Hi Abo
Use Cum("MySignal")=1 AND "MySignal" to capture the first event. I'm not clear which is the signal you're trying to capture the first occurrence of, but there are some things to watch out for or you'll shoot yourself in the foot. Using Cross() in a series of variables will generate additional N/A bars from those variables, and that can make capturing the first event of anything rather precarious. Your Cross(Mov(CLOSE,9,E),Mov(CLOSE,21,S)); should only be defined once, then that variable used instead of repeating the expression and incorporating an extra N/A plot (an unwanted "feature" of the Cross() function).
Once everything that's likely to add an N/A bar has been defined you can create an "Initialisation" variable which can be used by subsequent code to inform you all variables are defined and stable. An "Init" variable is more or less the same concept as the IsDefined() function, but more useful in my opinion.
Using Cross() in Trigger is not a good idea because that immediately adds another N/A bar (N/A bars are cumulative), and I notice you're using Ref() in Signal - another N/A bar generated there I'm afraid.
You can overcome the problem of Ref() generating an N/A bar by substituting ValueWhen(2,1,Trigger) for Ref(Trigger,-1).
The point is that unless all your essential variables start on the same bar, and as early as possible, you really have no control over what is happening around the start of your indicator.
Init:=Cum(Isdefined(Trend+StartTrend+Trigger))=1;
Signal:=Trend AND Trigger AND BarsSince(Init OR ValueWhen(2,1,Trigger)) > BarsSince(Init OR StartTrend);
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Regards
Roy

Hi
I wrote this code...
To catch the first time i hit my goal (which is as an example if the close is 5% more first time siince the signal buy);;
Trend := Mov(C,9,E) > Mov(C,21,S);
StartTrend := Trend AND Cross(Mov(CLOSE,9,E),Mov(CLOSE,21,S));
MyGoal:=ValueWhen(1, Cross(Mov(CLOSE,9,E),Mov(CLOSE,21,S)),C*1.05);
Trigger:=Cross(H,MyGoal);
Signal:= Trend AND Trigger AND BarsSince(Ref(Trigger,-1)) > BarsSince(StartTrend);
Signal;
It works fine except for for all the chart except first time,,,,
Any idea?
