Re: Yesterday's high & low on intraday data

["Adam Hefner" <vonhef@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try somthing like this:
 
   {New Day Count}
DW:= If(DayOfWeek<>ref(DayOfWeek(),-1),{then}1,{else}0);
   {Daily High}
DH:=If(DW=1,{then}ref(HighestSince(1,DW=1,H),-1),{else}0);
DH1=ValueWhen(DH<>0);
   {Daily Low}
DL:=If(DW=1,{then}Ref(LowestSince(1,DW=1,L),-1),{else}0);
DL1:=ValueWhen(DL<>0);
    {Indicator Plot}
DH1;
DL1;

Please check for syntax errors...since I dont have MetaStock Pro
to check for myself.
