Thanks again!

PS: my best friend in Brussels is also from Varna!

So the only option is to get rid of the 5000 limit. How can I do that?

Other users are asking me how to reduce 5000 limit of SL in order to make generating faster.

You can download FSB source code and you can change the limit for you.

https://github.com/PopovMP/Forex-Strate … perties.cs line 285.

            // NumericUpDown Permanent S/L
            FancyNudPermaSL.Name = "nudPermaSL";
            FancyNudPermaSL.Parent = PnlProtection;
            FancyNudPermaSL.BeginInit();
            FancyNudPermaSL.Minimum = 5;
            FancyNudPermaSL.Maximum = 5000; // <- --------------------------
            FancyNudPermaSL.Increment = 1;
            FancyNudPermaSL.Value = Data.InstrProperties.IsFiveDigits ? 1000 : 100;
            FancyNudPermaSL.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
            FancyNudPermaSL.EndInit();

So the only option is to get rid of the 5000 limit. How can I do that?

Not sure if I followed that. Let's see because otherwise I will run into problems:
- in FSB I decided to keep 2 digits for the reason I gave. The strategy looks nice as it is;
- but my broker uses 3 digits. Does this mean that I have necessarily to adapt SL/TP? Or FST will still compute prices rightly using exactly the same strategy I developed with FSB?

No, it's the user who has to make things match. If your strat is developed on 2digs and you will trade it on 3digs, closing point must match the right point values for the strat to function correctly (as in backtest). This means you can't use the same TP/SL values, you have to multiply them. Hence my note that why circumvent in FSB if can't circumvent in FST, thus rendering your work non-usable.

Hope you got it now.

I think this would depend on how things I programmed, but I have no clue about it.

So you can use whatever you like if know what it changes and you adapt the startegy to it.

Just to be on the safe side, can you let me know if the number of digits used in FSB has to be the same as given by market info in FST? I presume this not distort the way positions are opened, but I'm not sure.

I'm asking because I had to use digits = 2 in FSB even though my broker uses digits = 3. This is for XAUUSD. However, because the SL/TP/BE are limited to 5000 points in FSB, I had to circumvent this limitation by choosing digits = 2.

Let me know if my question is not clear.
