[amibroker] Re: How To Code "...three or fewer bars ago"?

What about:

Buy = ... AND BarsSince(Cross(Close, MA(Close, 15)) <= 3;

Or would that fail due to comparing an array (BarsSince) to a scaler 
(3)? If that's the case you could wrap it in a zero offset Ref as:

Buy = ... AND Ref(BarsSince(Cross(Close, MA(Close, 15)), 0) <= 3;

I haven't tested this. But, assuming that it does work and that 
Bill's suggestion works, it would boil down to personal preference. 
All depends on which you find more "readable".
