Hello Rick,

I think there might be another way.
If I understand what you are trying to do then I am pretty sure it can 
be done using array processing.

No harm in trying.

Just looking at the high side first (if we solve that then it should be 
easy to adapt to the low side):

starting hard left of screen (using barindex) -

1) bar 1 is higher than bar zero and then bar two starts a downtrend 
that continues for a few bars so bar 1 becomes the Highest High for the 
set periods (P)

2) a line is set x% below the HHValue(High,P) say 2%


3) when the price crosses up through the setpoint you want to trigger a 
signal (Buy?) AND/OR reset the periods (P) to zero.

4) since you want to reset the periods (P), when the closes crosses, 
then......

P = barssince(close crossed the setpoint)

Is that what you want?
If so I might have a go at it.
