SkipPeriods

I would like to have a strategy that can hold several positions of different stocks at the same time. If there is an entry, I would like to hold the position for a minimum of n days.

- is the correct way to implement this is by using SkipPeriods(n) in Money Management?
It is not clear to me whether this method affects only the symbol that just entered the position, or it will affect all symbols, and all trading will stop for n days.

- if I would like to implement this in the strategy itself, is there a simple command for this?

Using Money Management:
In "OnClosePosition", type:

if(Functions.GetPositionDetails().BarsSinceEntry < 10)
{
Functions.DontCloseTheCurrentPosition();
}

Using Strategy Rules:

Example:
buy = rsi(14) > 70;
buy = RemoveSameSignals(buy);
sell = rsi(14) < 40 and barssince(buy) >= 10;
