Hello.

How can I output a bars-ago count in minutes for this red-to-green indicator:
 

XAVG((XAVG(STOC10, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10)), 5) > XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)), 5) AND XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)), 5) <= XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10)), 5)


I'd like to know "how many minutes (bars) ago" the above state change occured. I would end up using these in tables to sort these events by recency.

Thank you very much for taking a look.

Maybe put the entire thing in a SinceTrue() function in a 1-minute indicator formula?

SinceTrue(XAVG((XAVG(STOC10, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10, 5), 10)), 5) > XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)), 5) AND XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.1, 5), 10)), 5) <= XAVG((XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10)) / (MAX(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10) - MIN(XAVG(STOC10.1.2, 5), 10)), 5), 390)

To clarify, I use the formula above typically on Daily timeframes. However, I would like to calcuate in minutes (or some shorter timeframe) the bars elapsed since the signal. Thank you.

Our posts crossed each other. I think the solution is what I need. Thanks so much, Bruce. Hope all's well.

That is going to be the formula calculated in a 1-minute time frame and the bars since it was true in a 1-minute time frame.

There really isn't a way to mix time frames to check for how many minutes ago the formula started being true or was most recently true in a daily time frame.
