Function for counting something in amibroker?

Hi,

What function do you for counting some stuff in amibroker??

Sum() and Cum() do not count, are they ?

Sum() and Cum() use for addition, what do we use for counting ?

 

They can be used for counting.

If a statement is true it returns value 1, if false it returns 0.

Guess it all depends on what your counting.

 

Hi,


I wanted to count numbers such as under candle.

Code:

Plot( C, ""+Interval(2), styleCandle );
for( i = 1; i <4 ; i++ )
{
VarSet( "M" + i,  i);
M = VarGet( "M" + i );

   for( b = 0; b < BarCount; b++ )
    {
if(M[b] )   PlotText(" "+(i), b, L[b]-1-(i), colorAqua);
}
}
Plot( C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorDefault ), styleNoTitle | ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() );

If i want to count those numbers , What should i write ?
if(Sum([m]))PlotShapes( shapeCircle*m , colorGreen, 0, H, 45 ); ?
