Hey! I am tyring to figure out how to sell something on the same condition more then once on a 1 minute chart. For example If Price crosses below 9EMA sell 50% of my shares. If it has been more then 15 bars since price corssed below 9 EMA and then does it again sell 50% of my shares. Thanks!

Here is the main logic of what I would code. This assumes that you will sell the balance of your position if the Price is still below 9EMA

If Price crosses below 9EMA AND Var_sharestosell = 100
then begin
sell 50% of my shares;
Var_barnumber = bar number + 15;
Var_sharestosell = 50;
end;

If Price below 9EMA AND bar number >= Var_barnumber AND Var_sharestosell = 50
then begin
sell 50% of my shares;
Var_sharestosell = 0;
end;

// at some point in your code Var_sharestosell will have to be reset to = 100 .... likely when you buy
// This is far from complete but it is a start ...
