When you use Harmonic Trading in order to get your AB=CD set-up (and the other patterns). You have to look for symmetry. For i.e. if you get a wave from point A to B that contains 10 bars, then the C to D wave is equal to that 60 % of the time.
You can simply do this in NT by drawing a line, measuring A to B and then copy and paste that line in order to project C to D:

Because indicators, if used as a tool and in the right context can facilitate some things in trading. I came with the idea that an indicator maybe can count bars for you, in order to identify the symmetry easier. That's when I found Mike's "swing temp".

That one, does indeed count, but it counts ticks or points. Now, in order to use it in Harmonic Trader, it needs to count bars instead.
Is there any kind soul out there, that could make it count bars instead of ticks!
Thank you in advance!

UPDATE:
Through a long line of cooperation, thanks to Cory's nice help and skills, he has managed to create a tool that's measuring a couple of things that can facilitate your trading. The final result can be downloaded from here:

It's not a zip file, it's a cs file. If you don't know how to install it into your NT, go and read post #54 in this thread.
This tool is counting the bars contained in a swing, and it plots the Fibonacci retracements for you. How you implement it into your trading is up to you. It can be used as a visual tool in order to facilitate the observation of the symmetrical relations out there. Please read the entire thread in order to get a greater understanding of how to use it.
