[rules-users] Writing a pattern in which each event constraint depends on the previous event

Hello everyone. Lets say we have StockTicks... Is it possible to detect a monotonically decreasing StockTick stream over a window? If I knew the number of events I want to check on, I'd do it this way $a : StockTick() over window:time(20s) $b : StockTick(this after $a, price < $a.price) over window:time(20s) ... But I don't know for how long the StockTick prices continue to decrease.. I imagine doing something like that $list : List(size > 0) from collect(StockTick() over window:time(20s)) forall($a : StockTick() from $list $b : StockTick(this after $a, price < $a.price from $list ) That results in a nice exception. Any idea how to do this work? And more efficiently than my approach?
