I am currently stuck in pine script, trying to get the highest high and lowest low of specific timeframe, lets say 0000 to 0400 , of the current day

pdh = security(tickerid, 'D', high)
pdl = security(tickerid, 'D', low)

This here gets us the highest high and lowest low of this current day. Note this is with pine script V4.

Need more info. You have intraday bar on the chart (like 1-min) and you want to get max/min of 4 first bars in a day? I can't get why you request daily resolution via security. - Michel_T.
So it would be in the hourly timeframe, but the first 4 bars of the day according to my timezone UTC-5, and yeah i need to get those lines on the hourly timeframe but see them even when i switch timeframes thats why i used security - Shyzu
Maybe I'm missing something, but why is your timezone is important? Usually it's about symbol's session first bars. Or you want something different, like for example a symbol is traded 1700-1700 in London time, but you want get the values first 4 bars in your timezone, so it'd be 0000-0400 (or maybe 1700-2100?) in your timezone? - Michel_T.
yeah it would be 0000-0400 in my timezone , or 0600-1000 on london's time, yeah the goal is to be able to target certain candles by time , or high and low according to time - Shyzu
gave an answer below. It's only for highest, but I think you'll managed to implement lowest. - Michel_T.

//@version=4
study("Highest of first 4 bars in timezone GMT-5, different from tz of symbol")
t = timestamp("GMT-5", year, month, dayofmonth, hour, minute, second)
highest = -1.0

if hour(t) > 4
    highest := nz(highest[1], -1)
else
    for i = 0 to 1000
        if na(t[i]) or hour(t[i]) > 4
            break
        highest := max(highest, high[i])

plot(highest)

I think it should be looking similar to the code above. Maybe it works not exactly as I expect (I didn't debug nor test it), but I suppose that it'll be enough to implement required features by your own.
