"x days ago" conditional ...can it be back tested?

[Miguel Garcia]

Hello, I' m running an OptionStack trial,  can't find a way to implement an "x days ago" condition...researched the existing days/calendar functions to no avail.

Below the relevant parts, how can I back test this?, tks:

No bearish signal at least x days ago

MACD hist bullish

or

MACD hist below signal line >=6 days ago     

and

Crossed threshold from oversold condition x days ago

Stochastics below 30 1 day ago

and

Stochastics above 35

You can use the LookBack study to reference the state of another study X time periods ago.  The LookBack study can be use to wait X days after a market condition has occurred, before placing a trade.  

For instance, to reference the Stochastic study 1 day ago, you can use LookBack -> Stochastic (1 period)

To simply the logic, you can assign each of these states / conditions into Variable blocks.  

Here is a working example:  Wait X Days After MACD Hist / Signal / Stochastic Example
