You need to specify a little more information:

Are you using intraday or end-of-day data?

Do you want to count the number of bars for which PercentR > 99 or the
number of times it crosses over 99?

If using intraday data do you want to plot the running count on every bar
or just on each new day.

If true, do you want to reset the count at the start of each day?

You comment of the While loop is not very clear to me - please expand on the

It would seen that it should be simple to do something like the code shown
below.

--------

Var: Count(0);

Count = iff(Date <> Date[1], 0, Count);  {If you want to reset each day}

Count = iff(PercentR(10) > 99, Count + 1, Count;
Plot1(Count, "Count");
