This is an indicator which simply displays the previous weekdays high and low as horizontal lines, the length of which is input by the user. The indicator is working about 90%. Sometimes when I switch from one timeframe to another a "shadow" horizontal line appears to the left of the correct indicator which is aligned on the right hand side of the chart. In the main, this seems to happen when switching to a lower timeframe for the 1st time.
