And what would you have? How would you use it? you buy at 15, the next days
high is 15.13, do you exit? it is highest value since entry.

I am afraid you are stuck with periods, but think about it, you don't know
if it is highest value since entry unless you set periods. This is like
those buy on open without delay or using optimization for trading, it would
be a situation of who is fooling who.
