Yes, except that at point 3 the close would cross below the line (trend) and a sell signal would occur.
I also want to plot the line (trend).
 
GP - you mentioned that "values Uptrend, Downtrend, Crossup, Crossdown, HV, and LV
are all generated using only the initial values of Trend and Period.". 
 
But I thought defining them before the loop created arrays that could then be accessed in the loop.

Hello Rick,

I think there might be another way.
If I understand what you are trying to do then I am pretty sure it can
be done using array processing.

No harm in trying.

Just looking at the high side first (if we solve that then it should be
easy to adapt to the low side):

starting hard left of screen (using barindex) -

1) bar 1 is higher than bar zero and then bar two starts a downtrend
that continues for a few bars so bar 1 becomes the Highest High for the
set periods (P)

2) a line is set x% below the HHValue(High, P) say 2%

3) when the price crosses up through the setpoint you want to trigger a
signal (Buy?) AND/OR reset the periods (P) to zero.

4) since you want to reset the periods (P), when the closes crosses,
then......

P = barssince(close crossed the setpoint)

Is that what you want?
If so I might have a go at it.
