[Programming Help] - ASCIL Trading System simple question

Hi, I've been going through the example trading systems that you provide however I've been struggling with this for quite some time. I've tried to do it with both spreadsheet (using match and index functions) and ASCIL. All I need to do is very simple, I have a signal on a candle, and I want to keep reference to that signal candle and execute trades based on it. Say we have a signal and I want to buy the mid of the candle but I don't don't want to reference just the last candle to check for signal. Signal could still be valid if say the high of the candle was not broken - (so many bars could have elapsed). Am I correct in saying that you cannot have a formula in alert to lookback for something until you find the alert condition or something like this? Could you kindly provide guidance on this please or whether you have something ready. Thank you
