🤔 Range Bar countdown…

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: 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”…)
