Hello,

I'm trying to code an indicator to plot the number of bars since there was a close higher than the current close in the case of an up candle or number of bars since there was a close lower than the current close in the case of a down candle.

I'm pretty new to coding and can't seem to get it to loop and do a count of the number of bars.

Thank you

Maybe something similar to the following RealCode Indicator?

RealCode for Real People: Indicators (6:05)

'#Cumulative
Dim Count As Integer = 0
If Price.Last > Price.Last(1) Then
	For i As Integer = 1 To CurrentIndex
		Count = CurrentIndex + 1
		If Price.Last(i) > Price.Last Then
			Count = i
			Exit For
		End If
	Next
Else If Price.Last < Price.Last(1) Then
	Count = -CurrentIndex - 1
	For i As Integer = 1 To CurrentIndex
		If Price.Last(i) < Price.Last Then
			Count = -i
			Exit For
		End If
	Next
End If
Plot = Count

Thanks looks like that did the trick.

You're welcome.
