AFL to mark periodic highest/lowest close on the chart

We are often required  to ascertain the highest/lowest value for a  a period and this AFL caters this need. We get highest/lowest price bars without actually straining our brain especially in a candlestick chart. One can change the period as per his requirement while 7 being the default value. Desired AFL is as follows: prd=Param("Period",7,5,5000,1); Hv=LastValue(HHV(C,prd));Lv=LastValue(LLV(C,prd)); t1=H*1.01;t2=L*.998; bi=BarIndex(); Lb=LastValue(bi); Hbi=LastValue(ValueWhen(C==Hv,bi)); ph=LastValue(ValueWhen(bi==Hbi,H))*1.01; Lbi=LastValue(ValueWhen(C==LV,bi)); PlotShapes(IIf(bi==hbi ,shapeHollowSquare,shapeNone),colorTurquoise,0,t1); PlotShapes(IIf(bi==lbi ,shapeHollowSquare,shapeNone),colorDarkYellow,0,t2); dch=LastValue(Va
