Counter Increment

Hi all,

I am trying to create an indicator to look at price action for a basket of stocks and see if the candle close was up or down over the previous one. I am trying to get to the total number of stocks that closed up out of the entire basket.

So, for "Stock1" I have

Price1 = close("Stock1");
Price2 = close("Stock1")[1];
DeltaPrice1 = Price2 - Price1;
..
.. and so on for the rest of the basket....

Then I have a counter to catch how many of the bar closes were bullish (closed above previous close) and to update only if the trend changes.

DeltaCntr = 0;

And this is where I am stuck trying to figure out how to increment/decrement the counter. What I am looking to do is the following.

if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then add 1 to DeltaCntr
if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then do nothing - Trend maintained

if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then subtract 1 from DeltaCntr
if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then do nothing - Trend maintained

if DeltaPrice = 0 do nothing - Trend maintained.

I can code the above for each stock separately but that would make for very ugly code. I wondering if someone can recommend a more simpler more efficient way of coding this.

Many thanks advance for your help ....

if they have been moving down, then they aren't counted.
only new changes are counted

this ver,
i added 2 labels,
to count stocks moving up and stocks moving down

Ruby: 
# stkgroup15b_upordown

# add labels to count stocks moving up and stocks moving down

# track/count bar to bar price changes of other stocks

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

# s# = stock symbol
# p# = stock close price
# c# = price change, bar to bar
# m# = sign of the price change
# n# = adjusted sign of change. if same as prev, then 0, ignore it

def chground = 3;

input s1 = "C";
def p1 = close(s1);
def c1 = round(p1 - p1[1], chground);
def m1 = sign(c1);
def n1 = if m1 <> m1[1] then m1 else 0;

input s2 = "F";
def p2 = close(s2);
def c2 =...

You can give this a try. Can't test it but I think it's what you want. Might need some tweaking if not.

def DeltaCntr = compoundValue(1, if DeltaPrice > 0 and DeltaPrice[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]+1 else if DeltaPrice > 0 and DeltaPrice[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1] else if DeltaPrice < 0 and DeltaPrice[1] > 0 then DeltaPrice[1] -1 else if DeltaPrice < 0 and DeltaPrice[1] < 0 then DeltaPrice[1] else DeltaPrice[1],0);

This is returning a decimal number for some reason. Not able to figure out why since all we are doing is adding and subtracting 1s....

I reformatted the code and found what might have been a typo. So I changed the bold from DeltaPrice to DeltaCntr but now the label shows "N/A".

Would appreciate if you can look into it


def DeltaCntr = compoundValue(1,
if DeltaPrice > 0 and DeltaPrice[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]+1
else if DeltaPrice > 0 and DeltaPrice[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1]
else if DeltaPrice < 0 and DeltaPrice[1] > 0 then DeltaPrice[1] -1
else if DeltaPrice < 0 and DeltaPrice[1] < 0 then DeltaPrice[1]
else DeltaPrice[1],0);


def DeltaCntr = compoundValue(1,
if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]+1
else if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1]
else if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1] -1
else if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]
else DeltaCntr[1],1);

Currently trying to get the results right for 1 stock then will add the rest. Here is the full code so far.

declare lower;

def Price1 = close(symbol = "AAPL")[1];
def Price2 = close(symbol = "AAPL");
def DeltaPrice1 = Price2 - Price1;


def DeltaCntr = compoundValue(1,
if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]+1
else if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1]
else if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then DeltaCntr[1] -1
else if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then DeltaCntr[1]
else DeltaCntr[1],1);


AddLabel(yes, "label: "+DeltaCntr, Color.light_gray);

here is a version that looks at 5 stocks
i will make another version next for 15


here is a study that looks at the close price change of 5 stocks, from bar to bar.
if a price changes in a different direction than the previous change, then it is counted, in the increasing or decreasing count.
if a change is in the same direction as the previous change, it is ignored.

draw 2 labels,
. green one shows the count of increasing stocks,
. red one shows the count of decreasing stocks.

draw 5 labels,
. a label for each stock: C , F , SPY , T , Z (5 stocks i picked at random)
. each one shows the symbol and price change
. each one is colored based on the sign of the price change number, green up, red down, gray flat.

another version, with code for 15 stocks.
i picked 15 random stocks.

i thought the amount of change was important, so i left it in the labels.
you could make the labels smaller by removing the c# variables , and just have the s#
addlabel(1, s1 + " |" + c1, (if n1>0 then color.green else if n1<0 then color.red else color.gray));

here is a version that looks at 5 stocks
i will make another version next for 15


here is a study that looks at the close price change of 5 stocks, from bar to bar.
if a price changes in a different direction than the previous change, then it is counted, in the increasing or decreasing count.
if a change is in the same direction as the previous change, it is ignored.

draw 2 labels,
. green one shows the count of increasing stocks,
. red one shows the count of decreasing stocks.

draw 5 labels,
. a label for each stock: C , F , SPY , T , Z (5 stocks i picked at random)
. each one shows the symbol and price change
. each one is colored based on the sign of the price change number, green up, red down, gray flat.

Tested this out and seems like the "stocks decreased" label is not updating.... all 5 stocks are down but stocks increased behaves well and shows zero however stocks decreased also shows zero

another version, with code for 15 stocks.
i picked 15 random stocks.

i thought the amount of change was important, so i left it in the labels.
you could make the labels smaller by removing the c# variables , and just have the s#
addlabel(1, s1 + " |" + c1, (if n1>0 then color.green else if n1<0 then color.red else color.gray));

if they have been moving down, then they aren't counted.
only new changes are counted


your rules

And this is where I am stuck trying to figure out how to increment/decrement the counter. What I am looking to do is the following.

if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then add 1 to DeltaCntr
if DeltaPrice1 > 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then do nothing - Trend maintained

if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] > 0 then subtract 1 from DeltaCntr
if DeltaPrice1 < 0 and DeltaPrice1[1] < 0 then do nothing - Trend maintained

side note
when you have this many labels on a chart you may want to space them away from other study labels , or space them out a little more in my program. i used a couple black labels to space them out some.

you can use this as is, or copy a line or 2 and add it to my program , if you want all 15 labels to wrap over to the next row.

when i am creating a study, i use this to add black space between my other studied and the last one, that i am working on, to make it easier to see the labels.

Code: 
# label_shifter

input show_labels = no;
addlabel( show_labels,"label shifter", color.gray);

input qty_of_blank_labels = 3;
def qty = if qty_of_blank_labels > 10 then qty_of_blank_labels else if qty_of_blank_labels < 1 then 1 else qty_of_blank_labels;

# 20 chars
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 1), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 2), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 3), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 4), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 5), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 6), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 7), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 8), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 9), "-=========-=========" , color.black);
addlabel(show_labels and (qty >= 10), "-=========-=========" , color.black);

That is a neat trick ... I plan to have the summary labels on and a couple of the relevant basket stocks off and on. I can always comment out the labels that I do not want to show. I might even add a "show label" tag to the stocks if it gets too cumbersome to comment/uncomment :)

I can manage some simple code based on what you guys post here but cant handle these complex logics :)

Thanks again !!

I am assuming that the counters will get reset every time the study is reinitialized like a change on time frame or change in the stock on the chart itself.... so 2 instances of the study could potentially show different results if they are not started/initialized at the same time.

Please correct me if I am wrong....

all loaded studies look at the same price data. if 2 copies of the same study are loaded, they should show the same info.
