Is this what you are trying to do?
PlusV=0;
PlusStay=0;
MinusV=0;
MinusStay=0;
PlusStay = C > Ref(C,-1) AND BarsSince(MinusV) > BarsSince(PlusV);
PlusV = C > Ref(C,-1) OR PlusStay;
MinusStay = C < Ref(C,-1) AND BarsSince(MinusV) < BarsSince(PlusV);
MinusV = C < Ref(C, -1) OR MinusStay;
printf("TEst = " + NumToStr(BarsSince (MinusV != Ref(MinusV,-1)), 1.3));
Plot(C, "Close", colorBlack, ParamStyle( "Price Style", styleBar, maskPrice ) );
Plot(plusStay, "PlusStay", colorBlue, styleOwnScale);
Plot(MinusStay, "MinusStay", colorBrown, styleOwnScale);
Plot(PlusV, "PlusV", colorBlue, styleDashed | styleOwnScale);
Plot(MinusV, "MinusV", colorBrown, styleDashed | styleOwnScale);
PlotShapes(plusV * shapeUpArrow, colorGreen, 0, L, -5 );
PlotShapes(MinusV * shapeDownArrow, colorRed, 0, H, -5 );
