Testing a condition on a defined number of bars

  Hi,

   

  I cannot figure out how to test if a condition is true in a predefined period or a number of bars. I have been trying to use barIndex with little luck. Can someone please offer some guidance? thank you.

  I’d like to write a code like this:

  IF condition[period] THEN    do_someting ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5

  IF condition[period] THEN      do_someting   ENDIF

  Two cases:

  1. the conditions need to be met on ALL periods
  2. the conditions need to be met on AT LEAST ONE of the periods

  Example 1

  IF summation[period](condition) = period THEN do_someting ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF summation[period](condition) = period THEN    do_someting ENDIF

  Example 2

  IF summation[period](condition) THEN do_someting ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF summation[period](condition) THEN    do_someting ENDIF
