    Hi,

    Is it possible to get the countdown to bar close for range bars, displayed on the vertical axis as per normal candlesticks?

    Thanks

    Hi, here you have:

    defparam drawonlastbaronly=true
box=5

if islastbarupdate then

rangeNow=high-low
NextChange=box-rangeNow
distUp=high-close
distDn=close-low
countUp=distUp+NextChange
countDn=distDn+NextChange

drawtext("Dist.Up: #countUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1]))
drawtext("Dist.Dn: #countDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1]))
drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp)
drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn)
endif
return

    Thanks Ivan.

    That’s very clever. My mistake though, I wasn’t specific enough.

    I’m actually using range bars with:Ā  Box Size Method = Ticks (100)

    Is there any way to count the ticks and display it counting down from 100, 99, 98, etc?

    Btw, is it possible to display on the Y-axis or only the chart area?

    Thanks! 🙌

    Ok, so it will be like this: 

    defparam drawonlastbaronly=true
boxTicks=75
box=boxTicks*ticksize

if islastbarupdate then
   
   rangeNow=high-low
   NextChange=box-rangeNow
   distUp=high-close
   distDn=close-low
   countUp=distUp+NextChange
   countDn=distDn+NextChange
   ticksUp = countUp/ticksize
   ticksDn = countDn/ticksize
   
   drawtext("Dist.Up: #ticksUp#",barindex+2,max(open[1],close[1]))
   drawtext("Dist.Dn: #ticksDn#",barindex+2,min(open[1],close[1]))
   drawsegment(barindex,close+countUp,barindex+5,close+countUp)
   drawsegment(barindex,close-countDn,barindex+5,close-countDn)
endif
return

    Hi Matty,

    If you are already using the “Countdown to bar Close” setting, this counter will change to a “tick” counter when you use a “tick” graph…

    When using, for example, a 100 tick graph, the counter will count down the ticks from 100 to 0…

    (Right click on the Y-axis and check “Display countdown to bar close”…)
