It's an "MTF" indicator so it can look for breakouts of X bars from different timeframes as well (for example 5 min candle breakouts 20 day range).

Parameters:
Count is a bar range for example 20 means high/low of 20 last bars
Period is a period ie. 60 means 60 min, 1440 D1 and so on

When a breakout occurs (a price goes under period of X days high/low) at some bar at some moment, it paints the bar green (breakout up) or red (breakout down).

Screenshot and indicator attached, enjoy!
