Overview
Zen Bar Count plots the running count in the data window and, when enabled, draws that number below the bar every N bars. A second interval switches the label to a highlight colour. Users can hide labels, change label size, set both intervals, and choose the default and highlight colours. Labels sit on the price chart below each bar. The script does not generate trade signals or exits.
- Daily reset bar counter
- Labels every N bars
- Highlight colour interval
- Data window bar count plot
- Adjustable label size

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
