Hi John,

"so basically ( for the buy setup)if the green consecutive count of a 
downtrend ==9 then for the green count to be valid it needs to have 
the low of bars 8 or 9 to be below the low of bars 6 and 7 ."
--This is True

"so if the above is true the red count starts when the close of 
current bar is <= to the low of the 2 previous bars (not consecutive)"
--This is True

"....the green buy count does not start until a sell. so if another 
buy setup happens does it only start 
count after the actual sell."
--This is Not True: a Buy Set up Starts over or resets- (Figure 1 
shows a reset of Green Buy Numbers- with the Red Numbers Beginning on 
the first Green 9 and going past the second set of Green 1-9 numbers)

"Question??? can it include days that are true before the sell e.g. 
(what if the green count of the downtrend was 4 at the sell). can it 
include this in the count or does it have to start fresh after the 
sell.( all of the above is only for the buy setup) it doesnt include 
the count for the sell."
--John this question I didnt follow- Did I answer it on the above 
answer or can you ask it in another way.

Cheers,
Brian
