How about something like this for the array route:
 
setup = cross(bbandbot( c, 20, 2), c);
wait = iif(barssince(setup) < 6, 1, 0);

hi, what the code below does: it calculates "Setup" which has a "1" where ever C closes below the BBandBOT. Then I subject the array "Setup" to the loop. When inside the "i" loop and it finds a "1" then it enters the "j" loop and will make a number of "waitPeriod" bars "0" that follow the "1" bar at bar "i". When finished with the "j" loop I tell it that i = j so that it enters the "i" loop at the value of "j" etc.
 
So basicly if a "1" is found in the array "Setup" it zeros out the next "waitPeriod" bars.  I do not know of an array based calculation in AFL that could do it more simple.
 
 
SetBarsRequired(10000,10000);

triggerPercentage = 1.03;
waitPeriod = 15;

Setup = C < BBandBot(C,20,2);

for (i = 0; i < BarCount - waitPeriod; i++) {

   if (Setup[ i ]) {

      for (j = i + 1; j < i + waitPeriod; j++) {
      
         Setup[ j ] = 0;
      
      }

      i = j;

   }

}

Edward
Would you mind translating into plain English the for - if loop
please? I've looked at the examples in the user's guide but I can't
follow the AFL.
Thanks
