BARS_SINCE

This function lets you specify the minimum or maximum number of chart bars that must exist between the last occurrence of a given event (buy/sell order opening) and the current chart bar.

Syntax
bars_since(order_event)
Parameters order_event Order event. It can be any of these keywords: BUY, SELL or ANY.
BUY Extracts number of chart bars since last buy order opening bar.
SELL Extracts number of chart bars since last sell order opening bar.
ANY Extracts number of chart bars since last buy or sell order opening bar.
Single-sided No
Notes This function must be combined with VAL   function in order to perform numeric comparisons.
Example bars_since(BUY)>VAL(5)
This example tells JedeyeFX that for the condition to be true, there must be at least more than 5 chart bars without any buy order opened since the bar where the last opened buy order did occur. This ensures that buy orders will open with a minimum interval of 5 bars between them.
