Dynamic Support and Resistance- Turning TOS script into tradovate script

Custom Indicators

Hello, I’ve been using this TOS script which helped me a lot with trading. I want to use this thinkorswim script in Tradovate, can someone help me convert the script into Tradovate? thanks in advance:

declare upper;

input LookbackPeriod = 5;
input HideCurrentTF = no;
input HideTimeFrame2 = no;
input HideTimeFrame3 = no;
input TimeFrame2 = {"15 MIN", "1 MIN", "2 MIN", "3 MIN", "4 MIN", "5 MIN", "10 MIN", "20 MIN", "30 MIN", "1 HOUR", "2 HOURS", "4 HOURS", DAY, "2 DAYS", "3 DAYS", "4 DAYS", default WEEK, MONTH, "OPT EXP"};
input TimeFrame3 = {"30 MIN", "1 MIN", "2 MIN", "3 MIN", "4 MIN", "5 MIN", "10 MIN", "15 MIN", "20 MIN", "1 HOUR", "2 HOURS", "4 HOURS", DAY, "2 DAYS", "3 DAYS", "4 DAYS", WEEK, default MONTH, "OPT EXP"};
input HideSwings = no;
input SwingsLagBar = 1;

Looked at this one, looks like it relies on finding the lows and highs on higher timeframes (other charts), something that Tradovate does not offer to us. I’d recommend something like a Price Channel for something close to this.
