Hello Rolf,

in this example the event is the moving average[20] crossing over the moving average[40].

The event is valid ( event =1) for “X” bars. You can set the variable eventtime to define the number of bars.

You can use the PRT Assistant to create the screener for event=1.
```
////timeframe for the event
eventtime = X


ind1 = Average[20](close)
ind2 = Average[40](close)

c1 = ind1 crosses over ind2

if c1 then
event = 1
eventindex = barindex
endif

if barindex - eventindex < eventtime then
event = 1
elsif barindex - eventindex > eventtime then
event = 0
endif


return event as "event"
```
