At some time, Popov will probably rewrite the program to include these ideas and some others that he has become aware of. 

Just my personal thinking.

Imagine that the strategy uses other Closing point for example Bollinger Band. In that case, the program will use the Closing Logic Conditions values from the previous bar, because the indicators will be fixed. FSB Pro will know from the beginning of the bar that it must close the position, but it will wait to reach the Bollinger Band - something that may not happen. What we have to do in that case? To leave the position open? Later the market may reach the BB but the conditions may not be satisfied anymore.

Popov,

If we have more dynamic closing conditions, we would have more options if (a) didn't reached, there are (b) closing option and lastly the "usual" option as what the current FSB Pro is functioning.  Hence, we can reduce your concern mentioned above and if the position stay open, then it's the discipline of the trader to implement SL, BE and TP, there can't be a position that can remain open "forever" unless it is accumulating floating profit (then it's a good problem but margin call etc would have terminate a trade one way or another), if that's the case, then I wonder whether the trader has any trading strategy to start with.

Often, in real market conditions, there are "spikes" or sudden huge fluctuations and then things return back to "normal" again.  Or there is a sudden downtrend etc.  With dynamic closing features, our EA have a "better" performance because it is "flexible" to respond to different closing conditions.  Currently, if I use trailing stop loss, then I have to "give up" using my own closing conditions.

I do really wish you would consider the dynamic closing conditions to be a future FSB Pro features.  It would make our EA more robust and FSB Pro a top notch programme unmatched by others (as it is already an outstanding one to begin).

I probably just have to trust Popov that he knows best and maybe this "scientific" path may lead to the answer to our suggestion...who knows.

Already Popov has made great improvement to FSB Pro beyond my expectations, especially when he enable FSB Pro to export EA directly to run in MT4, that's the improvement I appreciate most.

Well, let's keep our finger cross and hopefully Popov may come back to this suggestion...or maybe our dream is too "wild" that it is technically "impossible" for programmers?  I don't know what's the limitation or boundaries we are pushing...hence don't want to jump into any conclusion.

So far, from what I have seen, only a couple people are working with indicators to develop them, the other hundreds and thousands of users are not skilled enough.

I am not sure why Popov went down this path, there are hundreds of unanswered requests and instead he went this scientific programming approach and plans to spend the next month developing it.

What scientific programming approach?

I look at the discussion too and it was way beyond my understanding.

I share the same sentiments too about the original purpose of FSB Pro, that's for people with no programming knowledge to execute their strategies without the need for extensive programming knowledge.

Well, I do hope Popov pick up our suggestion here to develop a more dynamic closing conditions...hopefully more people who read this discussion, can join in to express their interest and support too

Meanwhile, just have to hope and wait and see whether Popov's plate is not too full with other demands so that he will give this suggestion a closer look and consideration.

Thanks DaveM for walking with me in this journey, otherwise I thought I'm the only person who has such a dream.  Appreciate your support.

And then we will have to ask Popov to help us to design what we need to accomplish the goal.

I do not really have the understanding of this new tool and could not attend the seminar as it is Mother's Day here.

Time will tell, I am sure there is something that we can accomplish.

I just had a look at the thread for the new tool, I think it was developed only for those that are skilled in programming and will not be of much benefit to most of us. It is more a scientific approach and is going to take a lot of study to learn. That is disappointing, I would have preferred to see some flexibility in the program along the lines that we have been discussing.

I am surprised that Popov has introduced something that requires advanced programming skills as this software was initially intended to eliminate the need for programming, and. there is no hint of the changes that we request.

I think Popov has said we can create indicators to go into each area..... and that will meet your request.. (and mine also)

To follow up on our discussion, I'm curious to know whether by any chance my suggestion will be taken up by the software development team to consider the possibility of working on the various closing option?  Or this suggestion would just be another topic to put aside?

I see a lot of potential in the dynamic closing condition, however I don't have any software background to understand how possible and or the difficulties behind it and whether if this suggestion would be taken up, how soon or long would it be incorporated in the future software update? 1yr later or 1 month?

Do you think this suggestion is worth looking into it, or do I give up the idea or dream of ever having such possibility and end this discussion thread?

I like your input about the different time chart, excellent idea, can't wait to see these wishes come to fulfillment.  That would make FSB Pro superb and no any other competitor can ever match it.

So you could set a fixed value for take profit or stop loss, and also have a few different lines that you could exit at.....

In other words, have available something like ten different options including the fixed numbers.

We might as well include the ability to optimize by time frame in that bunch, for example you may be working on a 60 minute chart but want to exit when a 15 minute chart gives a signal.

I think that the program would need a rewrite for these to be possible. Well, perhaps only the indicators have to be restructured.

I definitely understand the flexibility that you want.
