    Hi @carlopierri

    Save the exit conditions (SL, TP, custom close) in a consolidated exit variable

    exit_bull_cond = exit_bull_SL or exit_bull_TP or exit_bull_custom

    And then use the barssince function

    skip_condition = barssince(exit_bull_cond) <= 5
if not skip_condition // there was a close trade after 5 candles
    // strategy.entry("Long", true, ...)
