Currently I have created a backscan where, for buys,
stocks are ranked versus their industry for one month and purchased if in the top decile. Sells are based on a one-month hold time. Therefore, a one-month formation period is followed by a one-month hold.

However, if the stock in question continues to rank highly during the hold period, it will be purchased again once the hold closes out. Thus, buy signals seem to cascade one after another in certain names.

I'd like to institute a period of time following an entry where the name in question cannot be purchased for another, say, 6 months or so. Is this possible?

No way to do this that I know of.
