barssince

[Hawar-Dzaee]

How can I refer to a previous "barssince".
I know that "barssince" count the candles since the condition was "last time true.

I want to enter a buying order after there have been three consecutive green candles ( twice), as indicated below.

if I set

entry_condtion = barrsince( self.data.close[-1]>self.data.close[-2]>self.data.close[-3])

if entry_condition>0:
`self.buy()

it will open a position at the first instance. I want to open on the second instance.
so my strategy is to (this pattern happens twice) then open a position. and so on.

If this can not be done using "barssince" is there another way to do that??
is there "valuewhen"?

so you would want to have a second flag that says how many times this entry_condition happened?

entry_condtion = barrsince( self.data.close[-1]>self.data.close[-2]>self.data.close[-3]) flag_count = 0

if entry_condition>0:
    flag_count = flag_count + 1
    if flag_count%2==0:
        self.buy()
