How to hide a Vertical Line after number of bars?

[bhtrader]

I am trying to use the AddVerticalLine function to show me when my time-based exit is for my trade. It works great but all of the other past vertical lines are cluttering up my chart. How to hide all vertical lines from greater than 50 bars ago?

I have tried so many things and I can't get it to work. I also searched and couldn't find the answer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

AddVerticalLine(entryTrigger1[timeBasedExit], timeBasedExit + " bars Exit reached ", Color.ORANGE, curve.SHORT_DASH);

AddVerticalLine(entryTrigger1[timeBasedExit], timeBasedExit + " bars Exit reached ", Color.ORANGE, curve.SHORT_DASH);

See if this example helps:

def entrytrigger1 = close crosses expaverage(close,13);
def timebasedexit = 5;
def lastexit = if entryTrigger1[timeBasedExit] then barnumber() else double.nan;
input show_verticals = 50;#Hint show_verticals: show verticals within last x bars of last timebasedexit vertical
AddVerticalLine(barnumber()>=highestall(lastexit-show_verticals) and entryTrigger1[timeBasedExit], timeBasedExit + " bars Exit reached ", Color.ORANGE, curve.SHORT_DASH);

It worked perfectly ! I wasn't aware of HighestAll. Very useful, thanks.
