Hi, thank you for your effort in making the indicator. I would like to suggest a feature. In Al Brooks trading course, the bar counter starts with regular trading hours. So, for example, the first 5min bar in DOW would start 9:30 am in the u.s. Would it be possible to add this feature?

Thanks.

Hello!

Thanks for creating this indicator. I highly suggest to include an option to choose a color for a specific number/s. For example, I wanted to apply red color on every 5th candle on H4. I really hope that you consider this suggestion.

Again, thank you very much!

Oh I got this already! Sorry abt that 😅

I just have another suggestion that you may consider:
Add one more specific number with distinct color. For example, I would like to distinguish the 5th, 8th, and 11th candle.

Thank you!

Hi,

I tried your suggestion but I noticed that the indicator doesn't show the highlighted numbers at the same time. It will only show the two numbers from the 1st indicator or the other two from the 2nd indicator but not all 4 of them simultaneously. Please do advice.

Thank you!

On image, we can see the specifics numbers 5 18 and 41 

bar counter can be ploted more than two times on the chart

on the first indicator I set your specific number 5 with red color, all of others are disabled

bar count sets to specific number 5

on the second indicator I just disable the odd, even and divisibles numbers and the specific Al Brooks' numbers 18 and 41 continue as default

bar counter using the specifics all brooks numbers 18 and 41

try it and let me know if is all right

I think you should have your Mql5.com login at your Metatrader 4/5 to donwload indicators from Market

I like it, very nice.  

Suggestion 1:
One small suggestion for a new input variable: Start_divisible_group_numbering_with_1 = false; (or true? but false matches your current behavior)

I want to count by 3', but label 1,4,7,...   I don't see a way to do that, but with my proposed variable as 'true', it does the trick.

Suggestion 2:
For offset, you have "Distance from the candle (in ticks)" = 6, but the problem is it doesn't scale well with changing timeframes, especially to large ones.

I suggest to offer the user a "Distance from the candle (% of max-min)" = 1.0  (or experiment, and pick a number you prefer). 
Just take % of CHART_PRICE_MAX - CHART_PRICE_MIN  (which is only the bars one is currently looking at; it need not dynamically update the offset although it could, but that wastes CPU to recalculate the static numbers).

Another way would be something like "% of initial ATR(200)"  rather than chart min/max.  (Not just 1%, something larger).
Or find the High of iHighest(... #bars), minus the Low of iLowest(... #bars), and take a one-time % of that upon startup.

Either approach would scale large timeframes with bigger offsets, smaller timeframes with smaller offsets.  They should look about the same in terms of pixels regardless of timeframe.

Suggestions/Question 3:
Any idea about how much CPU loading this indicator does?
I expect you know plenty, and would draw-once for max bars, then update only upon some "isNewBar()" function true (or a chart 'Refresh').
Here's how I measure performance:

//Global vars:
int count = 0;
long microSum = 0;

At beginning of OnCalculate/start(), I do:
long microStart = GetMicrosecondCount();
// do all your calculations and stuff//
long microEnd  GetMicrosecondCount();
count++;
long procTime = microEnd - microStart;
microSum += procTime;

if(count<20) Print("DEBUG pass# ",count," took ",procTime," usec");

In OnDeinit:
if(count>0) Print("DEBUG  Average processing time= ",microSum/count," for ",count," passes");

Suggestion 4:
Some others have asked to be able to highlight more than the 2 specific bar numbers you offer.   I don't know, but my guess is having a unique color isn't as important as just marking it.
So, you could change 3 lines with "Number 1" to "Number(s) (Set1)".  Then "Specific Number(s) (Set1)" = 18  (current default)
... but allow user to say "18 25 33", then you convert the string to an int array, then mark each of the bars 18, 25, 33... the same way.
Same feature for "Number(s) (Set2)" ...   =41 (current default)

A slight drawback could be:
I know that changing the current input "int" to "string" types would possibly break existing templates (??).  I didn't experiment, but it might still work if number 18 becomes "18".  I don't know.
