Or, if you want a more stringent test, you could use something like:

if BarsSinceEntry > X and MaxPositionProfit(0) < Y then ...

That way a brief dip into unprofitable territory wouldn't bounce you 
out.  It would only enter if the position NEVER got more than $Y into 
profitability after X bars.
