This is code for an Indicator (not a function) that will plot the highest high and lowest low since the date specified as an input. Set this so that Plot1 and Plot2 plot as points (not lines). (Not tested but should be about right.)

Input: nDate(990901);

Vars: HHigh(-99999), LLow(99999);

if Date >= nDate then begin
   HHigh = iff(High > HHigh, High, HHigh);
   LLow  = iff(Low  < LLow,  Low,  LLow);
   Plot1(HHigh, "HHigh");
   Plot2(LLow,  "LLow");
end
