Hello,
I am new to EFS and I am trying to convert my indicators from my old platform.
One thing I use a lot is to count how many bars have passed since a condition was true. Unfortunately I can't find a way to do it with EFS and I hope to find someone here in the forum that can help me.
In the example attached I try to calculate how many bars are passed since the histogram of a PPO indicator crossed above or below the Zeroline.
At a first sight it seems to work, but when used in realtime it keeps adding values on the same bar for every tick.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I do want the indicator to update every tick, but not to add the value for every tick! Just to check the status.
I hope I stated my problem correctly.
Thank you for your help
