Hi Spyros! As a beginner with Metastock formula language I 
implemented your suggestion (as an indicator) just to check how it 
worked.

It seems to work fine most of the time, except for a few days at the 
end of each month (try Nov 29 or Nov 30, 2002). How can that be? 
Maybe something related to the '<' sign in the BarsSince condition?

BTW, what is the rationale for the condition 'd<DayOfMonth() AND 
m=Month() AND y=Year()'. Does it mean that BarsSince counts from the 
last time the condition was true?

And why is the assignment 'count:=count + Cum(If(count=0,1,0))' 
necessary?

Thanks a lot.
