In it's simplest form:

plot mthHi = High(period = aggregationPeriod.MONTH)[1];
plot mthLo = Low(period = "MONTH")[1]; #variation on the period definition

mthHi.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
mthHi.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
mthLo.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
mthLo.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

The code above will plot the Highs and lows of every months.

Or you could use ToS DailyHighLow prebuilt study and change the period from DAY to MONTH in the settings. The prebuilt study has more functioinality.

Thanks for posting this code for monthly highs and lows. I am looking for a way to plot two horizontal lines for each calendar month's highest open and lowest open. I couldn't figure out how to modify your code for that purpose. Could you show me the code here? It is highly appreciated.
I just guess maybe add the type of data there? Thank you!

plot mthHi = High(period = aggregationPeriod.MONTH)[1];

Hi
Thanks for the code. It works perfect.
It plots high/low of every past month. is it possible to plot only for the previous month?
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been very active on this forum. In case you still need it, here's the code you are looking for:

input aggPeriod = aggregationPeriod.MONTH;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes; # TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2011-2023
input offset = 0;

plot mthHi;
plot mthLo;

mthHi.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
mthHi.SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
mthLo.SetPaintingStrategy (PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
mthLo.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2011-2023
if showOnlyLastPeriod and !IsNaN(close(period = aggPeriod)[-1]) {
mthHi = Double.NaN;
mthLo = Double.NaN;
} else {
mthHi = high(period = aggPeriod)[offset];
mthLo = low(period = aggPeriod)[offset];
}
# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2011-2023

Please note that some of this code was created by TD as noted

Hello kele4957

I apologize for the delayed response. I haven't been on this site for some time.

If you still need the code modifications, I will gladly investigate how to do it. I don't have an answer for you at this time, unfortunately.

It looks like we're losing access to ThinkOrSwin in Canada starting February 2024, so I will not likely be able to provide any more help with ToS... sorry.
