Hi Dr. Bill,
I just wondered how to sign the idiom "count on" which means to rely or to
depend on someone or something. In this case, do I use the sign for count (as in
counting money) with your F-handshape sliding forward your base hand in a flat
handshape? or should I use the sign for "depend on / rely" instead?

Jose,
For sure you should use DEPEND to mean "count on."
The COUNT sign doesn't mean or indicate "reliability" at
all.
