123Down & 123Up

[daytrader85]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
I have the 123down and 123up on my chart. It is changing to green when I have 3 consecutive lower high bars, and red, when there are 3 consecutive lower lows. Is there any way to change the number "3" to lets say "5".

Thanks in advance.

Attached is a modified version of 123down.efs that waits for 5 lower highs before giving a signal.
Open both the original and the modified efs with the Editor and compare them to see where the differences are (comments highlight the changes). Then, using this as an example you can modify the 123up.efs.

Alex,

Along similar lines (and I've already attempted to tweak it myself to no avail), I'd like to see the code below modified so that if there are 3 consecutive Lower Lows (must be lower low, not previous low <= current low) it will paint lime, 4 Lower Lows paint green, and 5 Lower Lows paint blue.

Thanks, Alex.

ps - how's golf these days?

The attached efs will now count lower Lows (not lower Highs like in the previous iterations of the same) and paint the background lime at the third occurrence, green at the fourth and blue at the fifth or beyond.
