When the option is on, the behavior of the strategies will be as it is now, however when it is off, the strategy will check the history and will not allow another entry at the same price during that position. A price level will be free for entry once the position is closed (zero lots). This, with the combination with the Add, Winner, and Loser options will allow various scenarios.

Another direction of development is to provide a way the indicators to see the account and the trades. It will open many new opportunities.

You can get the source for all standard indis and the stuff which goes along with. Find it here: https://github.com/PopovMP/FSB_Pro_Indicators

Why it's bad news? The fact that the standard indi is not meant to do this doesn't necessarily mean it is impossible in FSB. That's what custom indicators are for.

In such case I recall my original scepticism smile

FSB indis do not have access to position info, no entry price is possible in a reliable way, only if price has been at a level is known.

Is the access into the FSB Pro code excluded?
Just a vague idea from a programming analphabet: What about adding a "variable constant" into the formula for counting the average price of currently opened positions that allows entering the next "Winner" position (for "Loser" vice versa, of course). The variable constant would increase with every entered position, in steps given by the grid.

I wonder about a loop in the round number indicator

or a 'wait' command

I actually have no idea as I am unfamiliar with indicator building in FSBPro

Were I writing something in Mql I would be trying thoise two or using a varialble to store the last entry price.

Footon... what do u think he can use to achieve that sequence of orders....

He wants one every so many pips

I have been trying also to come up with something but am stuck.

Round Number is essentially the way to go, the problem seems to be that a grid-level should contribute addition only once - this is the tricky part. We could neglect a level if price has visited it, but for how long it should stay obliviated? Forever seems to be a bad choice, because nearly all price levels will be wiped out...

Let's hope that Popov will find any alternative solution. I believe the grid-type entry can help to realize some interesting strategies, if used in a controlled way.

I didn't see anything suspicious with your previous post as positions were added in the true spirit of Winner mode - add to winning positions at round numbers, whatever they may be as long as they are round.

http://forexsb.com/forum/post/27105/#p27105

Strange adding to winning positions (at the same price level !?) can be seen on the backtest showing trades from 18th and 23rd September.

The sample strategy and M1 data from September 2014 are attached.

It would be great, if you find a solution. Thanks in advance.

I agree, but what about the issue with adding winning positions in equal steps?

Show me a strategy, data and the bar where it happens. I'll check it and fix it if it is necessary.

It works fine:

Round Number
Digits     Numbers
2          11440.0 11450.0
3          11400.0 11500.0
4          11000.0 12000.0
