Detect if a condition happened within last 5 bars

We are attempting to develop a script that basically
says : If there was a RSI(C,2) cross of 25 level within the last 5 bars,
continue to conditions 2.

I have been attempting this with the BACKSET
command which compiles but does generate
any signals and shows NaN in the event window.

You could use BARSSINCE. Here’s an example:

Code: Select all

rsicross: CROSS(RSI(C,2), 25);
bscross: BARSSINCE(rsicross);

cond1: bscross < 5;
