			<description><![CDATA[<p>The data graphs of the FST and FSB looks different. It seems there is difference in timing for the bar closing/ opening probably in seconds.&nbsp; The FST graph looks identical to MT4 but the FSB differs. I will merge the pictures to one so you can see the difference.&nbsp; &nbsp; Yes i was running other robots at the same time, i don&#039;t think there were any other orders send in at the same time, neither does the log reflect any orders send or rejected. Re my ability to properly test a custom ind. That&#039;s questionable, as this is really my first attempt of creating a program. I used the &quot; Three Bars Swing ind.&quot; As the base, followed it&#039;s logic and altered the algorithm to my needs.... it&#039;s just a basic strategy nothing to write home about lol ...&nbsp; the thought was that if the FSB Can successfully use it than the FST should too.&nbsp; Am I wrong in that assumption?</p><p>The composite has three graphs the first is FST, it is identical to the one under the&nbsp; MT4.&nbsp; Yet the FSB graph is different. Can you see what i mean ?&nbsp; (ps sorry for the crudeness of the composite&nbsp; I didn&#039;t spend much time on it <img src="https://forexsb.com/forum/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" />)<br />Thanks for the heads up on BB i will try to adopt it&nbsp; if it works i can post it <img src="https://forexsb.com/forum/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/image/zw0o2dt0/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://s2.postimage.org/zw0o2dt0/06_17_11_FST_MT4_FSB_Graph.jpg" alt="http://s2.postimage.org/zw0o2dt0/06_17_11_FST_MT4_FSB_Graph.jpg" /></span></a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Comment your screenshots, where&#039;s the misinterpretation between FSB and FST? Was there a trade already running when it didn&#039;t open the trade? Have you tested your custom indicator properly? </p><p>The closing problem is not actually a problem, this just how FSB/FST works, you could sort it out by using logical groups I think. If you plan to go ahead with a customization, then take a BB for example, throw out the deviation part, introduce base prices for both lines and it&#039;s done!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi i was back tasting some strategies, i noticed there are three observations that could be a problem <br />1)&nbsp; there is a differences in data presentation, between FST and FSB why is this happening, is this a glitch? The data was dl&#039;ed straight from the MQ4 USDCAD 5M page<br />2) for some reason the FST would not take a trade in life trading yet the FSB took several trades at the same time.&nbsp; ( i am back testing&nbsp; seven strategies at the same time&nbsp; but only one USDCAD ( this one) ( some of the other strategies are trading). The FST shows that it is OK to take a trade. <br />3) this strategy looks for two bars in same direction and takes position in that direction. The stop for long position is suppose to be close below MA 3 based on LOW&#039;s ... this works good for long positions however the for short positions the FST logic will try to close position when the price closes above the MA 3 also based on LOW of the bar, what it should have done is to base the exit on price closing above the MA3 HIGHS...&nbsp; I not a programmer, but i will attempt to modify the MA indicator to reflect that option, I likely will need some help from your guys if that&#039;s OK&nbsp; <img src="https://forexsb.com/forum/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
