backtest: close short position after 5 days

#1
I have my trading rule to short the index (or long put)
short = cross (MA50, MA10)

I expect to hold 5 days for my short position and close the short position. I dont know how to write it. please help.

I would like to do the backtesting, but it said i don't have buy/sell? please help
