For example if we export a strategy tested for the period between May 2006 and May 2009 then the filter we&#039;ve created will have signals only for bars inside that period (regardless of their length - 1day, 1hour, 15min etc). So even if we add new data, for June 2009 for example, no signals will be raised for the extra data after May 2009. That is why we&#039;ll call the exported strategy a static filter/indicator.</em>&quot;</p><p>Please give me more information. If this filtering method is available only for backtesting or it is also usable in FST for real trading ?</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This new feature in Forex Strategy Builder can be useful in testing multicurrency and multiperiod strategies.</p><p>The idea is that we prepare a strategy and after that we export its signals to a static external filter. </p><p>Latter we can use this filter in other strategies. The principle is to trade in the direction of the initial strategy. We achieve that by a single click on the command “Export the Strategy as a Custom Indicator”. It is situated in the Tools Menu -&gt; Custom Indicators.</p><p>Example:<br />Initial Strategy on EURUSD 1D:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.postimage.org/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.postimage.org/aVf9Smr.png" alt="http://www.postimage.org/aVf9Smr.png" /></span></a></p><p>&nbsp; <br />I’ll use this strategy to determine the general trend of EURUSD. I assume that when the strategy opens long position – an uptrend exist and vice versa: when the strategy trades short – there is a downtrend. We see on the Journal that on April 24th and 27th there are short positions and on May 8th – long. </p><br /><p><a href="http://www.postimage.org/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.postimage.org/Pqt3RhJ.png" alt="http://www.postimage.org/Pqt3RhJ.png" /></span></a></p> <br /><p> We export this strategy by pressing the command “Export the Strategy as a Custom Indicator” and save is as “EURUSD Trend”.</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.postimage.org/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.postimage.org/Pqt42Lr.png" alt="http://www.postimage.org/Pqt42Lr.png" /></span></a></p><br /><p>This command will save the strategy as a Custom Indicator and will load it instantly. The new indicator can be found out in the indicator list. It can be used as an “Opening Logic condition”.</p><p>I’ll use it as filter in a USDCHF 4H strategy.</p><p>Since I use EURUSD filter in USDCHF – I have to check the “Reversed signals” options because the currency pairs are opposite.</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.postimage.org/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.postimage.org/aVfc52r.png" alt="http://www.postimage.org/aVfc52r.png" /></span></a></p><br /><p>I can see on the chart that there is a short trade on May 8th (Because the “Reversed signals” option).</p><br /><p> <a href="http://www.postimage.org/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.postimage.org/gx17yh0J.png" alt="http://www.postimage.org/gx17yh0J.png" /></span></a></p><br /><p>It’s important to say that the exported strategy gives “static” signals. They are written in the indicator’s file and are unchangeable.</p><br /><br /><p>See more details on the online help <a href="http://forexsb.com/help/guide/strategy_to_indicator">Export the Strategy as a Custom Indicator</a></p>]]></content>
