🚀 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.


-----------------------------------------------------
