Nice code Joe!

I can be used nicely for stocks with high "roller" potential. Thanks 
for posting it!!

Shift: in the code starts the time frame as low as 1 = yesterday, 
etc. the period covered in the "Shift Period" has the candles shaded 
in blue.

Lookback:  22 is used for 1 month of trading (22 days per month on 
average)

Right click on the indicator when pasted into a frame- then move the 
parameters of Lookback and Shift and you will see the changes.

Joe, Can you share any of your "Turtle" formulas?  

Thanks again for sharing this code!
Brian
