Can someone help me answer how do I give a point to a variable?

Example) If SAR changes direction in the past 10 days assign variable to 1

/* Parabolic SAR cross last 10 days */
set ParSarVar = 1 if Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2) crossed below close within last 10 days

Thanks

Try this, it may be to your liking.
Fetcher[
set{psarx, count(Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2) crossed below close within last 10 days,1)}

draw Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)
draw psarx

dow 30
]

Not exactly. I would code it this way:

Fetcher[

set{psarx, count(Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2) crossed below close,10)}
psarx above 0.5
draw Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2)
draw psarx
dow 30
]



This way should give you a signal for any time within the last 10 days that the cross below occurred. I get 23 results where your code gave all 30 stocks - note that CSCO, JNJ, KO, MRK, PFE, TRW, and XOM all had crossovers more than 10 days ago but still show up in your screen.
