How to express this condition (shift)

[line]

Hi: Looking for help in expressing a shift condition.

If condition happened 1 bar ago, I would put "1" in Candle ID. But how do I express a range of bars, for instance if the condition happened between 1 and 5 bars ago?

Thanks for any advice!

It depends on what you want to know within that range. Was it a crossing up or down? Then you can use a 'Condition' block with the specific candle ID on both operands and the appropriate symbol linking them.

If not, mor detailed info would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. An example would be if a stochastic hit 80 within bars 1 through 10 ago, could be bar 1, 2, 3, etc.

If this condition is true and another indicator is showing true then take trade. Hope that is clear.

I suppose a series of OR condition blocks could work, 1st block Candle ID 1, 2nd block Candle ID 2 etc.

Thanks again.

This is one possible way to do it:

This block is looking for the previous 10 bars, from candle ID 10 (ten bars ago) to candle ID 1 (the bar immediately previous to the current one. Notice that I had to specify the cross width as 9, becuase that's the range being considered.

@l-andorrà So that's what the cross width does... width = range? Didn't know that. Thanks. I thought it's a line width... and didn't use this feature.
