Wait n bars after stop

[saruhan]

hello
Maybe there is a lot of examples but i could not find..i m newbie
and my aim is wait 12 bars after long and short signal ...like picture
i try to explain on code area

SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);

BuyPrice = O;
ShortPrice = C;

MA1 = MA(C,5);
MA2 = MA(C,25);

LongSig = Cross(MA1,MA2)
ShortSig= Cross(MA2,MA1);

LongStop=RSI(7)>70;
ShortStop=RSI(7)<20;

Buy=LongSig;
Short=ShortSig;

iif(Buy AND LongStop); // ...Stop and wait 12 bars
iif(Short AND ShortStop);....// Stop and wait 12 bars
//after 12 bars continue with active signal (Buy or short)

Looks like your long and short stop variables should be using the CROSS function and then you can pass that result to the BarsSince() function.

@saruhan,

Glad to see you have Verified.

You might be able to use the n-bar Stop in the Apply Stop https://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/applystop.html.
You might be able to use BarsSince http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/barssince.html

The simplest way to do what you want is:

MA1 = MA(C,5);
MA2 = MA(C,25);
BuySetup = Cross( MA1, MA2 );
Buy = BarsSince( BuySetup ) >= 12 AND RSI(7) > 70;

I leave coding for short side to your own excercise.

Thanks for the reply Tomasz

i wanted long and short trade in this code
after every exit signal wait 25 bars
if buy or short signal still same after 25 bars ,enter again exuticon

i did this code...i hope it is correct..(?!) and apologies for this simple and probably redundant question.

function PercentR( periods )
{
 return -100 * ( HHV( H, periods ) - C )/( HHV( H, periods ) - LLV( L, periods ) ); 
}

WR=PercentR( Param("Periods", 14, 2, 100 ));
MA1 = MA(C,5);
MA2 = MA(C,25);
LongSig = MA1>Ref(MA2,-1);
ShortSig=MA2<Ref(MA1,-1);

Buy_savedbar = Valuewhen( LongSig, C, 1 );
Short_savedbar = Valuewhen( ShortSig, C, 1);
Cover= Buy_savedbar AND  WR>=0.00  ; 
Sell= Short_savedbar AND  WR<=-100;
Buy = BarsSince( Cover) >= 12 AND MA1>Ref(MA2,-1);
Short = BarsSince( Sell) >= 12 AND MA2>Ref(MA1,-1);
