High-Low Index

Hello All,

High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent (RHP). RHP is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows. RHP => 100 * (new highs) / (new highs + new lows). High-Low Index is a 10-day Simple Moving Average of the RHP, which makes it a smoothed version of RHP. You can find many articles about High-Low Index on the net.

High-Low Index above 50 indicates that there are more new highs than new lows, and considered as Bullish.
High-Low Index below 50 indicates that there are more new lows than new highs, and considered as Bearish.
High-Low Index = 0 indicates there is no new highs (0% new highs).
High-Low Index = 100 indicates that there is at least 1 new high and no new lows.
and High-Low Index = 50 indicates that new highs and new lows is equal.

by default 40 cryptos are used in the script and shows High-Low Index for these cryptos. but you can change them as you wish. for example you can set all of them as stocks and see High-Low Index for these stocks.

You can set "Time frame" and the "Length" using the options. For example; if you set "Time frame" = 1 Week and the "Length" = 52 then it finds High-Low Index for 52weeks.
or another example; if you set "Time frame" = 1 Day and the "Length" = 22 the High-Low Indexn it finds High-Low Index for 22days.
You can enable/disable Record High Percent or Simple Moving Average of High-Low Index. Some traders use High-Low Index with its SMA, for example; High-Low Index generates a buy signal when it crosses above its moving average, and a sell signal when it crosses below its moving average.

Optionally you can see the securities in a table on the left bottom, you can change table size by usşng the options.
In the Table, for each security/cell;

As you can see in the screenshot below, the securities were changed and stocks are used instead of cryptos, so it calculates & shows High-Low Index for these stocks.
