Try the following (untested but probably close to correct)

Input: COLOR(Tool_White), Strtdate(0), Run(4);
Var: count(0), newtext(0), sbar(0);

if date = Strtdate then
         sbar = currentbar;

if sbar <> 0 then begin
    count = count + 1;
    if  Mod(count,Run) = 0 then begin;
       newtext=text_new(date,time,H,numtostr(count,0));
       text_setstyle(newtext,2,1);

       If GetBackGroundColor=Tool_White then Value4=Text_SetColor(newtext,
          Tool_Red)
       Else Value4=Text_SetColor(newtext, Color); {changes numbers to red for
          white charts.}
    end;
end;

if false then plot1(C,"");
