Overview
On the last bar it compares the current high with each of the previous lookback highs. A cell is bull-colored when the current high is above that past high and bear-colored otherwise. Transparency increases with the age of the compared bar. The lookback length and the two colors are the main settings. It does not generate trade signals or exits.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
