I'm sorry, I think I'm not explaining myself properly and trying everyone's 
patience.

Let's say this is my code:

code---------
Vars: var1(0);

if condition then var1=var1+1;

if var1>=2 then begin;
buy, sell, etc;
end;
code---------

Let's say condition was met on the first bar. Now var1 has a value of 1.

Next bar if we meet the condition again, I want Var1 to have a value of 2. 
But as the Vars: statement has reinitialized my var1 to 0, the value after 
meeting the condition is again 1, not 2, as the previous value of var1 (1) 
was reinitialized to (0) .

Am I making sense here at all...?
