The stochastic indicator is in reference to the last N period low. I want to create another one to reference to the last N period high. I tried to modify the existing stochastic code. Cannot get it work. Can anyone help me to get it right? Many thanks!

Please ignore the above request. I found a much simpler roundabout. It's just 100-stochastic
