Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

I still use TS2000i and I know it is similar to the newer versions of TS.


In any event this is what I am trying to do:

1. I am using 10 minute bars and a 5 period SMA

2. The indicator I am trying to create is in it own subparagraph where there are different levels 5,4,3,2,1,0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5

3. I am trying to code an indicator where the first time the Close is > SMA then plot a line at 1 //the lines should connect , kind of like RSI or %R

the 2nd time the C > SMA then plot a line at 2

the 3rd time the C > SMA then plot a line at 3 and so on

4. Reverse is true if C < SMA

5. It will reset everyday //date <> date[1]

I cannot understand how to get past 1.

If anybody can help me Thankyou !

Which platform? So this can be moved to appropriate section.

@Big Mike Tradestation judging by the abbreviations TS2000i (i.e. Tradestation 2000i) and TS.

Hi Joe50,

one approach that could work is using a variable that you increment or decrement every time your conditions are fulfilled. Then simply plot this variable and maybe add additional plots for the levels.
