Market Analyzer - Show how many bars ago MA changed from up to down & vice versa

[TraderYoda]

Hello,

I want to create a column in Market Analyzer that shows how many bars ago a moving average changed its position, e.g. from up to down. So say I'm using the T3 moving average, the column will show a value of 5, indicating that 5 bars ago the moving average changed from up (+1) to down (-1) current position

I've already got a T3 moving average that works with market analyzer to show up and down position.

Appreciate your help
