help with EL code

Someone was kind enough to share the following code that plots a down
trendline on a RSI oscillator.

Could someone help me with the lines of code that would convert this to a
Showme or Paintbar that plotted a dot on the high where

the osc crosses from below the trendline to above it.   I know it is
something along the lines of:

If osc[1] < trendline[1] and osc > trendline then
  Plot2(high, "crossover");

However, I'm having difficulty defining "trendline" based on the code below.

Any help would be appreciated.

{DownTrend Line for Oscillator

Notes:
1- the indicator is plotted in the same graph as the RSI oscillator
2- the scaling for this indicator is "User Defined"  Max 100 and Min 0
3- indicator Style is "line"}

INPUTS:
OSC(RSI(close,14)), STRENGTH(2), OCCUR(1), LENGTH(100);

VARIABLES:
JLA_LINE(0), W(0), CTR(0), H1(0), H2(0), H1BAR(0), H2BAR(0), SLOPE(0);

{XXXXXXXXX   DETERMINE  POINTS 1 AND 2   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}

   H1BAR = SWINGHIGHBAR(OCCUR,OSC,STRENGTH, LENGTH);
   H1 = OSC[H1BAR];
   H2BAR = 0;
   H2 = 0;
   CTR = OCCUR + 1;
   WHILE H2 < H1 AND H2BAR <= LENGTH AND H2BAR <> -1
   BEGIN
      H2BAR = SWINGHIGHBAR(CTR,OSC,STRENGTH,LENGTH);
      H2 = OSC[H2BAR];
      CTR = CTR + 1;
   END;

   IF H2BAR <> -1 THEN
   BEGIN

       SLOPE =  (H2 - H1) / (H1BAR - H2BAR);
       CTR = H1BAR - STRENGTH;
        JLA_LINE = 99999;
       FOR W = H2BAR DOWNTO 0
       BEGIN

    PLOT1[W](H2 + (H2BAR - W) * SLOPE,"DOWNTREND");

       END;

END;  {NO POINT 2}
