[amibroker] Re: Buysignal + wait

Hi GP
Both good points. I'm afraid I'm at the start of my learning curve 
on AFL.
1. Triggerpoint is supposed to be the value at the Longsetup. 
2. No, of course, would not want to buy if a stop had been triggered 
in the meantime. Suppose would want to enter within 5 bars.
How should code be amended?
Here's my attempt:

Longsetup = xxx;
period = 5;
Triggerpoint = ValueWhen (Longsetup, HHV(H,3));
Buy = Cross(H,Triggerpoint) AND BarsSince (Longsetup)<=period AND 
Sell == 0;

What do you think?
