Are you saying that if you define your entry criteria as 8, then if the last 8 bars are up bars then it will buy at the open of the ninth bar? To let you know, I have analyzed the crap out of bar data and can tell you that over time there is a 50% chance that the next bar will be an up bar and a 50% chance it will be a down bar, regardless of how many of the previous bars were consecutively up or down, i.e. the probabilities are always the same as flipping a coin. To account for the overall change in price, there is a very small differential in the percentages and/or average size of the bars, but nothing that can be readily exploited after consideration of slippage and commissions.

That said, you can create this easily using the strategy wizard, just add a condition that Close > Open 1 bar ago, then add another condition for 2 bars ago, etc.

Maybe try this:

 
Code
inputs: TP$(100), SL$(100), _BackBars(5);
variable: quantity(1), nBars(0);

For nBars = 0 to _BackBars begin
	if H[nBars] > H[nBars + 1] then begin
		condition1 = true;
	end	
	else begin
		condition1 = false;
	break;
	end;
end;
For nBars = 0 to _BackBars begin
	if H[nBars] < H[nBars + 1] then begin
		condition2 = true;
	end	
	else begin
		condition2 = false;
	break;
	end;
end;

if condition1 then begin
	Buy quantity contracts Next Bar At market;
end;

if condition2 then begin
	SellShort quantity contracts Next Bar At market;
end;		

setstopposition;
setprofittarget(TP$);
setstoploss(SL$);
