I was thrown by the incorrect comment of your earlier post, where it should have read "below", instead of "above". BarsSince( C> MA( C, 50 ) ); // number of consecutive closes above MA Guided by the comment, you would have had to use Cross instead of '>', and I ran with it from there. Otherwi

Hello, "That won't do it. " Or really? Did you bother to check? The code below (that is logically the same as I posted earlier) gives same results as your formula. So you don't need cross, nor flip. Nothing. Counting barssince opposite condition was true is perfectly enough. |MAC = MA(*Close

[amibroker] Re: number of consecutive closes above or below a MA

That won't do it. But, this will: MAC = MA(Close, 50); CrossOver = Cross(Close, MAC); CrossUnder = Cross(MAC, Close); Above = Flip(CrossOver, CrossUnder); Below = Flip(CrossUnder, CrossOver); Consecutive = IIf(Above, BarsSince(CrossOver) + 1, BarsSince(CrossUnder) + 1); Plot(IIf(Above, Consecutiv
