Possible to modify?

[erickguz]

I have failed in my 82nd attempt to complete the following and seek some assistance.

Below is the 123up.efs study.

Is it possible to modify this formula to output "the sum of times L>L(-1)" during a 10-day period, and plot it as a simple line indicator? (yup, that's it...)

Thanks for any help.


function preMain() {
setStudyTitle("123Up");
setCursorLabelName("123Up");
setPriceStudy(false)


var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("nBars", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
fp1.setName("Number of Bars");
fp1.setLowerLimit(1);
fp1.setDefault(10);
}

/*
* This functions shows when there are 3 or more up bars with higher lows
* It is a pure color study.
*/

function main(nBars) {
var i = 0;
var nStateTotal = 0;

if(low(-nBars) == null) return;

for(i = 0; i < nBars-1; i++) {
if(low(-i) >= low(-i-1)) {
nStateTotal = nStateTotal + 1;
} else {
break;
}
}

if(nStateTotal == 0) {
return ????
}

return;
}

The first thing you need to do is modify the condition
if(low(-i) >= low(-i-1)) {
to the following
if(low(-i) > low(-i-1)) {
The condition will now evaluate only those bars in which the Low is greater than the prior Low instead of greater than OR equal to the prior Low
Then delete or comment out the following section of code which is not required
if(nStateTotal == 0) {
return ????
}
and add nStateTotal to the return statement ie
return nStateTotal;
Once you make these changes the formula will plot the number of instances the condition occurred within the defined number of bars
