hey biandi..... seems something is missing in your sentence, If the closure is close to three times greater than mov (c, 50, w) .....

unless we are talking about penny stocks, it would rare for the closing price to ever be 3 times the moving average .....h

hey biandi....... there are several ways to code that.... the 'barsince' function would be one way..... it has always been easier for me to use functions that are easy to visualize.... barssince is a perfect example.....

below is a quick shot where the moving average periods is adjustable and also your 'three times' limit setting..... just in case you might want to close above ma for 10 times.....

have you thought of perhaps using 1 and 0 instead of +1 and -1..... maybe then you could incorporate the close less than moving average into the same indicator.... 1 when it's above and -1 when it's below..... just a thought......h

//-----------------------------

pds:=Input("periods",2,100,50);
limit:=Input("bars since close",1,200,3);

a:= C < Mov(C,pds,S);

If( BarsSince(a ) > limit,1,-1) {instead of -1 maybe 0}
