Why not try something like this?

Range=H-L;
WR4=RANGE >=HHV(RANGE,4);

Now plot this and see.

Cheers,Padhu

  Hi, 

  I am fighting with the usage of plotshapes. 

  My goal is to highlight widerange bars (WR4) on a chart. WR4 is true if 1 and 
not true if -1. The formula seems to calculate everything correctly as cross 
checked within exploration and addcolumns. However, when trying to plot this 
with the plotshapes command on top of the bar, it will change the WR4 value to 
1 and plot it on every single bar. I got 2 version of the plotshape command in 
there for you to look at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  // WR4 show me // 

  D1 = H-L; 
  D2 = Ref(H,-1)-Ref(L,-1); 
  D3 = Ref(H,-2)-Ref(L,-2); 
  D4 = Ref(H,-3)-Ref(L,-3); 

  WR4 = 0; 

  WR4 = IIf(D1 > (D2 OR D3 OR D4),1,-1); 

  //IIf (WR4 = 1,(PlotShapes( shapeSmallSquare, colorYellow, 0, H * 1.03 
)),PlotShapes(shapeNone,colorGreen)); 
  //PlotShapes( IIf( WR4 > 0, shapeSmallSquare, shapeNone ), colorYellow, 0, H 
* 1.03); 

  Filter = WR4; 

  AddColumn( D1, "D1", 1.4 ); 
  AddColumn( D2, "D2", 1.4 ); 
  AddColumn( D3, "D3", 1.4 ); 
  AddColumn( D4, "D4", 1.4 ); 
  AddColumn( WR4, "WR4", 1.4 );
