Bullish and Bearish Bars

[Fernando Silva]

Hello. I'm sorry for my English. Can someone help me? I'm new to this, and I'm trying to get the number of bullish and bearish bars forming up to a distance of N bars. I'm doing it like this, but it counts the bars that are before the trade itself, the ones that have already formed. I'm trying to make it count as soon as a trade is opened. Thank you.

int  bullcount1 = 0; // Initialize the bullish candle counter to 0
    int bearCount1 = 0; // Initialize the bearish candle counter to 0

    for(int i = 1; i < 20; i++) // Loop through the last 20 bars
      {
       if(CountTrades()>0)
         {
          if(Close[i] > Open[i])
            {
             bullCounter1++; // We increase the counter if the candlestick is bullish
            }
          else
             if(Close[i] < Open[i])
               {
                counterBears1++; // We increase the counter if the candlestick is bearish
               }
         }
      }

I'm sorry, the code had the variables wrong. Here it is fixed to make it more understandable.

int bullCount1 = 0; // Initialize the bullish candle counter to 0
int bearCount1 = 0; // Initialize the bearish candle counter to 0

for (int i = 1; i < 20; i++) // Loop through the last 20 bars
{
    if (CountTrades() > 0)
    {
        if (Close[i] > Open[i])
        {
            bullCount1++; // Increase the counter if the candlestick is bullish
        }
        else if (Close[i] < Open[i])
        {
            bearCount1++; // Increase the counter if the candlestick is bearish
        }
    }
}

int bullCount1 = 0; // Initialize the bullish candle counter to 0
int bearCount1 = 0; // Initialize the bearish candle counter to 0
bool OpenBar = TRUE;

if(iVolume(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,0)>1) { OpenBar=false; }

if(OpenBar)
{
for (int i = 1; i < 20; i++) // Loop through the last 20 bars
{
        if (Close[i] > Open[i])
        {
            bullCount1++; // Increase the counter if the candlestick is bullish
        }
        else if (Close[i] < Open[i])
        {
            bearCount1++; // Increase the counter if the candlestick is bearish
        }
}
}

Try this, I don't really get what you want, but here what I understand.
