Indicator shall return value just on certain bars

  I programmed this simple indicator to show buy/sell triggers after an inside bar. But i want this lines to show only for say 4 bars after the inside bar occurred. After this the lines shall disappear and the indicator shall not display anything until it detects the next inside bar.

  I hade this problem before that i want an indicator to stop returning a value but i do not know how. Setting the returned value to zero makes the lines disappear but distorts the whole chart (no good solution).

  Inside Bar

  if high<high[1] and low>low[1] and range[1]>=SignalBar*pipsize then triggerup=high+pipsize triggerdown=low-pipsize endif RETURN triggerup as "TriggerUp", triggerdown as "TriggerDown"

  1 2 3 4 5

  if high<high[1] and low>low[1] and range[1]>=SignalBar*pipsize then   triggerup=high+pipsize   triggerdown=low-pipsize endif RETURN triggerup as "TriggerUp", triggerdown as "TriggerDown"

  Setting the returned value to zero should not distort the chart if you set your horizontal price scale to use price only (look into the price settings).
