Coding something happening in the last 5 periods

  Hi everyone,

  Is it possible to code something happening in the last 5 periods???

  Example:

  IF MM6 Crosses over MM5 (in any of the last 5 candles)  AND close>MM6 THEN

  I am trying to BUY when two or more conditions occur, but in some cases all of them happen within the last 3-5 candles.

  Thanks in advance,

  Juan

  if condition1 then signalindex=intradaybarindex endif if condition2 and intradaybarindex-signalindex<=5 then buy 1 contract at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if condition1 then signalindex=intradaybarindex endif if condition2 and intradaybarindex-signalindex<=5 then buy 1 contract at market endif

  This should do it.

  You may try this one:

  . . . IF summation[5]((Average[6] CROSSES OVER Average[5]) AND (close > Average[6])) > 0 THEN . . . ENDIF . . .

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  . . . IF summation[5]((Average[6] CROSSES OVER Average[5]) AND (close > Average[6])) > 0 THEN . . . ENDIF . . .
