I need Help plotting the HH Bar and LL Bar on a Tradingview chart

I am trying to create an indicator to plot swing points on the chart.

Basically after 3 bullish bars and 3 bearish bars I want the indicator to look back to the last 6 bars and plot a point figure on the highest bar to illustrate the Swing High and that after 3 bearish bars and 3 bullish bars the indicator must look back to the last 6 bars and plot a point figure on the lowest bar to illustrate the Swing low.

I use the heikin-ashi candles.

this is what I am doing:

SH = open[5] < close[5] and open[4] < close[4] and open[3] < close[3] and open[2] > close[2] and open[1] > close[1] and open[0] > close[0]    
SL = open[5] > close[5] and open[4] > close[4] and open[3] > close[3] and open[2] < close[2] and open[1] < close[1] and open[0] < close[0]

plotchar(SH, title='Swing High', char='•', location=location.abovebar, color=color.blue, offset = highestbars(6))    
plotchar(SL, title='Swing Low', char='•', location=location.belowbar, color=color.red, offset = lowestbars(6))

For some reason sometimes it does not plot the • on the correct bar. As it shows on the chart below the red or blue point should be where the arrow is pointing. Thanks in advance

plotchar() is no good for your application because your offset will be dynamic.

Use label instead.

//@version=4
study("My script", overlay=true, max_labels_count = 500)

SH = open[5] < close[5] and open[4] < close[4] and open[3] < close[3] and open[2] > close[2] and open[1] > close[1] and open[0] > close[0]    
SL = open[5] > close[5] and open[4] > close[4] and open[3] > close[3] and open[2] < close[2] and open[1] < close[1] and open[0] < close[0]

SH_offset = -highestbars(6)
SL_offset = -lowestbars(6)

if (SH)
    label.new(bar_index - SH_offset, high, "SH", yloc=yloc.abovebar, color=color.blue, style=label.style_none, textcolor=color.blue)

if (SL)
    label.new(bar_index - SL_offset, low, "SL", yloc=yloc.belowbar, color=color.red, style=label.style_none, textcolor=color.red)
