[amibroker] Re: How to add Plot Shapes at previous 52 week highs?

Thanks Terry,

I see how to add a plot shape to the current 52 week high and that
would show up as arrows on a scan anyway.  I want to see a plot shape
on a 52 week high that may have happened 5 weeks ago for example. 
That way I could skim a watchlist and see stocks that had pulled back
from 52 week highs and started to turn back up without having to
resort to a scan.  Something tells me I would have to do a loop with a
lookback period set to the time frame I wanted to look back.  I'm not
sure how to code the loop if that is required.

Thanks,

Mo.
