Please help me complete this code

  My objective is to initiate a signal when close is less than an EMA for a certain number of bars.

  I have never used FOR/WHILE loops before and need help resetting my counter when a trade is initiated. So far, I can only get it to reach the counter once, enter a trade then every time it closes a trade it will immediately re-open a trade as the counter has not reset.

  Thank you for your help everyone.

  i = 0 ema1 = exponentialaverage[500](close) if not onmarket then orig = 0 endif while close<ema1 and i<11 do i = i+1 if i>10 then buysignal = 1 endif wend if not longonmarket and buysignal = 1 then buy 1 contract at market if orig = 0 then orig = close if i <>0 then i = 0 endif endif else if longonmarket and close>orig*1.02 then sell at market if i <>0 then i = 0 endif else if longonmarket and close<orig*0.98 then sell at market if i <>0 then i = 0 endif endif endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

  i = 0 ema1 = exponentialaverage[500](close) if not onmarket then orig = 0 endif   while close<ema1 and i<11 do i = i+1   if i>10 then buysignal = 1 endif wend     if not longonmarket and buysignal = 1 then buy 1 contract at market if orig = 0 then orig = close if i <>0 then i = 0 endif endif else   if longonmarket and close>orig*1.02 then sell at market if i <>0 then i = 0 endif else if longonmarket and close<orig*0.98 then sell at market if i <>0 then i = 0 endif endif endif endif

  Try replacing lines 7-13 (and you can remove line 1) with these:

  If (summation[11](close<ema1) = 11) then buysignal = 1 Endif

  1 2 3

  If (summation[11](close<ema1) = 11) then    buysignal = 1 Endif

  If you still want to use the WHILE iteration, change line 7 this way:

  while close[i]<ema1[i] and i<11 do

  1	while close[i]<ema1[i] and i<11 do
