["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Applying Steve's answer generically, such that you can test different 
periods, you can use the Sum function 
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?name=sum

periods = Optimize("Periods", 2, 2, 5, 1);
Sell = Sum(Close < Ref(Close, -1), periods) == periods;
