Small help with the code to count up-bars and down-bars

int BarCount;
int LongCount;
int ShortCount;

for(int Count = 0; Count <= BarCount; Count++)
{
if(Open[Count] < Close[Count])
   {
   LongCount++;
   ShortCount = 0;
   }
if(Open[Count > Close[Count])
   {
   LongCount = 0;
   ShortCount++;
   }
if(LongCount > [Number of consecutive bars]) 
   {
   Print("There were x long bars starting at ", Count);
   break;
   }
if(ShortCount > [Number of consecutive bars]
   {
   Print("There were x short bars starting at ", Count);
   break;
   }
}

This should be quite simple for a programmer.
I need a help with a piece of code which would count the up-bars (close>open) and down-bars (close<open) from the current bar backwards and alert me when there was n bars of the same type in a row recently.

example: ...downbar1, downbar2, upbar1, downbar1, downbar2, downbar3, downbar4, upbar1, upbar2....

On close of last upbar1 it would give me an alert: "4 down bars in row"
Also ignore alert when 3 or less of the same bars in a row.

Thanks.

why wait until the close of last upbar1 and not after the close of downbar1?
