Thanks Roy.
Unfortunatly it does not work.
Here's the full code. Thanks again,
Juan

LookBack := 34;

Resistance :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C, LookBack,S),C),HHV(H, LookBack));

Support :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(C,Mov(C, LookBack,S)),LLV(L, LookBack));

R1:=Resistance;

S1:=Support;



sigtl:=If(L>R1,1,0);

sigts:=If(H<S1,1,0);

rsttl:=If(H<R1,1,0);

rstts:=If(L>S1,1,0);

itl:=Cum(sigtl+rsttl>-1)=1;

its:=Cum(sigts+rstts>-1)=1;

rmbtl:=BarsSince(sigtl OR itl)<BarsSince(rsttl OR itl);

rmbts:=BarsSince(sigts OR its)<BarsSince(rstts OR its);

stlong:=If(HHV(H,LastValue(PREV+
BarsSince(rmbtl=0)-PREV))-ATR(6)*2.5<C,1,0);

stlong;
