I am trying to find some code that I can modify/adapt to automatically plot a line "x ticks/pts" below recent swing highs/above recent swing lows.

For example, swing high was at 100 and the retracement amount is say 4 then I want a line drawn/dots on the chart when/if the market reaches 96.

Ideally the line would only be a few bars to the left and right of the bar that hit the level i.e. I want the line to be clear and not just one dot ideally.

Look back period is x bars.

I found the swing indicator and it looks very close to what I want but I want the plot(dots) to be the swing high value - my value e.g. -3.

The code is fairly advanced for me.

Could someone please highlight the code in the Swing indicator that actually plots the dots and can I just subtract a value from it without stuffing up the rest of the code i.e. it still needs to detect new swing highs but when a new swing high is detected I want to plot the (new swing high - x).

The Word file has a screenshot of a chart with the Swing indicator applied.

I'm looking for the same modification to the swing indicator that your were in this post. I'd like to display the Dots + or Minus - ticks from the pivot. Could you tell me if you were successful in finding what you were looking for ?

as you can see it calculate the range of the pivot candle, so you can modify the candle range to a fix value you want.
you can find it here
