Expert Advisor Code updated to v 49
Hello Traders,
There is an update to the MQL code for exporting Expert Advisors. The update fixes a compilation error in the newest MT5 - 'NormalizeComponentValue' - function already defined and has different type.
The MQL code will be updated automatically at the next start of FSB Pro.
You may force the update by deleting the content of the C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Builder Pro\User Files\MT4 Files\MQL folder. If you decide to do that, you have to re-install the custom indicators you use.
The MQL code v49 will be silently introduced in the FSB Pro v3.8.8 installation package.

Expert Advisors MQL Code Updated
Hello Traders,
We released a new version of the MQL code, now version 47. The changes are only in the MT5 code.
The update covers a problem in MT5 - inability to set a proper Order Filling Type. We found out there is a bug either in MT5 or in some brokers settings, which make it impossible to get the correct filling type from the MT platform. Fortunately, we found a workaround that works for the problematic brokers.
We hope our solution will work even if MetaQuotes fix that behavior.
If your experts work fine, you don't need to re-export them.
Your MQL code will be updated automatically after restarting FSB Pro.
Please report any problems in the forum and we will find a solution.

Forex Strategy Builder Professional v3.8.4. EA Code v44

Forex Strategy Builder Professional v3.8.2
Hello Traders,
Forex Strategy Builder Professional v3.8.2 is published. It comes with a new statistic metric - Backtest quality %.
The Backtest quality measures what is the percentage of the correctly calculated bars. The formula is:
BacktestQuality = 100 * (totalBars - strategyFirstBar - ambiguousBars) / (totalBars - strategyFirstBar)
The higher the number is, the better is the backtest precision. FSB Pro marks the stats in red when it is lower than 100%.
FSB Pro v 3.8.2 is available for autoupdate. Because this update does not concern the strategy behavior you don't need to re-export your Expert Advisors.

Expert Advisor Code v43 - Fixed Oscillator of MACD
Hello Traders,
We released an update to the FSB Pro Expert Advisor code v3. It fixes a bug in the “Oscillator of MACD” indicator.
If you have expert advisors that use the “Oscillator of MACD” indicator, please reexport your expert advisor.
Expert Advisor Code v42 - Detect Friday Close Time
Dear traders,
I'm proud to announce a new release of the Expert Advisors source code used by FSB Pro.
The new code solves a longtime problem - automatically detection of the end of the Friday trading session. This is important in order to make the Day Closing and the Week Closing indicators working properly.
You see on the above screenshot that the expert closes the position at 23:59 on Tuesday and at 21:59 on Friday.
These indicators doesn't replace the “Day Closing 2” and “Week Closing 2” indicators where you can set different closing times.
The v42 code release fixes a bug that may lead to “requote” errors in MetaTrader 5.
You will receive the update when you start Forex Strategy Builder Professional.
Please test carefully your experts and report all issues you may encounter.
Trade Safe!
