Price Drop CounterThe Price Drop Counter is a very basic statistical indicator.
See it as an analytical tool that tracks how many times an asset's price has dropped by a specified percentage from its recent peak within a defined date range.
The indicator monitors the highest price reached and counts each occurrence when the price falls by your chosen threshold, then resets its peak tracking point after each drop is registered.
Uses
Volatility Assessment: Measure how frequently significant price corrections occur during specific periods
Market Behavior Analysis: Compare drop frequency across different timeframes or market conditions
Risk Evaluation: Identify assets or periods with higher downside volatility
Historical Pattern Recognition: Study how often major pullbacks happened during bull or bear markets
Backtesting Support: Analyze how your strategy would perform based on the frequency of drawdowns
How to use it
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
Configure the Percent Drop (%) to define your threshold (default: 10%). The indicator will count each time price falls by this percentage from the most recent high
IMPORTANT Set your Start Date and End Date to analyze a specific period of interest
The blue step-line plot shows the cumulative count of drops within your date range
Adjust the percentage threshold based on your analysis needs - use smaller values (2-5%) for more frequent signals or larger values (15-20%) for major corrections only
The counter resets its high-water mark after each qualifying drop, allowing it to track multiple sequential drops within the same period.
