If you don't want to buy until the 6th bar, why not just count bars 
and don't issue orders until enough bars have passed?

        if (Date <> Date[1]) then BarsToday = 0;
        BarsToday = BarsToday + 1;
        if (BarsToday >= 5) then buy at highest(high,5) stop;

That will issue the first buy order on the 5th bar, so the first buy 
could happen on the 6th bar.
