Indicator crossover count (please help)

[petrugio]

Hi
I'm a newbie with ninjascript and with coding in general
I'm trying to put some ideas into code

I want the strategy to place the trade only for the first 2 retrace of price and stochastic
after there is a crossover in the 2 ema's
I know I'm doing something wrong

Any ideas on how i can approach this?

private EMA EMA1;
private SMA SMA1;
private Stochastics Stochastics2;
private bool firstretrace = false;
private bool secondretrace= false;
protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                FastEMA                    = 15;
                SlowSMA                    = 50;
                StokK                    = 5;
                StokD                    = 3;
                StokS                    = 2;
            }
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {  
            if (CurrentBars[0] < 2 || CurrentBars[1] < 1)
            return;
            
            if ((CrossBelow(Stochastics2.K, 20, 1))
                && (Close[0] < EMA1[0])
                &&(EMA1[0] > SMA1[0]))
                {
                    firstretrace = true;
                }    
            if ((firstretrace == false)
                && (Close[0] < EMA1[0])
                && (CrossBelow(Stochastics2.K, 20, 1))
                &&(EMA1[0] > SMA1[0]))
                {
                    secondretrace = true;
                }        
              
             // Long
            if ((CrossAbove(Stochastics2.K, Stochastics2.D, 1))
                
                //&& (EMA1[0] > SMA1[0])
                 && (firstretrace == true) || (secondretrace == true)
                
                 && (Stochastics2.D[0] < 50)
                 && ((Stochastics2.K[1] < 20)
                 || (Stochastics2.D[2] < 20))
                          
                 && (Close[0] > SMA1[0]))
                {
                EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"Long");
                firstretrace = false;
                secondretrace= false;    
                
                }
            
                
        }
