How to count entries?

I tried the following code:

//@version=5
strategy("BarUpDn Strategy")
var sequenceNumber = 0
var previousPositionSize = strategy.position_size
if (close > open and open > close[1])
    strategy.entry("BarUp", strategy.long, alert_message='['+str.tostring(sequenceNumber)+']')
    if strategy.position_size != previousPositionSize
        sequenceNumber := sequenceNumber + 1
        previousPositionSize := strategy.position_size
if (close < open and open < close[1])
    strategy.entry("BarDn", strategy.short, alert_message='['+str.tostring(sequenceNumber)+']')
    if strategy.position_size != previousPositionSize
        sequenceNumber := sequenceNumber + 1
        previousPositionSize := strategy.position_size

sequenceNumber does not work as expected.

I would expect the sequence like: 1,2,3,4 without gaps, instead I find 1,2,2,4,4,6. Like calculations happened concurrently.

How to properly count entries without gaps?

You can use the built-in variables strategy.opentrades or strategy.closedtrades depending on your needs.
