High/Low between today and X days ago

I'm looking for horizontal lines for the high/low between today and X days ago. I was able to get the high/low from X days ago, but how should I modify this to include highs and lows from the period between X and today? In this example I'm looking back 3 days. I have the high/low from the 3rd day.

Ruby:
def daysback = 3;
plot near_high = HighestAll(if IsNaN(high[-1]) and !IsNaN(high)
then high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[daysback]
else Double.NaN);
near_high.SetDefaultColor(color.GREEN);


plot near_low = LowestAll(if IsNaN(low[-1]) and !IsNaN(low)
then low(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[daysback]
else Double.NaN);
near_low.SetDefaultColor(color.RED);

Ideally I want it to look something like this

this draws horizontal lines, for the day high and day low, for the current day and the previous x days

Code:
#horz_day_hilo
#High/Low between today and X days ago

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

input daysback = 3;
def agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def dayhi;
def daylo;
if bn == 1 then {
 dayhi = 0;
 daylo = 0;
} else if (!isnan(close(period = agg)) and isnan(close(period = agg)[-(daysback+1)])) then {
 dayhi = high(period = agg);
 daylo = low(period = agg);
} else {
 dayhi = 0;
 daylo = 0;
}

plot z1 = if dayhi > 0 then dayhi else na;
z1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
z1.SetDefaultColor(Color.light_gray);

plot z2 = if daylo > 0 then daylo else na;
z2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
z2.SetDefaultColor(Color.light_gray);
