Using Color Bar Based on Alert and/or Spreadsheet Formula study, how can I keep track of this kind of scenario: 1) Color Bar Based on Alert Condition is True, say a Long Signal (ID1.SG1) 2) Then while #1 being true, start to track number of times a lower low occurs, L<L[-1] 3) Cancel counting running total of Lower Lows based on Color Bar Short Signal being true (ID1.SG2) I tried hacking a solution with custom code using a persistent variable but my coding skills aren't great and can't seem to get it to count correctly. So either maybe there is a better example of this in the code base I can refer to for help, or a much easier way to do it? Thanks for any help!! |

The only thing we can point you to that we think is in line with what you are trying to do is the following: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula to Count Bars Since An Event For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

That’s only counting bars since event. I’m trying to count events since event. Anything else out there to help? Thank you!

Here's a spreadsheet syntax solution: =IF(AND(K4=0,K3=1),0,IF(D3<D4,O4+1,O4)) where this formula is in cell O3. This assumes the TRUE in K3 is persistent until there is a short signal. To convert this to the Spreadsheet Formula study, which uses Alert syntax: =IF(AND(ID1.SG2=0,ID1.SG1=1),0,IF(L<L[-1],ID2.SG1[-1]+1,ID2.SG1[-1])) where ID2 is this Spreadsheet Formula study. |
