One of my friends (Caixa) asked a good question
In many of the expert advisor, the commentary says so and so happened 18 bars ago for example, how can I know which is the bar 18 without having to count the bars myself?
And imagine the commentary says 300 bars ago!
I ended up making this indicator for him, thought of sharing it, since I liked the question, at the same time maybe some one here has a better idea!
Periods:=LastValue(Cum(1));
Periods-Cum(1)

Bulli,
I have also found it useful with the Experts that have these "countbacks" in them to add a symbol or another highlight to the Expert for the condition(s). (You have to code these yourself.)
In your example, I would have added a symbol to indicate the bar when the MACD crossed below the signal line.
It's a lot easier than having to lose more screen realestate to counter indicators, and certainly beats counting bars manually.

Wabbit,
Thank you for the feed back.
Actually I did not add something for the MACD as he asked for a general solution, in other words for any expert that does this count back not just the MACD. It has to be general.
You would not really loss much except for some system resources off course, but just place the indicator in a minimized chart.
Thanks
Bulli
