Looked for a solution in the forum but couldn't find it.

I want to buy a stock that has dropped 10% over last 10 days and sell it next close. I've got the code to do that. However, I want to restrict it to the first time this happens and not again for next 30 days. How do I do that ?

Simply put, how do I not buy a stock if I've sold it in the last 30 days.

Thanks

I looked too and could find it! :) Out of curiosity, here's a selection of topics that all point to the same solution in Community Components. Check out the difference in the wording of the same query:

Skip a trade for 15 days after the exit of the last trade
Prevent new entry if position was closed yesterday
No trade for 3 days after last one closed
Wait 3 days for reentry after a StopLoss exit

Thanks Eugene. My bad, I was not using the correct terms for the query.

Glad to help. No problem, just wanted to highlight that finding the correct terms is not trivial in this case exactly.
