Post From: Simple automated trading-strategy

Hello.

I can not quite figure out how to program what should be quite a simple automated trading strategy. My strategy goes as follows: Buy when the CLOSE of a price-bar is higher than the OPEN of a price-bar, 4 bars in a row. Then sell when the CLOSE of a price-bar is lower than the OPEN of a price-bar, 2 bars in a row.

The same goes for taking a short-position: Short when the CLOSE of a price-bar is lower than the OPEN of a price-bar, 4 bars in a row. Then close the short-position when the CLOSE of a price-bar is higher than the OPEN of a price-bar, 2 bars in a row.

I am quite new to the SierraCharts platform, and a simple instruction to creating such an automated trading-strategy in the Spreadsheet System for Trading would be much appreciated.
