Hi,

If you mean that for each symbol tested, you cannot allow a Buy before 
that particular symbol has had at least 2 years of history, then you 
can add logic to your buy condition to that effect.

e.g.
Assuming 252 trading days/year (USA markets), you can include a 
condition that at least 252 * 2 = 504 days have passed.

Try something like the following (untested) code which is assuming EOD 
data:

History = Cum(1);
Buy = History >= 504 AND ...; // fill in your buy logic here.
