			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Popov,<br />One last thing is that I would like to change the default entry time of the market (0 to 24) to 1 hour later (1 to 23) but in the window &#039;opening logic condition&#039;, &quot;Enter the market between the specified hours&quot; 1 to 23 doesn&#039;t work. If I keep the 0 it does work. Any clue? Thx</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>&quot;Permanent Stop Loss&quot; is exactly what you want. Open the &quot;Startegy Properties&quot; dialog. (The first rectangle, just above th e &quot;Opening point of the position&quot;). You will see thr Permanent S/L at the bottom of the dialog window.</p><p>This &quot;Permanent Stop Loss&quot; sets a stop loss order to all open positions. It is calculated on the Entry Price basis.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Use one of the following:<br /> &quot;Stop Loss&quot; - sets a stop loss exit point;<br /> &quot;Take Profit&quot; - sets a take profit exit point;<br /> &quot;Stop Limit&quot; - sets both stop loss and take profit exit points;<br /> Go to the &quot;strategy properties&quot; window and select &quot;Permanent Stop Loss&quot; - it works as additional protections to main strategy exit rule.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Yes, it works in both directions, but you have to say what to do at the upper entry price (in this case Open + 50pips). You have two options: to open long at that price or to open short. This is extremely different. In the first case you have a trend following entry but in the second you have contra trend entry.</p><p>Forex Strategy Builder allows you to set the long entry logic. It makes the mirrored logic for the short entry alone.</p><p>So if you want to enter long at Open Price + 50 pips, you have to use the logic:&nbsp; &quot;Enter long after an upward move&quot;. The same means that you&#039;ll open short when the market reaches Open Price - 50 pips. FSB sets this automatically.</p><p>If you want to enter long at the lower price and enter short at the upper price, you have to use &quot;Enter long after a downward move&quot;</p>]]></description>

So your local time will be 5 o&#039;clock when London opens.<br />To be able to filter the entry time you have to use 1hour chart.</p><p><strong>[Opening point of the position]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Price Move</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">Enter long after an upward move</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Base price</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>Open</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Price move</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>50</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Use previous bar value</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>No</em></p><p><strong>[Opening logic condition]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Entry Time</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">Enter the market between the specified hours</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>From hour (incl.)</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>5</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>From min (incl.)</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>0</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Until hour (excl.)</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>6</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Until min( excl.)</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>0</em></p><p><strong>[Opening logic condition]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Enter Once</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">Enter no more than once a bar</span></strong> </p><p>Notice that I use 5 o?clock and 6 o?clock and ?Enter once a bar?. This means you will open long/short if there is upward or downward 50 pips market move during the first hour after London market opening.<br />Other option is to use 4 hour chart and to set ?Entry time? from 4 to 8 o?clock. But this is not exactly the London opening.<br />Despite the fact you can play with different time zones data and ?Entry time? filter, the best solution is to load market data from the London time zone. Of course you can continue using ?Entry Time? to specify a time horizon for the market entry.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Let&#039;s say I want to enter long or short (+/-50pips) after the opening of London whichever comes first? It would automatically cancel the opposite position and I think for that I need to use the &quot;Enter once a day&quot; function.<br />Thanks for helping and keep this great software going!</p>]]></description>
