[amibroker] plotshapes problem

[richcb750]

The following formula acts right when I use the commented out PlotText
line.  But if I use the PlotShapes line instead, the shape is plotted
for every bar.  What am I doing wrong with the plotshapes?

Thanks,
Richard

bcount = 0;
bperfect = 0;
for( i = 4; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
{ 
 if(bcount == 9)
 {
        bcount = 0;
        bperfect = 0; 
 }
 if(Close[i] < Close[i-4])
 {
        bcount++;       
        // for perfection, low of 8 or 9 must be less than lows of both 6 and 7
        if(bcount==8)
        {
                if((Low[i] < Low[i-1]) AND (Low[i] < Low[i-2]))
                        bperfect = 1;
        }
        if(bcount==9 AND bperfect==0)
        {
                if((Low[i] < Low[i-2]) AND (Low[i] < Low[i-3]))
                        bperfect = 1;
        }
 }
 else
 {
        bcount = 0;
        bperfect =0;
 }
 if((bcount == 9) AND (bperfect==1)){
        //PlotText( "" + bcount, i, L[ i ]-.10, colorRed ); 
        PlotShapes(shapeDigit9, colorBlue, 0, L[i], -20);       
 }
 else if(bcount){
        PlotText( "" + bcount, i, L[ i ]-.10, colorBlack ); 
 }
}
