Smart Bar Counter with Alerts

🚀 Smart Bar Counter with Alerts 🚀
-----------------------------------------------------
Overview
-----------------------------------------------------
Ever wanted to count a specific number of bars from a key point on your chart—such as after a Break of Structure (BOS), the start of a new trading session, or from any point of interest—without having to stare at the screen?
This "Smart Bar Counter" indicator was created to solve this exact problem. It's a simple yet powerful tool that allows you to define a custom "Start Point" and a "Target Bar Count." Once the target count is reached, it can trigger an Alert to notify you immediately.
-----------------------------------------------------
Key Features
-----------------------------------------------------
• Manual Start Point: Precisely select the date and time from which you want the count to begin, offering maximum flexibility in your analysis.
• Custom Bar Target: Define exactly how many bars you want to count, whether it's 50, 100, or 200 bars.
• On-Chart Display: A running count is displayed on each bar after the start time, allowing you to visually track the progress.
• Automatic Alerts: Set up alerts to be notified via TradingView's various channels (pop-up, mobile app, email) once the target count is reached.
-----------------------------------------------------
How to Use
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Add this indicator to your chart.
2. Go to the indicator's Settings (Gear Icon ⚙️).
- Select Start Time: Set the date and time you wish to begin counting.
- Number of Bars to Count: Input your target number.
3. Set up the Alert ([u]Very Important![/u]).

-----------------------------------------------------
Use Cases
-----------------------------------------------------
• Post-Event Analysis: Count bars after a key event like a Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) to observe subsequent price action.
• Time-based Analysis: Use it to count bars after a market open for a specific session (e.g., London, New York).
