Can anyone help me with an indicator? I want to count how many times a fast MA crossed (above and below) a slow moving average for the last two years and display the cumulative count at the bottom of the chart.

Here's some code on how many days a EMA(5) is above EMA(5). You can change this to MA(5) above MA(5) or EMA(10) above EMA(30). If you get the picture.
BxB is number of consecutive days ema(5) above (+)/below(-) previous EMA(5) and set{BBb,days( ema(5) is above EMA(5)1 day ago,100)}
set{BBa,days( ema(5) is below EMA(5) 1 day ago,100)} set{BxB, BBa - BBb} and add column BxB {B_x_B}
do not draw BxB

This should do it. However,when examining the charts it doesn't always seem correct. This could be related to accounting for dividends.

Thanks mahkoh. This does work, although the count is limited to the only the last 100 days per the SF user guide. Not sure why, but it is.

I believe that SF has upgraded many of their functions (including count()) to go back up to 252 days.
