highs and lowest lows over the chosen time periods and by plotting visual markers (triangles) on the chart when a new high or low is detected.
Key Features:
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
Long Term: Uses a user-defined “Time Period” (default 52) and “Time Unit” (default: Weekly) to determine long-term high and low levels.
Short Term: Uses a separate “Time Period” (default 50) and “Time Unit” (default: Daily) to compute short-term high and low levels.
Optional Channel Display:
For both long and short term periods, you have the option to display a channel by plotting the highest and lowest values as lines. This visual channel helps to delineate the range within which the price has traded over the selected period.
New High/Low Markers:
The indicator identifies moments when the highest high or lowest low is updated relative to the previous bar.
When a new high is established, an up triangle is plotted above the bar.
Conversely, when a new low occurs, a down triangle is plotted below the bar.
Separate input toggles allow you to enable or disable these markers independently for the long-term and short-term setups.
Inputs and Settings:
Long Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low? (STW): Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the long-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used to calculate the highest high and lowest low (default is 52).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the long-term calculation is based (default is Weekly).
Show Channel? (SCW): Toggle to display the channel lines that connect the long-term high and low levels.
Short Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low?: Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the short-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used for calculating the short-term extremes (default is 50).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the short-term calculations are based (default is Daily).
Show Channel?: Toggle to display the channel lines for the short-term highs and lows.
Indicator Logic:
Channel Calculation:
The script uses the request.security function to pull data from the specified timeframes. For each timeframe:
It calculates the lowest low over the defined period using ta.lowest.
It calculates the highest high over the defined period using ta.highest.
These values can be optionally plotted as channel lines when the “Show Channel?” option is enabled.
New High/Low Detection:
For each timeframe, the indicator compares the current high (or low) with its immediate previous value:
New High: When the current high exceeds the previous bar’s high, an up triangle is drawn above the bar.
New Low: When the current low falls below the previous bar’s low, a down triangle is drawn below the bar.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Identification:
When new highs (or lows) occur, they can signal the start of a strong upward (or downward) movement. The indicator helps you visually track these critical turning points over both longer and shorter periods.
Channel Breakouts:
The optional channel display offers additional context. Price movement beyond these channels may indicate a breakout or a significant shift in trend.
Customizable Timeframes:
You can adjust both the time period and time unit to fit your trading style—whether you’re focusing on longer-term trends or short-term price action.
Conclusion:
This indicator provides a dual-layer analysis by combining long-term and short-term perspectives, making it a versatile tool for identifying key highs and lows. Whether you are looking to confirm trend strength or spot potential breakouts, the “Long and Short Term Highs and Lows” indicator adds a valuable visual element to your PulseWire charts. Indicator

Performance IndicatorsDescription:
The Performance Indicators tool provides traders with a comprehensive overview of both fundamental and technical performance metrics of a security. This dual approach helps traders make informed decisions by evaluating the security's intrinsic value as well as its market behavior.
Fundamental Performance Indicators:
EPS Year Over Year % Growth : Measures the percentage growth in earnings per share (EPS) compared to the same quarter in the previous year. This helps in understanding the company's profitability trends.
EPS 3 Quarters Year Over Year % Growth : Analyzes the percentage growth in EPS over the last three quarters compared to the same quarters in the previous year, providing insight into the company's recent earnings performance.
Sales Year Over Year % Growth : Tracks the percentage growth in sales compared to the same quarter in the previous year, offering a view of the company's revenue trends.
Sales 3 Quarters Year Over Year % Growth : Evaluates the percentage growth in sales over the last three quarters compared to the same quarters in the previous year, helping to assess the company's recent revenue performance.
Return On Equity (ROE) : Measures the company's profitability by comparing net income to shareholder equity. This indicates how effectively the company is using its equity base to generate profits.
Market Capitalization : Represents the total market value of the company's outstanding shares, providing a sense of the company's size and market presence.
Float Shares Outstanding : Refers to the number of shares available for trading by the public, excluding restricted shares. This metric helps in understanding the liquidity and volatility of the stock.
Technical Performance Indicators:
Average Daily Range (ADR) %: Calculates the average range between the high and low prices over a specific period, expressed as a percentage. This helps in understanding the stock's daily volatility.
Average True Range (ATR) $ : Measures market volatility by calculating the average range between the high and low prices, taking into account any gaps in the price. It is expressed in dollar terms.
% Off 52-Week High : Indicates how far the current price is from the highest price achieved over the last 52 weeks, helping to assess the stock's current performance relative to its yearly peak.
Relative Price Strength (RPS) : Compares the stock's price performance to a benchmark index, helping to identify how the stock is performing relative to the broader market.
How it Works:
The fundamental performance indicators provide insights into the company's financial health and growth trends by analyzing key metrics such as EPS, sales growth, ROE, market capitalization, and float shares outstanding.
The technical performance indicators offer a view of the stock's market behavior and volatility through metrics like ADR, ATR, % off 52-week high, and RPS.
By combining these fundamental and technical metrics, traders can gain a well-rounded perspective on the security's overall performance.
How to Use:
Add the Performance Indicators tool to your chart.
Evaluate the fundamental indicators to assess the company's financial health and growth trends.
Analyze the technical indicators to understand the stock's market behavior and volatility.
Use the combined insights from both fundamental and technical indicators to make informed trading decisions.
This tool is particularly useful for traders who want to integrate both fundamental analysis and technical analysis into their trading strategy, providing a holistic view of a security's performance.

X Period High/Low/MidToday we have a simple, but endlessly versatile, indicator that plots the X Period High/Low/Mid of your chosen market.
Traditionally the 52 week High/Low is used as a breakout signal. However, by changing to an X period, and adding a midway line, we create a more versatile indicator that can be tailored to various markets.
By default it's set at 250 periods (because I like the 250 period moving average), and I generally trade H4 and Daily time frames. But tweak it to your liking, you just have to modify the length periods by your desired time frame and lookback length. E.g. to create a 52 week indicator on the daily time frame, enter a length of 260 in the indicator (5 days per week * 52 weeks = 260).
For the above reason, I haven't made this indicator MTF, as there's no real need. However, if users find it easier I can look at adding it later.
Also, the mid point between an X period high/low is often a good trend-follower, as well as acting as support/resistance . I encourage you to experiment with different ways of using this indicator. Entire systems (if your risk management is correct) can be built and traded from this one indicator.
Good luck.
