Hi Everyone,

I have written this code that is supposed to keep track of the number of bars below or above the middle bollenger band. My trouble is that it works back to front. Its getting late and I thought a fresh set of eyes might spot the problem.

I found the problem.

Here is the code if anyone needs it for anything.

Inserted Code
int CountBars=20; 
   
   bool BearBar = Open[i] > Close[i];
   int dir=0, bufferUp=0, bufferDown=0; 
   for (i=CountBars-1; i>=0; i--)
    {
      double MidBand = ((iBands(NULL,15,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,i) + iBands(NULL,15,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,i))/2);
      if (MidBand < Close[i] && MidBand  < Open[i]) dir= 1;  // UP
      if (MidBand  > Close[i] && MidBand  > Open[i]) dir= -1; // Down
      if (dir !=1 && dir!=-1) {if (BearBar) dir=-1; else dir=1;}
      if (dir==1)bufferUp++; 
      if (dir==-1) bufferDown++; 
     }

   //  if (Volume[0]==1) {Print  ("BufferUp=",bufferUp); Print  ("BufferDown=",bufferDown);} //for testing
