  Please update your country flag in your profile. Thank you 🙂

  You can make a test with a summation of successful boolean condition:

  test = summation[120](ma1 crosses over ma2)>0

  1	test = summation[120](ma1 crosses over ma2)>0

  If test returns “1”, it is true that a moving average crossover has occurred within the last 120 candlesticks.

  I came up with…

  // No trade during consolidation if (MA200 crosses under MA400) or (MA200 crosses over MA400) then noTradeBar = barIndex[0] noTrade = 1 endif if (noTradeBar + 120 < barIndex) then noTrade = 0 endif graph noTrade

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  // No trade during consolidation if (MA200 crosses under MA400) or (MA200 crosses over MA400) then noTradeBar = barIndex[0] noTrade = 1 endif   if (noTradeBar + 120 < barIndex) then noTrade = 0 endif   graph noTrade

  But your code looks a bit more compact 🙂 Going to try it out. Thanks!
