Calculate how many bars within last 10 bars were above specific price.

[UltraNIX]

My general idea is this:
- 10 last bars
- Current price is $4420.75
- Specific price point is $4423.00

- I visually see, that over last 10 bars, price (i.e. Low of the candle) was above specific price ($4423) 7 times.

How to turn that into a calculation?

Hello UltraNIX,

Thanks for your question.

You could use a for loop to loop over the current bar, 1 bar ago, 2 bars ago... 10 bars ago and check if the high of that bar is above your PRICE.

int myCount = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    if (Low[i] > PRICE)
        myCount++;
}
Print(myCount);

Or starting from 9 bars ago, going to and including 0 bars ago:

int myCount = 0;

for (int i = 9; i >= 0; i--)
{
    if (Low[i] > PRICE)
        myCount++;
}
​​​​​​​Print(myCount);

myCount then represents the number of those bars from X number of bars ago where the Low is above PRICE.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
