CountIf question

[max-td]

Hi,
i wanna do the following :

make BackColor if the stochastics is over 90 for minimum 5 or more bars .

so i take the CountIf method that says
// If in the last 6 bars we have had 5 or more bars hit my condition then : do BackColor


my code is this :

double stoch = Stochastics(7,14,3).D[0];

if (CountIf(delegate {return stoch > 90 ;}, 6)>=5)


BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;



elses if (CountIf(delegate {return stoch < 10 ;}, 6)>=5)


BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;


compiling is OK but its not working as expected
- the BackColors comes at the first Bar the condition is hit !
although it should start wirth the 5th bar (see Arrows)
Whats wrong in my code here ?

ThanX for suggestions

Hello,

Try making stoch a DataSeires that uses bar indexes. So you will end up with something like this:

if (CountIf(delegate {return stoch[0] > 90 ;}, 6)>=5)

This link will help you with DataSeries creation:
