How to display Yearly High and Low lines

New comment
 
I've searched the forums and can't find this particular indicator or code.

I have displayed on my charts the following lines:

Yesterday's highest High and lowest Low.

This week's and last week's highest High and lowest Low.

This month's and last month's highest High and lowest Low.

What I can't figure out is how to display lines showing this year's and last year's highest High and lowest Low.

I don't mean the previous 12 months, I mean the whole year from January to December (for last year) and January to the current month (for the current year).

I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't seem to do it.

Does anyone have an indicator to display this, or can show me the code so I can write it myself?

TIA for your help.
 
Here is yesterday's highest High and lowest Low sample.
double high = iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);
double low = iLow(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);
 
Thanks for your help.

Here is yesterday's highest High and lowest Low sample.
double high = iHigh(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);
double low = iLow(NULL, PERIOD_D1, 1);


 
hey in2blues,

i've read your post and decided to do a 5 minutes generic "hi low" script that you can run on any chart on any period, using a "from" and "to" dates. here it is, enjoy:

Thanks so much. I appreciate your help.
