Up bar and down bar counter.

[Czarek]

Hello. Are there any sample of the indicator what can count the number of up-close and down-closed bars in the given time period?

Hello Czarek,

I'm not aware of any samples that demonstrate this specific logic.

Is the time period the same as the script runs or does this change dynamically?

You could use a time filter in a condition to increment an integer to count each time the Open[0] is greater than the Close[0] or vice versa on each new bar between certain times..

Below is a link to a reference sample that demonstrates a time filter.

And a link to a forum post that describes incrementing an integer as a counter.

You can also use .GetBar() to get bar numbers for provided DateTimes and then use a for loop to loop through those bars and use the counter the same way.

Below is a link to the help guide on .GetBar().
