Nicholas,
I think that the use of inactivity stop is an easy way to close your
position after 3 days.
If you use Barssince to exit from an entry condition like, for example,
the CLOSE is greater than the simple 200 days moving average, and you
have :
Barssince(C>mov(C,200,s) = 3
...to exit after 3 days.
If after 1 or 2 days, the Close is under the SMA, the count with
Barssince return to zero and it's only after the CLOSE will be greater
than the SMA that the function Barssince will start to count again, so
the position can be closed after 5, 20 or maybe 179 days later...
