  mov.avg.col

  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

  1 2 3 4

  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.
