Hello,

Thank you for the question,
Can you please provide further details the context of this question or provide a sample of what you are looping through where you need a counter variable?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I was given the following code but compile didn't like it:

#region Variables
private int counter = 0; // create the counter
#endregion

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Close[0] > Close[1])
counter++; // if the current close is greater than the previous, increment the counter
else
counter = 0; // reset the counter back to 0 because the current close isn't greater than the previous

if (counter == 5)
ExitLong(); // if there have been five consecutive up closes, exit long position
}

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I pasted the sample into a strategy but it compiled fine, could you post the whole script instead to see where you have placed this syntax in the file? It may be that this syntax is in a incorrect location.

Either the entire file or the error message would be needed to further identify what your compile error is.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
