Voyager, What I published earlier is logically equivalent to IIF and works fine. In both cases, you just need to use a large enough offset to actually see the position get held for a few bars.
Prabhu, An important detail is that in both examples, you should be setting the BuyPrice to Close (either in code or in AA Settings), else to Open with trade delays set to 1. As an aside, using a fixed offset like this will often hurt results, since it does not take into consideration the natural volatility of the symbol. Might be better to use a multiple of ATR if going that route.
