Have you considered going long on the highest high of say, the last x (say 10) bars, and short on the lowest low of the last x bars?

Sid,
 
Any way of measuring the environment when the transitions happen? If you can create a reasonable measurement, you can easily inhibit trades for the duration.

I have a system where there tends to be whipsaws at transition points between Long and Short.  If there has been an uptrend and the system is long when a change occurs where it should go short there are a few bars of confusion where the system goes short/long/short/long and the finally short again for the move down.  A similar thing is happening when the system need to transition from short back to long.

The first thing I thought of is to suppress new trades for a few bars after the first trade of these little groups of whipsaws.  Some sort of BarsSince last trade as a filter.  That may work, but I am not sure how to code that as there seems to be 4 cases of possible transitions, also multiple buys/sells tend to confuse the picture.  How would I code that?

Is there a better way to accomplish the task?
 
Any help is appreciated
Sid
