I'm not sure that I entirely understand your question. But, try
something like this:
per = 10;
xxx = High - Low; // Use any expression you want
diff = 0;
cont = NZ(null, null);
currentBar = BarCount - 1;
firstBar = max(0, currentBar - per);
for (bar = currentBar - 1; bar >= firstBar; bar--) {
if (xxx[bar] > diff) {
diff = xxx[bar];
cont[bar] = (currentBar - bar);
} else {
diff = iif(bar > firstBar, xxx[bar - 1], 1);
cont[bar] = cont[bar + 1];
}
}
Plot(xxx, "XXX", colorBlue, styleBar);
Plot(cont, "CONT", colorRed, styleStaircase | styleOwnScale);
