[EquisMetaStock Group] Problems with a formula and a explorer

I want to develop an explorer with MS and I have many troubles with 
my formula. In short, I want the following:

Working with week candlesticks, I want to start in a week placed, 
lets say, ten weeks ago, or another number of weeks ago. Afterwards, 
I will count how many consecutives weeks, that stock have been 
growing up before to have a week were the close was less than the 
last week opening (the stock have failed: this week with close > last 
week close) 

The filter will show me in column A the number of consecutive weeks 
that stock have been growing up from the origin week till the stock 
failed.  

Column A

5   (This means this stock was growing up till week 5. After the 
stock failed in week 6 )
6    (This means this stock was growing up till week 6. After the 
stock failed in week 7)
7     (This means this stock was growing up till week 7. After the 
stock failed in week 8)

If we work with the week origin, in example, 10 weeks ago, it is very 
easy for me to check if that stock have been growing 10 consecutive 
weeks:

Sum(C-Ref(C,-1)>0,10) = 10 

If the stock meets this condition it means that it has been growing 
for 10 consecutive weeks. Easy!

However, if this condition is not meet, I should go one week back 
from week 10 and check again the condition:

Sum(C-Ref(C,-1)>0,9) = 9

In the next step I should go back 2 weeks from week 10 and check:

Sum(C-Ref(C,-1)>0,8) = 8

??And so on??

After that, I can make condition like

If (Sum(C-Ref(C,-1)>0,10) = 10, 
{if this condition meets the filter write 9} 9,
{if this condition doesn't meet check the next condition} If (Sum(C-
Ref(C,-1)>0,9) = 9, 9, If (Sum(C-Ref(C,-1)>0???.. and so on??

My problem is how to place me into an absolute reference to a 
candlestick. In an Excel worksheet, I can name a cell like A23 or 
$A$23, but in Metastock, how can I solve this problem? Which is the 
best solution?  Maybe should I use a counter? How?

Sorry for my awful English but I'm from Spain. If I should clear 
something to you, just let me know. Many thanks in advance!
