Add'l Help With Count Bars, Please?

FWIW even though I am one of the moderators of these forums I am not an employee of eSignal.
In looking at your chart I noticed that both counts are not set up to reset if vPrice is greater than vLower or lesser than vUpper (ie where the yellow circles are drawn). I don't know if this is intended or not. If not then you will need to add either one of the following examples in your third condition. This is so that the count gets reset at every change of state.

//if you want to reset the count but not draw the numbers
if(vPrice>vLower&&vPrice<vUpper){
    drawShapeRelative(0,vPrice,Shape.CIRCLE,null,Color.yellow,null);
    if(vFlag!=0) vCounter=1;
    vFlag = 0;
}

//or if you want to reset the count and draw the numbers
if(vPrice>vLower&&vPrice<vUpper){
    drawShapeRelative(0,vPrice,Shape.CIRCLE,null,Color.yellow,null);
    if(vFlag!=0) vCounter=1;
    vFlag = 0;
    if(vCounter<14) drawTextRelative(your parameters);
}

Good Morning, Alex, (I'm on central time),
Thanks for checking out my chart & thanks for your information. Initially, I was using the yellow circles to indicate a no-trend area, but, after revisiting your example chart & this new info, I'm going to revise my study with this information. Hope you have a good day!(Seems you must work 7 days a week, but I know that can't be right. And I still think you should get a raise no matter who you work for).Thanks, again.

Alex,
Your way is definitely better. Thank you.

As always you are most welcome and thank you for the compliment
Upon further review of the script I noticed that the version of the T3 Average you are using is one that computes incorrectly in real time. In fact if you let it run for a while (even in Tick Replay) and then reload the efs the plot of the section that was run in real time will change. In addition the counter could reset incorrectly in real time if the conditions changed intrabar.
Given the extent of changes required to fix all the above I modified the efs and am attaching it with comments included in the script itself. Note that the count now executes only on completed bars (the logic itself is unchanged) while the shapes are drawn in real time. As far as I can see it should all be working correctly now

Alex,
WOW! I can really see the difference using the completed bar. Thank you for your eagle eye! With my extremely limited knowledge, I would never have caught the problem. Thank you for taking your valuable time to redo the efs, & for everything you have done for me this weekend. At this point, you're probably ready for a serious vacation!

Hi Alex,
I don't mean to question your incredible expertise, but I have 1 question:
in the formula, where it says: if(vPrice_1<=vLower_1){
if(vFlag!=2--shouldn't that be -1?
& (vFlag=2--maybe -1 also?
Thanks,
Diane

It actually does not matter so long as we first check for the flag to be a unique value (or string) that is different from what we will then set it to. However given that throughout this thread we refer to -1 you may want to replace 2 with -1.
I have also replaced the posted efs with one that contains that change

Thanks, Alex. Hope you have a great night.
