You could count every time the price enters the band and leaves the band.
in = 1
out = 2
in = 3
out = 4
in = 5

If count >4 then trigger.
If count <5 after 8 mins then reset count back to 0.

I guess thats my issue, how I'm counting that. I realise I need to store some values but am getting stumped how i can store that it has entered and then left

I know I can group conditions of stores values i.e: Price was greater than 3.95, less than 4.35 betweeen minutes x and x. AND price was above 4.3 and NOT less than 4.0 in this same time period. But I don't know how to get it to count how many times it has gone in and out of that zone.

If price <4.0 OR >4.3 then set signal to 0.
If price >3.95 AND <4.4 then set signal to 1.
Count the number of signal changes.

Aha, my avoidance of learning signals catching up on me. Will get to that, thank you
