I use this formula to be LONG: FILTER:= ADX(13) >15; FILTER1:= PDI(13) > MDI(13); B:=Ref(1.02*LLV(L,42),-1); A1:=Ref(0.98*HHV(H,42),-1); mi:=(A1+B)/2; LE:=C>=Mi; SE:=C<mi; (LE>SE) AND FILTER AND FILTER1 I’d like to modify this formula in order to close long position even when I have 5 consecutive days with ADX(13) < REF(ADX(13),-1) AND not to get in long as soon as I have my long condition verified AND (this time) ADX(13) > REF(ADX(13),-1). To count consecutive bars with ADX(13) < REF(ADX(13),-1) I use this formula: FR:=ADX(13)<Ref(ADX(13),-1); TrendUp:=Mov(H*1.02,3,VOL)>Mov(H,30,VOL); B:=Mov(Ref(1.02*LLV(L,42),0),3,VOL); A1:=Mov(Ref(0.98*HHV(H,42),0),3,VOL); mi:=(A1+B)/2; LE:=C>=Mi; SE:=C<mi; Cond:= If(TrendUp AND FR,LE>SE,0); Count:=If(PREV=0,If(Cond,1,0),If(Cond,PREV+1,0)); Cntdwn:=If(Ref(Count,-1)>=5,0,Count); Cntdwn Let’s call it FILTER_TRADE_LONG Can anyone help me? I got crazy with this.. #-o Second question: I’m looking to a valid filter to isolate congestion (non trending periods) avoiding noises. Any valid suggestion? I use FILTER and FILTER1. They work fine but false signal are, in some situation, too noising. many thank'sin advance

Thank’s wabbit. Your code is much better.. I modified my long entry signal like this: TREND:=Mov(H*1.02,3,VOL)>Mov(H,30,VOL); COUNT:=BarsSince(ADX(13) >= Ref(ADX(13),-1)); FILTER:= ADX(13) >15; FILTER1:= PDI(13) > MDI(13); B:=Ref(1.02*LLV(L,42),-1); A1:=Ref(0.98*HHV(H,42),-1); mi:=(A1+B)/2; LE:=C>=Mi; SE:=C<mi; If(TREND AND FILTER AND FILTER1 AND COUNT<5,(LE>SE),0) Now what I’d like to get, if possible, is: Once I close long position because BarsSince(ADX(13) >= Ref(ADX(13),-1))=5 is verified, next long signal should take place only if ADX(13) > Ref(ADX(13),-1) About a filter for non trending markets. I mean avoiding situation like this As you can see before having a valid buy signal I get 5 consecutive false signal (in this chart blue is buy, yellow sell).
