Indicator that count the bar

[Chris128]

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a simple indicator that can count the number of days that are up.
May you help me with this ?

Many thanks in advance,
Chris.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your post.

Do you wish to count sequential days up or the number of days up over a set period?

I look forward to your response.

Hi Patrick,
Just the number of days up during a certain period.
Thank you.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your note.

This code will count the number of times the close is greater than the open for the day within the period:

		#region Variables
		private int period = 15;
		private int upCount = 0;
        #endregion

  
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
        }


        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequired)
				return;
			
			upCount = 0;
			for(int i = period; i > 0; i--)
			{
				if(Closes[1][i] > Opens[1][i])
					upCount++;
			}
			Print("Number of up Days: " + upCount);
		}

        #region Properties
        [Description("Numbers of bars used for calculations")]
		[GridCategory("Parameters")]
		public int Period
		{
			get { return period; }
			set { period = Math.Max(1, value); }
		}
        #endregion

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your help Patrick.

Last question :
How can I use it on a chart to know how many days were up this year ?

Thank you in advance.
