			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Back for a second to the Envelope:<br />You mentioned that the upper band is Close * 1.04 (using envelope 1,0.4)<br />What am I missing? The calculations do not add up for me.<br />Lets say EURUSD, Close = 1.3000<br />so upper band is 1.3000 * 1.04 = 1.3520 - which is 520 pips difference, which is obviously not going to hit in the next bar.</p><p>Where is the fault?</p><p>EDIT:<br />Should be 1.004 and 0.996 I believe?</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The current backtesting algorithm is not perfect (in the example with both TP/SL levels in the same bar - completely wrong). But it is hundred times faster then the one in some other platforms. </p><p>About the results when we have two signals in both side of the opening price. I develop this method and it is tested and optimized using shorter periods. It is almost 90% reliable. <br />You understand&nbsp; I can&#039;t discuss it here. It is the core of the application.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m working on it guys. The shorter period tester will be ready soon. And it will take the calculation only when is needed. It will use all the data we have (till 5 min). and will make a road for calculation for each bar. To speed the process if there are no calculation or if everything is clear - only the fastest algorythm.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Jar Jar - if you mean that daily strategies, will use, lets say 1 hour charts and will only place exit orders at one hour after the entry hour, than I agree. This is the only error-proof way.<br />Of course, it means that you may miss some exits if the market is fast, but at least it is more accurate and you know that if you get good results in this way, you will get good results in real trading.</p><p>Also, if FSB will someday support automatic usage of the higher resolution data, and you have up to 5 minute or 15 minute bars, than this will be perfect.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thank you Popov for the detailed answer. It is good.<br />I am completely aware of the most basic mistake people do of using the value of the indicator to trade on the same bar. I am past that level now but nonetheless, it is good that you mention it.</p><p>You refer to it as &quot;use previous bar value&quot; - I am simply always buying at next bar (calculate on this bar, and buy @ limit at Bar+1)</p><p>So we got at least one thing clear; the entry logic is:<br />if not BuyAtStop( Bar+1 ) then ShortAtStop( Bar+1 )</p><p>This, btw, may be problematic - since it favors bull markets.<br />If this logic is reversed, we may get different results - but I guess that the only way to truely solve it is to use data from higher resolution.</p><p>Now, you touched the point nicely, and I would like to discuss more:<br />Talking about SL/PT - what would be the logic (in pseudo code) for that?</p><p>You mention that you interpolate the bar to determine what hits first - judging by the charts, it looks like FSB is doing something like this (for long positions):</p><p>( Bar is any bar from the positoin entry bar onward, including the entry bar itself )</p><p>if( Bar is Rising ) then {<br />&nbsp; if not SellAtLimit( Bar )<br />&nbsp; then SellAtStop( Bar+1 )<br />}<br />else {&nbsp; // Bar is falling<br />&nbsp; if not SellAtStop( Bar )<br />&nbsp; then SellAtLimit( Bar+1 )<br />}</p><br /><p>Did I capture this somewhat correctly?<br />Also, how did you extract the 87% accuracy level?</p><p>It will be absolutely fantastic if FSB will use data from higher resolution to understand what hits first - this will take it to a whole new level.</p>]]></content>
