[amibroker] Simple MA system backtesting

["cristianc22" <cristianc22@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would really appreciate some suggestions or ideas. 
My system is very simple, one long MA, one short MA. Buy retracements 
below the short MA in an uptrend (shortMA>longMA), opposite for a 
downtrend.
I have a loop for entering and exiting the position - see below.

My question is - How can I enter only the first retracement to the 
short MA and ignore the rest of the waves in a trend? As is, I get 
few entries (and exits). 

Thank you,
Chris
