Hi, trying to find a counter for number of parabolic bars in one direction. ideally would be bar number count at each level (bar, under or above), then that restarts on switch over.
I hope that makes sense lol . Thank you in advance for any help

sorry to bump, any ideas how to have a counter for number of bars thats stayed with in a parabolic range. Then starting over when it switches over to the opposite side. Thank you so much and may you all have a great new year

Because you'll need to create an incrementing variable, you would need to use a spreadsheet study for this.
If you want the details of how to do it, post again.

Hi thank you for the response.
very basic knowledge here lol, does that mean I'll have to look at a spreadsheet or is that something that can be converted onto a charts as it happens real time.
thanks

The spreadsheet will do the bar counting using formulas, and will plot the bar number in real time at the price bars using the 'Value On High' and 'Value On Low' Draw Styles.
Or you can do other things with the value.
You won't need to look at the spreadsheet; you can minimize it.

Here are the formulas to find the Parabolic transitions:

You'll need to use a modification of these incrementing variable formulas to count the bars of each transition:

Post again if you want specifics.
