Dennis- There are two ways that I know of.  Let's say you're going
long and want to exit after 5 bars.

1. This exits after 5 bars and removes redundant signals.
Buy = Your buy code here;
Buy = ExRemSpan( Buy, 5 );
Sell = Ref( Buy, -5 ); 

2. This is a 5 bar stop.
ApplyStop( stopTypeNBar, stopModeBars, 5 ); 

#1 will work when backtesting and doing an exploration.  #2 works when
backtesting but if you want to use it for an exploration you need to
add another line: Equity(1);

Be careful when adding Equity(1) after ExRemSpan.  For some reason it
can negate an X bar exit in certain cases. I'm not sure why.  In any
event, I strongly recommend that you test your code to make sure
you're getting what you want.
