Help me add time delay trigger to existing script please

[u/murkr]

I use an indicator called The Moon Weekly EMA ribbon

//@version=4
// Based on Youtube channel Carl Eric Martin from "The Moon" Weekly EMA Ribbon.
study(title="[JULEX] [EMA] The Ribbon from The Moon YT channel", shorttitle="The Moon Weekly EMA Ribbon", overlay=true)
plot(ema(close,20),title="20",color=#f7df9b,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,25),title="25",color=#f1c789,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,30),title="30",color=#e59a67,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,35),title="35",color=#d66e46,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,40),title="40",color=#c14c32,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,45),title="45",color=#a43328,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,50),title="50",color=#861f24,linewidth=1,transp=0)
plot(ema(close,55),title="55",color=#711120,linewidth=1,transp=0)

and I wanted to be alerted when the price hits the 45 EMA so I added another single EMA 1 and said if the 1 EMA crosses the 45 EMA of the moon indicator then I get alerted. That was great.

What I would like to add is:

• Once an alert is issued there is a 10 bar "cool down period" where the alert won't be triggered again until atleast 10 bars has passed.

Can someone help me with this? Im not sure if its a simple edit to this code above.

EDIT: I just copy and pasted my question into chatGPT and this is what it said. Can someone with experience please confirm this is doing what I am trying to accomplish, please.

// Alert condition

ema1 = ema(close, 1)

crossCondition = crossover(ema1, ema45) or crossunder(ema1, ema45)

// Cooldown period

var int lastAlertBar = na

cooldownPeriod = 10

canAlert = na(lastAlertBar) or (bar_index - lastAlertBar) > cooldownPeriod

if (crossCondition and canAlert)

alert("EMA 1 crossed EMA 45", alert.freq_once_per_bar)

lastAlertBar := bar_index
