Waiting for multiple bars...

[TD-Trader747]

I have this code which is supposed to execute an order when the ema crosses the middle bollenger band && price action closes 2 ticks above the outer band (I also have it cross the outer band to make sure its coming from outside the bands).

Here is the code: (real tight bands)
if (CrossAbove(EMA(Median, x), Bollinger(Median, 0.xx, xx).Lower, 1)
&& CrossAbove(EMA(Median, x), Bollinger(Median, 0.xx, xx).Middle, 1)
&& CrossAbove(Close, Bollinger(Median, 0.xx, xx).Upper, 1))

I think the last line should attempt to fill the order if the price action closes 2 ticks from the outer band.

Two questions:
1. How make the last line close between to values, say 2 and 4 ticks...
2. I want the pending order to cancel if it is not filled within 3 bars or less. Any help with the code would be great?

TD-Trader747, I would suggest moving to the NinjaScript editor for this advanced order placement ideas, you could for example set the order to liveUntilCancelled and then CancelOrder it after 3 bars have elapsed with no fill. If you place limit orders they will be default expire on the next on bar update call, this link provides more detail - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview36.html

Not sure on your first question, maybe you can clarify it - thanks!
