I'm trying to write a code for this but am not sure how to go about it

If I had a condition which is true and within 4 bars this condition remains true and the close of the current bar is > SMA(5), EnterLong().

Is there something like a BarSincecondition = true function?

Kay, easiest would be to save the barnumber (CurrentBar) to a variable as the initial condition evaluates to 'true' - then you can compare against the CurrentBar count and place the trade if the difference is greater than you're 4 bars and the SMA condition aligns as well.

Hi Bertrand, to save the barnumber, i would use a double, correct? how would i compare it against the CurrentBar count?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Kay, an int would do, just look at what CurrentBar returns (an integer value).

You can code alongside this untested snippet -

if (myCondition)
myCount = CurrentBar;

int myDiff = CurrentBar - myCount;

if (myDiff >= 4 and myOtherCondition)
EnterLong();

Great! Thx Bertrand!
