Bar counter

I can't upload quickly a picture to show, but I use this code (see at the bottom). It's a histogram from previous close to close.
My question goes as follow: I found this code: ⬇️
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/anybody-know-how-to-create-a-bar-counter-on-tos.4739/#post-47217

declare upper;
def GreenCandle = Close>Open;
def RedCandle = Close<Open;
def GreenCount = TOTALSUM(GreenCandle);
def RedCount = TOTALSUM(RedCandle);
AddLabel(yes, "GreenCandle: " + GreenCount, color.GREEN);
AddLabel(yes, "RedCandle: " + RedCount, color.R

Is there anyway someone can help me to use a similar count, but than with a counter how often market closes with let see +1% or -1%? Thanks a lot!

PC to close code: ⬇️
input length = 1;

input price = close;

plot Diff = 100 * (close / close [length] - 1);

Diff.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
Diff.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
Diff.SetLineWeight(3);
Diff.DefineColor("Positive and Up", CreateColor(51, 204, 0));
Diff.DefineColor("Positive and Down", CreateColor(51, 204, 0));
Diff.DefineColor("Negative and Down", Color.RED);
Diff.DefineColor("Negative and Up", Color.RED);
Diff.AssignValueColor(if Diff >= 0 then if Diff > Diff[1] then Diff.color("Positive and Up") else Diff.color("Positive and Down") else if Diff < Diff[1] then Diff.color("Negative and Down") else Diff.color("Negative and Up"));

is this what you are looking for?
add this to the end of the histo code

Code:
def bn = barnumber();
input positive_percent = 1.0:
input negative_percent = -1.0:

def poscnt = if bn == 1 then 0
 else if diff >= positive_percent then poscnt[1] + 1
else poscnt[1];

def negcnt = if bn == 1 then 0
 else if diff <= negative_percent then negcnt[1] + 1
else negcnt[1];

addlabel(1, poscnt + " changes >= " + positive_percent + "%", color.green);

addlabel(1, negcnt + " changes <= " + negative_percent + "%", color.red);

@halcyonguy is there anyway there is a code of this for dollar up positive and negative counter? I love the percentage counter, but I was wondering if you are aware of the asdollar count bar, similar as these percentage count bar but than asdollar points up or down. I was trying to use this code to change it to Upcount/downcount but that is not working. Thank you for your help!

Yes, this works! Thank you very much! (y)
