Gap Counter

I'm trying to count the number of consecutive daily up or down gaps but having trouble with the code. I'm not sure how to increase or decrease the variables.

Code

vars: 
newday(false),
openingPrice(0),
ydayClose(0),
ydayRange(0),
GapDown(0),
GapUp(0),
GapPresent(0);

// SET VARS
if date[1] < date then begin
	newday=true;
	ydayRange=(HighD(1)-LowD(1));
	ydayClose=CloseD(1);
	openingPrice=OpenD(0);
end;

//GAP COUNTER
if newday and openingPrice < (ydayClose - (ydayRange*0.1)) then begin
         GapDown +=1;
         GapUp = 1;
         GapPresent +=1;
     end;

I think that when ever your code get executed all your var are initialized again, so try using
Intrabarpersists int GapCount(0); ..... so if you set a new value its remain in your vars, then see what are your results,
