YO Paul! Helpful? Heck, I've been perusing the MS manual for some kind of do while for loop or something to get me a variable rising period for days! Ya know, using a counter and increasing -1 day, blah blah, blah. I started some long drawn out IF thing and just about to bag it when your post comes along...one line of code...sweet. NICE workaround.

I like memory variables too, as I type quite slow. This is what I was doing with a fixed period of rising. I put an m in front of variables for reference. (mp will get you in trouble though!)

mt1:= 25; {enter threshold}
mp1:= 13; {enter periods}
md1:= ADX(mp1); {enter indicator}{current day}
md2:= Ref(md1, -1); {day -1}
md3:= Ref(md1, -2); {day -2}
mrise:= mp1 > md2 AND md2 > md3;

md1 > mt1 AND mrise

I then utilized your ingenious "loop" and revised...

mt1:= 25; {enter threshold}
mp1:= 13; {enter periods}
md1:= ADX(mp1); {enter indicator}{current day}
mpr:= 3; {enter periods rising}

Sum(md1>md2,mpr)=mpr


Thank you.
I love sharp and smart people and SI is full of them. The TA vets have been very helpful. Just hope to someday contribute as well, for now I'm afraid it's mostly "barbie doll heads " (LOL, CatLady!)

ps Your note about when you first found these threads must be to Brooke or someone else as I was not around, maybe Jerry "big dog" Gatto?
