  Hello Everyone,

  I would like to ask for your help as for the following issue: is there any code that would let me calculating a number of bars since supertrend indicator was crossed by the price? The beginning of my code is:

  If close crosses over supertrend then “rise”

  Now the issue is that based on prorealtime handbook, i cannot use barindex to calculate the number of bars starting from the point when price crossed over supertrend.

  Thank you in advance for your help.

  Kind regards,

  Kemel

  Hi, create a variable where to save the moment of crossing. That moment is BarIndex

  like:

  If close crosses over mySupertrend then CrossingPosition = barindex Endif DistanceToCrossingPosition=Barindex-CrossingPosition

  1 2 3 4 5

  If close crosses over mySupertrend then CrossingPosition = barindex Endif   DistanceToCrossingPosition=Barindex-CrossingPosition
