David, try this indicator:

=================
Up/Down bar count
=================
---8<-------------------------

{ Up/Down bar count - v1.0
  http://www.metastocktools.com }

{ User input }
plot:=Input("plot:  [1]up/down Signals,  [2]up/down Bar Count",1,2,2);

{ Up/Down signals }
up:=C>Ref(C,-1);
firstUp:=up AND Alert(up<1,2);
down:=C<Ref(C,-1);
firstDown:=down AND Alert(down<1,2);

{ Up/Down bar count }
upCount:=(BarsSince(firstUp)+1)*up;
downCount:=(BarsSince(firstDown)+1)*down;

{ Plot in own window }
0;If(plot=1,up-down,upCount-downCount)

---8<-------------------------
