| PureBytes Links Trading Reference Links | Hi Rich -- 
 See if this helps.  You may not need a loop.
 
 /////////////////////////////////
 
 // buy_breakout.afl
 //
 
 Lookback = Optimize( "Lookback", 5, 1, 10, 1 );
 HoldDays = Optimize( "HoldDays", 1, 1, 5, 1 );
 
 Buy = H == HHV( H, Lookback );
 Sell = BarsSince( Buy ) >= HoldDays;
 
 
 /////////////////////////////////
 
 Thanks,
 Howard

            Hello,
 I have a simple "system" as follows;
 
 buy= h==hhv(h,5);
 sell=barssince(buy)=1
 
 Basically buys on the high of the last 5 days. I would like to ammend
 it to buy on the high of either 5,4,3,2 or 1 days (don't worry about
 the logic, it's the principle I'm interested in.)
 
 Is this achieved by looping and would someone be so knd to ammend
 that formula to achieve the required outcome? I want to avoid "or" as
 in relity, the code is much more complicated than above.
 
 I have tried, and failed, to loop this myself.
 
 Thanks in advance for any help,
 Rich
