Thanks Krog for all this work again

I will have to play with this to fully understand it
when i look at coding, i tend to follow the logic but the structure or the grammar of it is just eluding me (for now)
i will try not to ask for too much of your time, as it seems like you are helping everyone... i like the Gann project you are working on, it looks promising.
one question,  is it possible to set the a stop loss to an indicator value?  what i have in mind is to use Ross Hook value as a sl and add extra few pips for protection

Hi Krog
I see... hmm  i guess one can always shift the indicator up or down to get the same effect and then use it as a closing ind.
Q.
I was trying to set a tracer as u described  for the Ross Hook Ind, and got this error from  FSB
Line 76 Column 29: 'Forex_Strategy_Builder.Bar' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'.
I assume that i have to define the tracer somewhere as a variable how and where do i do that?
Thanks

yup that did it
Thanks

Does it open trades in backtesting in FSB?

Is the indicator used as an Open Slot (indicator on first slot in strategy), or as an OpenFilter (Bar Opening or Bar Closing in first slot, then indicator comes after)?

Here are a few ideas to search:

Ambiguous Bars (most likely) -- sometimes the indicator gives a long and short signal at the same time in the bar. Then, FSB / FST does not open a position, it cannot decide which one. To see if you have a lot: FSB -- click the exclamation mark button (with "!") in the price chart view. If you see a lot of exclamation marks over the price data, it supports this. When you mouse over, the dynamic info on the right will show:
Is long entry allowed    Yes
Is short entry allowed   Yes
Check your code separates them, or add another indicator to strategy to decide.

Repainting (somewhat likely) -- do you mean, ex, 3 previous bars say "short", then when the next bar comes, the previous 3 bars change to "long"?
I have done this when I compare current bar with previous bars, then set previous bars in the indicator array to the current indicator value.
Ex (don't do this):

if (High[iBar] > High[iBar-2] && High[iBar] > High[iBar-1]) {
   highCurrentValue = High[iBar];
}
adHighestValues[iBar] = highCurrentValue;
adHighestValues[iBar-1] = highCurrentValue;
adHighestValues[iBar-2] = highCurrentValue;

Here, I wanted to draw a continuous line of the highest value, but it will repaint because I am setting [iBar-2] and [iBar-1] in adHighestValues (indicator array) from new info in the current bar. Be sure only setting the current bar [iBar].

Typos (somewhat likely)
- check do not have "Enter Time", "Day of Week" or "Enter Once" slots in strategy

- Component section -- for the component with "Is long entry allowed", verify DataType is AllowOpenLong, should look like:
Component[4].DataType = IndComponentType.AllowOpenLong;
same for Short

- Indicator Logic section -- verify ref Components are correct, should look like:
OscillatorLogic(iFirstBar, iPrvs, adHighLowOsc, 0, 0, ref Component[4], ref Component[5], IndicatorLogic.The_indicator_rises);
check that the numbers in brackets (4 and 5 for my example) are the same component numbers as your AllowOpenLong and AllowOpenShort components

Let me know how that goes, hope that helps
