You could also do it with the Spreadsheet Formula study, or a spreadsheet study.

thank you for your response! i don't think i can run a spreadsheet study as this instance is already running at higher ram and higher processing power compared to the other instances however, spreadsheet formula can do this? do you have a small example formula of what you are thinking? i can try to figure it out from there! thanks!! |

Try this in the Formula field of the Spreadsheet Formula study: =IF(BARDATE>BARDATE[-1],0,IF(ID6.SG3>0,ID7.SG1[-1]+1,ID7.SG1[-1])) where ID6 is the Zigzag study, and ID7 is this Spreadsheet Formula study. This will reset at a new day, then count every ZZ reversal. |
