Higher High, Low Low Indicator

[Infb11]

Can someone help me create an indicator that places the following on a candle or bar: HH, HL, LH, LL based on the price action?

Top of candle/bar
HH- Higher high than previous candle
HL - Higher low of the previous candle

Bottom of Candle
LH - Lower high of the previous candle
LL - Lower low of the previous candle

Bottom of Candle

LL - Lower low of the previous candle

this will draw bubbles based on if the current bar has a HH, HL, LL, LH
the default is to look back 1 bar and compare. when at 1, there are alot of bubbles.

can change the quantity of bars to look back,
input bars_back = 1
try changing it to 3 or 6 or... then it will find fewer.

# higher_hi_lower_lo_bubbles00

# above candle
#HH - Higher high than previous candle
#HL - Higher low of the previous candle

# below candle
#LH - Lower high of the previous candle
#LL - Lower low of the previous candle

input bars_back = 1;
addlabel(1, "compare to " + bars_back + " bars back", color.yellow);

def hh2 = highest(high[1], bars_back);
def hl2 = highest(low[1], bars_back);
def ll2 = lowest(low[1], bars_back);
def lh2 = lowest(high[1], bars_back);

def hh = if high > hh2 then 1 else 0;
def hl = if low > hl2 then 1 else 0;
def ll = if low < ll2 then 1 else 0;
def lh = if high < lh2 then 1 else 0;

def vert = 0.002;
addchartbubble( hh, high*(1+vert), "HH", color.green  ,yes);
addchartbubble( hl, high*(1+vert), "HL", color.light_green , yes);
addchartbubble( ll, low*(1-vert), "LL", color.red, no);
addchartbubble( lh, low*(1-vert), "LH", color.light_red, no);
#

bars back = 1 , many bubbles

bars back = 6 , fewer bubbles

Thanks, is it possible to have just text instead of bubbles, similar to the strat numbers?

no. addchartbubbles are the only way to place text on a chart.
plots using SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_ABOVE) can only be numbers.

Would it be possible for this to lines drawn at the HH and LL and only for like the last 3 or 4 HH and LL
