This is my first experimental SF script using the "Count" feature. I can get my desired results with the MA50 count, but the script falls apart when I try to add an RSI14 (and total-- either 0, 1 or 2) count. Here is my script. Any suggestions?

Retyped from scratch and simplified variable names.
Removed 'multiply by 1'

Thank you, FOUR. Mission accomplished. I added a 3rd indicator (MACD-histogram) to the total mix, using your flow of SF script. I really wanted the MACD-PPO, but the script didn't like it. That's OK... because all I need is when either MACD number is positive or negative. It's the "crossover" that I am concerned with.
As you know, the MACD-Histogram and MACD-PPO [Percent Price Oscillator] have identical crossover points (Histogram is in $ and cents amt; PPO is in % amt).
It is my understanding that...
PPO = MACD histogram(12,26,9) divided by EMA(26).
I use the PPO number in a report I produce so I can compare different stocks on an apples-to-apples basis. Histogram doesn't allow a good comparison... but it works fine on an individual stock.
Without your assistance, I would not have figured out how to make Count work in my desired manner. THANK YOU.

You are very welcome.
I had to check your statement about them being the same and found they are not both MA nor both EMA.
From Indicator page in StockFetcher :
The Percent Price Oscillator (PPO)
is computed by taking the difference between two simple moving averages.
