**TDS9 Counting (Red & Blue, Offset Labels)**
This indicator implements a sequential counting method to help traders identify potential exhaustion points in ongoing trends. It tracks sequences of price closes relative to the prior 4 bars, building up to a **9‑count structure** that often signals areas where momentum may be weakening and a reversal or pause could occur.

The script automatically labels counts **6 through 9** directly on the chart, with clear **color‑coded markers**:
- **Red numbers** for downward sequences (bearish setups)
- **Dark blue numbers** for upward sequences (bullish setups)
- A **red “9”** highlights a potential exhaustion point in an uptrend, while a **blue “9”** marks exhaustion in a downtrend

To maintain chart clarity, labels are **offset slightly above or below candles** using dynamic spacing, ensuring signals remain visible without overlapping price action. This makes it easy to track the progression of counts in real time while keeping the chart clean and readable.

By combining structured sequential logic with intuitive visual cues, this tool helps traders:
- Monitor developing **trend exhaustion patterns**
- Anticipate potential **reversal or consolidation zones**
- Add a **systematic layer of confirmation** to existing strategies
- Keep charts uncluttered with offset, color‑coded labels

Whether you’re a discretionary trader looking for exhaustion confirmation or a systematic trader layering signals into a broader strategy, this indicator provides a **clear, structured framework** for spotting potential turning points in price action.
