[amibroker] Triggering a buy after setup

["traderkeith2000" <kosborn3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I am trying to generate a BUY signal after a 3 Bar setup where the setup bar is followed by two more bars. The BUY signal occurs when a future (after the two bars) bar CLOSE exceeds the HIGH of the setup bar.

The following code (which I know is wrong) triggers the BUY on the first bar after the two bars after the setup bar.

Buy = H < Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1) < Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H, -2) < Ref(H, -3) AND L > Ref(L,-3) AND Ref(L,-1) > Ref(L, -3) AND Ref(L, -2) > Ref(L, -3);

How do I delay the BUY for a variable number of bars until the next CLOSE exceeds the HIGH of the setup bar.

Thanks.....Keith
