Dave,
It is quite easy then. Just filter buy/short signals this way:
OkToTrade = BarIndex() > 300; // start trading when there are 300 bars available
Buy = .. your rule
Short = ... your rule
Buy = OkToTrade AND Buy;
Short = OkToTrade AND Short;
As for SetBarsRequired: as written in the guide: it is relevant to INDICATOR formulas
that use either 3rd party DLLs or parts in script when QuickAFL is enabled.
What is QuickAFL is described in the User's Guide, just do search for QuickAFL.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
