I believe that ValueWhen will do what you want, as shown below.
PrevClose = Ref(Close, -1);
Indices = BarIndex();
Rising = Close > PrevClose;
FailureBars = ValueWhen(NOT Rising, Indices);
ConsecutiveRise = Indices - FailureBars;
Colors = IIF(Rising, colorDarkGreen, IIF(Close < PrevClose,
colorDarkRed, colorLightGrey));
Plot(ConsecutiveRise, "Consecutive Up Bars", Colors, styleLine |
styleOwnScale);
Plot(Close, "Close", Colors, styleNoTitle | styleBar);
