Hi Graham,
 
Sorry for the delay in responding - it was late 
here in the US and I had to go to bed   : - (
 
I didnt have the time to try and figure out the 
details of the countback line, but I wrote this little code that will identify 
previous highs and lows. Maybe you can modify it to get what you are looking 
for.
 
Steve

  SteveIt basically looks for the previous bar with 
  higher high, or lower low thanthe current bar, and progresses back till 
  you have the required number ofhighs/lows. Eg In my example I am looking 
  for the 3 day CBL, ie the 3rdhigher high, or lower low from the selected 
  bar. Here are some web refences for it<A

  know what it does. If youwant to try describing how it works, I could 
  maybe take a stab at it.Steve----- Original Message -----

  loopSteveInititally it was for the 3 day count back line, but 
  I am endeavouring toexpand on this for finding short term peaks and 
  troughs and some otherthoughts I have for some systems once I get it 
  working. When I plot it the lines start at the first occurrence of the 
  particular low(or high) price. Here is the whole picture of the formula I 
  am using at themoment as I try to get it working the way I am 
  wanting.// INDICATOR //Count Back Line //by Graham Kavanagh 22 
  Sep 2003//Plot(C, "Close", colorBlack, 
  styleBar+styleNoLabel);period = 3;Bar = 
  SelectedValue(BarIndex());LastBar = LastValue(BarIndex());start = 
  Lastbar-bar;LowerLow[0] = SelectedValue(L);for ( j=1; 
  j<=period; j++ ){for ( i=1 ; i < Lastbar ; i++ ){  
  if ( L[i] < LowerLow[j-1] )  {   LowerLow[j] = 
  L[i];  }}}Lowerline = 
  SelectedValue(LowerLow[period]);BarL   = ValueWhen( 
  L==Lowerline, BarIndex(), 1 );CBLow  = IIf( BarIndex()>=BarL, 
  Lowerline, Null );Plot(CBLow, EncodeColor(colorRed)+ "3 day CB Low", 
  colorRed, styleDots);//Plot(SelectedValue(L), EncodeColor(colorRed)+ 
  "Bar Low", colorRed,styleLine);HigherHigh[0] = 
  SelectedValue(H);for ( j=1; j<=period; j++ ){for ( i=1; i 
  <Bar ; i++ ){  if ( H[i] > HigherHigh[j-1] )  
  {   HigherHigh[j] = H[i];  
  }}}Higherline = 
  SelectedValue(HigherHigh[period]);BarH   = ValueWhen( 
  H==Higherline, BarIndex(), 1 );CBHigh  = IIf( BarIndex()>=BarH, 
  Higherline, Null );//Plot(SelectedValue(H), 
  EncodeColor(colorGreen)+ "Bar high", 
  colorGreen,styleLine);Plot(CBHigh, EncodeColor(colorGreen)+ "3 day CB 
  High", colorGreen,styleDots);Title = Name() + " " + Date() + " / "

  From looking at your code, itappears that the only elements of LowerLow 
  that can ever get changed are 1,2 and 3.Steve----- Original

  September 22, 2003 8:58 PMSubject: [amibroker] Stepping backwards in 
  loopI have this formula in a loop but it steps through the values 
  from thebeginning of the data rather than from the end. I have tried 
  reversing the line " for ( i=1; i < bar ; i++ ) " to  " for 
  (i=bar; i > 0 ; i-- ) " but stills seems to check the bars in the 
  forwarddirection. All I want to do is go back from the selected (or 
  last) bar. Help appreciated. period = 3;Bar = 
  SelectedValue(BarIndex());LastBar = LastValue(BarIndex());start = 
  Lastbar-bar;LowerLow[0] = SelectedValue(L);for ( j=1; 
  j<=period; j++ ){for ( i=1; i < bar ; i++ ){  if ( 
  L[i] < LowerLow[j-1] )  {   LowerLow[j] = 
  L[i];  }}}Cheers,Graham<A
