A belated addition to this discussion:

For those still interested... a script that snaps a line to a high or a low of any candle, for as many candles as you want. Colour of the line is different on a high or a low. A text value of the high/low is shown above/below the candle. The script is called PSR (previous support-resistance)

Just drag the script near to the high and/or low and release.
Drag the PSR_Remove file to remove all lines and texts.

Hope this helps.
