Hi:
Caught this Trend Change system from an old Tradestation video from Omega.
 
Hi:
Caught the following on an old Tradestation video from Omega:
 
Buy signal when:
 Today's Low is lower than the lowest Low of past 6 days
 AND
 Today's Close is Greater Than Yesterday's Close.
 
Sell signal when:
 If Bars Since Entry = 7 then Sell on Close.
 
How would one code the Sell signal ? It's got me (AFL newbie)
scraching my head. As an aside, I think this Sell signal could be
useful when combined with other entry systems (crossover etc). I'm
interested in playing around with different values for Bars Since Entry. 

Here's what I've coded with AFL so far:

b=0; 
donothing=0;
IIf (Low < LLV(Low, 6) AND Close > Ref(Close, -1), b=1,donothing);
Buy = b==1;
Sell = BarsSince (b==1) > 6; 
 
Get Buy signals (even though there are too many - it's at least it's a
start), but cannot get any Sell signals. 
 
Thanks in advance for any hints and or suggestions.
