bar counting to help analysing

  Hi, I am looking for a bar counting code that would print under each bar its number starting from the beginning of the session. It helps a lot when studying price action. I know it is available on Ninja.

  Thanks in advance.

  There you go:

  x = barindex drawtext("#x#",barindex,low - range) return

  1 2 3

  x = barindex drawtext("#x#",barindex,low - range) return

  It does work on my platform.
  Did you put it ON your chart (not below)?

  I understood what you meant and it works but may I ask a question. How to start the counting lets say at 9 am each day until 11PM for example?

  Because it starts the counting on a 5 min chart on 28 oct.

  Thank a lot for your help.

  There you go:

  Once Tally = 0 If OpenTime = 090000 Then Tally = 0 Endif If (OpenTime >= 090000) And (OpenTime <= 230000) Then Tally = Tally + 1 drawtext("#Tally#",barindex,low - range) Endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  Once Tally = 0 If OpenTime = 090000 Then    Tally = 0 Endif If (OpenTime >= 090000) And (OpenTime <= 230000) Then    Tally = Tally + 1    drawtext("#Tally#",barindex,low - range) Endif return

  Dear Roberto,

  Your program works beautifully. Just a question if I a may (without abusing of your patience) the position of the figures is quite strange, sometimes very low sometimes very close to the bar. Is there any way to fix some distance below the low of the bar?
  All the best.

  There’s no instruction to anchor the text on a fixed point of the chart (it’s in the pipeline, though), but this could help display them at a better distance. Replace line 7 with:

  drawtext("#Tally#",barindex,lowest[5](low) - highest[5](range))

  1	drawtext("#Tally#",barindex,lowest[5](low) - highest[5](range))

  changing periods (I used 5) from 2 to any number (I suggest it to not be greater than 50) could let you better fine tune the output.

  Hi Maurice,

  How did you manage to get this bar count to show on the main chart as opposed to a panel at the bottom?

  I keep having the same issue as you did with it only showing at the bottom of the chart and not on the chart itself.

   

  Thanks

  You have to add it by going on the price menu on the top left of the chart and then add an indicator

  Thanks for responding, Maurice.

  It embarrasses me to say that it took a lot longer than I expected to figure out how to do it even after you telling me how!

   

  BTW this is great for watching PA in the Al Brooks format.
