There are a number of ways to go but one is 
    to draw the trendline with the trendline charting tool, assign a study id to 
    it, and then use the range marker bars to define the beginning and end 
    of the line.  At that point, the number of bars is 
    simply:
     
    endvalue(barindex()) - 
    beginvalue(barindex())

      [amibroker] bar counter
      
Hello,
I am trying to implement a bar counter - this 
      will indicate the number of bars between two ends of a trendline. The 
      trendline in Amibroker(when double clicked) shows the x and y position of 
      its ends, but I am not sure how to access this from a script. Any help in 
      this would be greatly appreciated.
To give a general idea of how 
      this is used, I have a system which relies on static bar counts from a 
      starting point. The attached chart for Thursday (for the SP500) shows how 
      turns are projected using 100 bar increments (on a 1min chart) starting 
      from a low (blue arrow). The chart was generated with Wave59. I want to do 
      the same using Amibroker.
Thank you in advance,
-VJ
