Is there an easy way to calculate an indicator for "days since PVT moving up quickly" has triggered?

I want to use the indicator in a watch list column that I can sort from longest (days since PVT moving up quickly) to shortest (days since moving up quickly).

Thanks.... Dan

PS.  It has bee a while since I posted here.  Hope you are doing well.

You could do something like the following RealCode Indicator.

'|******************************************************************
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Indicator - Version 5.1 www.worden.com 
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StocFinder *********
'|*** Indicator:Bars Since Condition Example
'|*** Example: plot = price.close - price.close(1)
'|******************************************************************
'# PVT = chartCondition.PriceVolumeTrend(PVT)MovingUp
Static Since As Single
If isFirstBar Then
	Since = Single.NaN
End If
Since += 1
If PVT.Value = True Then
	Since = 0
End If
Plot = Since

THe '# PVT = line was created by dragging and dropping a condition for PVT moving up quickly from the charts into the Code tab of the RealCode Editor.

1. I duplicated your code after creating the PVT moving up quickly condition and importing it into a new real code indicator.  It compiles correcty, but When I plot the new indicator, it is blank.  Any thoughts?

2. I would like modify the indicator so it shows the folowing output:

if today pvtmovingupquickly = false, then plot = 0 no

if today pvtmovingupquicly = true, then plot the number of days between todays pvt true signal and last instance of a pvt true signal

I have no idea why it would be blank. You could select Help | Send Layout to send us a copy of the layout so we can take a look and troubleshoot the issue. Please include a description of what is wrong and why you are sending the layout.
