Make a copy of the indicator because a MQL code update will override your version.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Question 1: Is there some reason this thing to happen?</p></blockquote></div><p>Yes, it is. The limits are adjusted to allow the most common usage of the indicators. If we make too broad limits, the Generator will be useless. Imagine that we made the indicator parameters fully unlimited and you run the Generator. It may choose BB Period to be 45334542344 and Multiplier = -4556.2221. How useful is it? It may take billion cycles to generate a BB with Period =20 and Multiplier = 2, if&nbsp; it happens at all. </p><p>There are users that make custom indicators with narrow limits in order to make the generator faster. <br />Other users make custom indicators with wider limits for their cases.&nbsp; <br />Some traders use BB with 4, 6, or 8 bands. </p><p>That&#039;s why we provide a way for the users to make custom indicators. </p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Question 2: Sometimes&nbsp; the square in photo is clicked and sometimes not.</p></blockquote></div><p><strong>Use previous bar value</strong> option is extremely important for the reliability of the backtest. It was controlled manually in the first versions, but we found that the traders do not understand fully what it means. We made it automatic in order to prevent falls backtest.</p><p>Read more abut &quot;Use previous bar value&quot; here:<br /><a href="http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsbpro_guide/indicator_advanced_properties#use_previous_bar_value">http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsbpro_guide/in … _bar_value</a><br /><a href="http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/use_previous_bar_value">http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/use_ … _bar_value</a></p>]]></content>
