Wait X Bars before opening another trade

[Darekl]

Hello,

I'm working on a project that consists of an initial trade based on specific conditions and a Continuation trade in the same direction if the same conditions are met again. What I'm trying t figure out is how to set it so that after the initial trade, the system waits until 2 bars before it considers opening the continuation trade.

Is there a function I'm overlooking where you can set for the system to wait for X bars after the initial trade is placed before the continuation trade is considered. I don't want this to be a time-based restriction because it would be complicated when working with different time frames. I would prefer for it to wait for at least to bars after the initial trade.

Thanks for the help in advance.

@darekl Hello,

I'm not sure if there's a simple block solution but here is an example of how I would do it. The blocks has to be in a specific order to work correctly.
