FSB_v2.63b     downloaded 8/10/2011 is  5,691KB and runs
FSB_v2.63.3b  downloaded 8/15/2011 is    314KB and doesn't run
FSB_v2.57.1.0b  downloaded 12/16/2010 is   166kb and doesn't run

FST_v1.4.4 downloaded 8/9/2011 is 211KB and doesn't run
FST_v1.4.5 downloaded  8/10/2011 is 3,358KB and runs fine

error message "file corrupted" is immediate when "run" hit
deleted cache in both Win 64  and 32 on quadcore and on XP on dual core as instructed
also tried 'Run" rather than "save" at download , same error message, all three browsers, on two machines
FSB not running on either machine  during download
most FSB-FST downloads do not run immediately without some possible-problem dialog-boxes appearing requiring my hitting a "continue" button

by the way, also had those crazy bell sounds last week even though I unchecked the "plaY SOUNDS" button on every FST and FSB application.  Finally turned off PC sound.

So, can't believe I'm the only one having these "corrupted file" download problems
Thanks for all you do; much appreciated

- Fixed a bug in N Bars Exit indicator. (Crash when nBars > Data bars)

- Fixed backtesting bug.
This bug was not related to the added Break Even function but heavily reflects exactly on Break Even calculations. Probably this is the reason we found it just now.

Yes, I can see how that would be a problem with backtesting.

If a Break Even can be activated in the same bar, FSB activates it and returns back to close your position on zero profit. Off course, it makes that if there is no Stop Loss in the bar because Stop Losses are tastier.
When there is no enough information, pessimistic method tries to find the worst scenario. This is the beauty of Forex Strategy Builder, it protects the user of making overestimated backtests and logical errors.

Some times Pessimistic Method is too strict. To check that use Method Comparator. Intrabar data or tick data always improve the accuracy of the test.
