### **📈 How It Works** - **Daily Highs & Lows:** Captures the **highest and lowest prices** within the selected lookback period (default: **14 bars**). - **Weekly Highs & Lows:** Marks the **highest and lowest prices** within the chosen weekly lookback (default: **52 bars**). - **Monthly Highs & Lows:** Displays the **high and low points** from the monthly timeframe (default: **36 bars**). - **Extended Lines:** Project past highs and lows **into the future** to help identify **potential support & resistance zones**.

### **⚠️ TradingView Lookback Limitations** 🔹 **TradingView has a limit on how many historical bars can be accessed per timeframe**, which affects how far back the indicator can retrieve data. 🔹 **Intraday charts (e.g., 5m, 15m) have a limited number of past bars**, meaning: - **You won’t be able to view 36 months' worth of monthly levels** on a **5-minute chart**, because TradingView doesn’t store that much data in lower timeframes. - **If multiple timeframes (e.g., weekly + monthly) are enabled at the same time**, some historical data may **not be available on shorter timeframes**.
🔹 **Recommendation:** - If using **monthly lookbacks (36 months+), view them on a daily or higher timeframe**. - If using **weekly lookbacks (52 weeks+), higher intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour) are better suited**. - **Lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) may miss some levels** if TradingView's bar limit is exceeded.
