If I were you, I would first backtest the initial strat in FSB to see if it works or not, if results turn out to be good enough, I'd demo trade at least a week or two in FST before going live.

If backtest results are bad, I'd assess the strat carefully. So mainly there are 2 possibilities - scrapping or improving the strat. If you choose improvement, let your creativity flow. When optimizing, be careful not to curve-fit your strat.

Ok. Now what you have given me here is for the  buy long of my parameters. Am I correct to assume that If I want to add the buy short part of my parameters I do the same thing?

No, only long setup is needed, FSB/FST reverses the long setup automatically for short positions.

When I opened the strategy I made I opened it in FST and it was in .xml format. What I am asking you now is what do I have to now to get what you have done for me into a format that I can use in FST?

Thanks

Convert what? Your question reveals to me that you haven't even looked at FSB or FST, these programs have graphical user interface, so setting up a strat is NOT copying, pasting, converting or programming. You know, there is a saying that God loves a trier...

A couple of questions.
Iis the buy at 60 sec increase in place?

And obviously I copy and save  in txt format. How can I convert it to be read by FST?

Thanks

A same direction signal - Does nothing
An opposite direction signal - Does nothing
Permanent Stop Loss - None
Permanent Take Profit - None

[Opening Point of the Position]
Price Move
     Enter long after an upward move
     Base price  -  Open
     Price move  -  15
     Use previous bar value  -  No

[Closing Point of the Position]
Trailing Stop
     Exit at the Trailing Stop level
     Trailing mode  -  Trails once a bar
     Trailing Stop  -  33

When trading live, use tick mode for trailing in FST, if you want a permanent stop of 5 pips (5 is the absolute minimum), adjust the strategy properties accordingly.

Hard TP/SL for closing point is:

[Closing Point of the Position]
Stop Limit
     Exit at the Stop Loss or the Take Profit level
     Stop Loss  -  5
     Take Profit  -  33

And timeframe M1 of course.

Here are the parameters I would like.

This is a simple strategy I would like to try, to try and  take  quick advantage of the pip surges that occur in both directions when I am not at my computer. I realize this will typically result in several buys and sells most days but that is ok.

Volume 100
*buy long anytime there is a pip increase of 15 in a 60 second timeframe.
*Ideally I would like to put in a trailing dynamic stop after a 33 pip increase from the buy in price.  This is an effort to take profit and go along for the ride on any long rise. If that is not doable than I would like a
*stop and take profit after a 33 pip increase which would typically realize about a $300 profit.
*close after a  decrease of 3 below the buy in pips (price). Which would result in a $30 loss.

*buy short anytime there is a pip decrease of 15 in a 60 second timeframe.
*Ideally I would like to put in a trailing dynamic stop after a 33 pip decrease from the buy in price. If that is not doable than I would like a
*stop and take profit after a 33 pip decrease which would realize a $300 profit.
*close after a  increase of 3 above the buy in pips (price). Which would result in a $30 loss.

Another note: I would want only one occurrence running at a time. e.g. If a pip surge happens while one strategy is already running ignore the surge/buy.

I hope this is clear, I am new to this so my understanding of the  terminology and many of the rules are not that good. If you need clarification or if  there is other information  needed  on any of this please let me know.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
