Sequential Countdown

Sequential Countdown is a free MetaTrader 5 indicator for traders who use the 9-13 sequential count. It numbers the setup (1 to 9) and the countdown (1 to 13) on the chart, marks each perfected 9, and alerts you on every 9 and 13.

It counts closed bars only. A number never changes after its bar has closed, and nothing is drawn on the forming bar. It places no trades.

Quick start

  1. Attach it to any chart and timeframe. The numbers appear on the closed bars.
  2. Set Closed bars to count (default 1500) for how far back to count. Switch off Show setup numbers 1-8 to see only the 9s.
  3. Leave the alerts A completed 9 and A 13 on, then choose pop-up, sound, push or e-mail in the Alerts inputs.

The rules it uses

The 9-13 count has several published variants. This indicator uses one, stated in full:

  • Buy setup: a close below the close 4 bars earlier. It starts at 1 only after a bar that closed above the close 4 bars before it. It then counts while each close stays below the close 4 bars earlier. Nine in a row completes it. The sell setup mirrors it.
  • Perfected 9: for a buy, the low of bar 8 or 9 is at or below the lows of bars 6 and 7 (for a sell, highs). A 9 that is not perfected shows as 9'.
  • Countdown: starts on the 9 itself. A buy countdown bar closes at or below the low 2 bars earlier. The bars do not need to be in a row. The 13 also needs a low at or below the close of countdown bar 8. A bar that meets only the first condition shows "+" and is not counted.
  • Cancel and restart: a countdown stops when the opposite setup completes, or when price closes beyond the high (buy) or low (sell) of the setup that started it. A new setup in the same direction starts the countdown again.

On the chart

  • Setup numbers under (buy) or above (sell) the bars; 9 in bold.
  • Countdown numbers in their own colours; 13 in bold with an arrow.
  • Buffers for other programs: setup count (10 = perfected 9), countdown number (-1 = deferred), 13 arrows.
  • Alerts on the newest closed bar: pop-up, sound, push notification, e-mail.

Good to know

  • How often: on 2023-2026 broker history, about 13 nines and 3 thirteens per symbol per month on H1. On D1 it is less than one 9 per month.
  • A 9 or a 13 is a count, not a signal to buy or sell.
