Script Troubleshooting Needed

I am trying to create a script that counts stock chart candles that are above or below a certain value. specifically, I want my script to sequentially count candles once they are above the 9 simple moving average. When the candle eventually closes below the 9 sma, I want those to be counted also my current script isnt perfect and occasionally give repeating numbers plot(close) indicator("Candle Count", overlay=true) // Source for SMA calculation source = close // Calculate the 9-period SMA sma9 = [login to view URL](source, 9) // Variables for counters and tracking state var int aboveCount = 0 var int belowCount = 0 var bool isAboveSMA = false var bool isBelowSMA = false // Check if the body of the candle (open and close) is above or below SMA and handle counting if close > sma9 and open > sma9 // Both open and close above SMA if not isAboveSMA isAboveSMA := true isBelowSMA := false aboveCount := 1 // Reset to 1 when we start a new count above SMA else aboveCount := aboveCount + 1 // Increment if we're already counting above SMA belowCount := 0 // Reset below count else if close < sma9 and open < sma9 // Both open and close below SMA if not isBelowSMA isBelowSMA := true isAboveSMA := false belowCount := 1 // Reset to 1 when we start a new count below SMA else belowCount := belowCount + 1 // Increment if we're already counting below SMA aboveCount := 0 // Reset above count // Plot the 9 SMA for reference plot(sma9, color=[login to view URL], linewidth=2, title="9 SMA") // Label each candle above the high with slight offset, using brilliant white text if isAboveSMA [login to view URL](bar_index, high + (high * 0.001), text=[login to view URL](aboveCount), color=[login to view URL]([login to view URL], 80), textcolor=[login to view URL], style=label.style_none) else if isBelowSMA [login to view URL](bar_index, high + (high * 0.001), text=[login to view URL](belowCount), color=[login to view URL]([login to view URL], 80), textcolor=[login to view URL], style=label.style_none)
