GT - Recent High/Low█ OVERVIEW
This indicator will help traders identify the recent high and low of the current trend so we know where we are in the trend. If recent high/low broken it could be that the trend is changing. This indicator is based on price action.
█ HOW IT WORKS
Basically, a trend is when the prices move up and down in a stair-step fashion. In an uptrend, The indicator keeps track of the up and down movement and remember the last high and once the price pull back and broke the recent high it will mark out the new high. When prices pull back in and uptrend it must not broken the recent low. If the pull back move broke the recent low it could means that the trend is changing and we could see prices start going down. Downtrend is the reverse of uptrend.
Whenever the price broke the recent high or low the script will go back from the candle that broken the previous high to find the recent low. As long as the high of previous candle is lower than each other consecutively backward, all of those candle will be counted as part of the up move. The lowest low of these candles will be counted as the recent low. If one of the candles that are part of the up move is an inside bar then the recent low is the low of that inside bar candle (for downtrend it will be the high). Inside bar candle is a candle that it's high and low are both inside the high and low of the candle preceding it (to its left).

█ HOW DOES IT HELP YOU
Moving the recent high and low every time a candle break out is a very tedious job. Plus, you cannot set an automatic alert system whenever price broke a recent high or low. This indicator allow you to create an alert whenever a recent high or low is broken.
You can use this indicator as a trailing stop loss strategy. Move the stop loss of your long position to the recent low level whenever price broke recent high or move the stop loss of your short position to the recent high level whenever price broke recent low.
The bullet line is the minor recent high or low before the prices broke the major recent high/low. This line could be the level where prices touch before continue with the trend.
█ TRADING IDEAS
Based on how a candle broke the recent high or low, if it breaks impulsively you can develop your strategy to trade the pullback and hoping on the trend before it continue to move up or down.

█ NOTES
- I am very new to pine script. So there could be a way to handle the alert in realtime to not fire multiple time, Once I found a way I will update the indicator. However, redrawing in realtime will definitely cause repainting of high/low or bullet line, as far as I know this cannot be fixed because it is how pine script compiler works.
