```
a=endpointaverage[x] (close)

if a[1]<a then
alex=200
endif

if a[1]>a then
alex=100
endif

if longonmarket then
a=1
endif
if shortonmarket then
a=2
endif


if alex crosses over 150 and countofposition=0  then
exitshort at market
buy at market
b= currenttime
endif

if alex crosses under 150 and countofposition=0 then
sell at market
sellshort at market
b= currenttime
endif

SET TARGET $PROFIT 10
SET STOP $LOSS 200

if a=1 and b+010000 = currenttime then
sell at market
endif

if a=2 and b+010000 = currenttime then
exitshort at market
endif

Just add this to your code
```
if onmarket and (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >=barnumber then
sell at market
exitshort at market
endif
```
Insert instead of “bar number” your desired quantity; keeping in mind that based on the timeframe of the strategy you have to calculate how many “bar numbers” you need to preset the position stop.

i.e.: on a 5min strategy, 5 bar numbers will be equivalent to 25 minutes.
