Hello AspenHiker,

Thank you for your note.

I've already replied to this via email but I will post this here as well.

What I would recommend in this case would be to create a series to store the current bar index if the Stochastics has a crossover. You can then check to see if this value + 4 or +5 is greater than or equal to the current bar index to make sure the MACD cross also occurs within this time frame, and if so, go long or go short depending on what your logic calls for. I've attached an example strategy that shows how you could set this up in the Strategy Builder.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
