Hi

can you help ?

Thomas79,

You can use BarsSinceEntry(). Please find an example below.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{ 
    if (CurrentBar < 20) 
        return; 
 
    // Only enter if at least 10 bars has passed since our last entry
    if (BarsSinceEntry() > 10 && CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
         EnterLong();
}

For more information, please see the following link.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
