Highest High Calculation: The indicator calculates the highest high by comparing the current high with the previously recorded highest high. If a new high is found, the highest high is updated. The lowest low is set to the highest high.
Lowest Low Calculation: The indicator calculates the lowest low based on the current low. If a new low is found, the lowest low is updated, and the highest after the low is set to the lowest low.
Checking for Highest After Low: If the current high exceeds the highest after the low, the highest after the low is updated.
Plotting: The indicator plots the highest high, highest after low, and lowest high on the chart. Additionally, it displays emoji symbols on the chart based on specific conditions, such as the highest high and the relationship between the high and the open/close prices.
