Is there an easier way to say this

I want to make a triangle appear on a crossup by +DMI of 25 but only if first there was no crossup of 20 on any of the prior 4 bars.

The only way I can figure the restriction is like this, but is there a more concise way than stating the value needed to be above 20 the last 5 bars (in order to be sure it didnt crossup on that 4th bar back) by writing it for 1 bar back at a time like in red bold below?

if (CrossAbove(DiPlus, 25,1)&& DiPlus[1]<=25 && DiPlus[0]>=DiMinus[0]
&& DiPlus[1]>20 && DiPlus[2]>20 && DiPlus[3]>20 && DiPlus[4]>20 && DiPlus[5]>20 )

simpletrades, you could simplify this if needed with CountIf() - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...6/CountIf.html

thanks, but if i want to draw an ArrowUp instead of make an entry
would it just read
DrawTriangleUp("di+25up" + CurrentBar, false, 0, DiPlus[0]-(1*dist),Color.Lime);

instead of EnterLong(); like in the example?
Examples
// If in the last 10 bars we have had 8 up bars then go long

if(CountIf(delegate {return Close[0] > Open[0];}, 10) > 8) EnterLong();

Sure, you could also draw your triangle as this returns true instead of submitting an entry order, this is just an example how to use the syntax.
