Hi Pete,  I have this code that shows the change in direction of the candles is it possible to plot only the last 2 arrows? if not then plot  only in last ten candles? I don want to see then all over the chart. Thanks for your time

plot uptrendbreak = close > open and close[1] < open[1] and close [2] < open[2] and close[3] < open [3];
plot downtrendbreak = close < open and close[1] > open[1] and close[2] > open[2] and close[3] > open [3];
uptrendbreak.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
uptrendbreak .SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);
downtrendbreak .SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
downtrendbreak .SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);

In order to do this you need to separate each of your plot statements into two pieces.

This:

plot uptrendbreak = close > open and close[1] < open[1] and close [2] < open[2] and close[3] < open [3];
plot downtrendbreak = close < open and close[1] > open[1] and close[2] > open[2] and close[3] > open [3];

Becomes this:

def brokenUptrend = close > open and close[1] < open[1] and close [2] < open[2] and close[3] < open[3];
plot uptrendbreak = IsNaN(close[-10]) and brokenUptrend;
def brokenDowntrend = close < open and close[1] > open[1] and close[2] > open[2] and close[3] > open[3];
plot downtrendbreak = IsNaN(close[-10]) and brokenDowntrend;

I think that should do it. I haven't tested it so give it a try and let us know if it works.
