Don't seem to find it, but I did as Master Popov suggested, removing all opening logic conditions from Popov2Fractal. exported Popov2Fractal2 to FXCM and ran it on Strategy Tester. No results but here is Journal;

Related subject????Why are all the Fractal 'Long Entry & Short Entry Prices' shown as "0.00000" on the Chart EA displays?????

And Master Popov you asked why I thought FSB Pro Exported EAs didn't take into account the fact that some, in some EAs, indicators such as Volumes and FMI require Increases for both Buys and Shorts. My answer is that when displayed on charts my FMI always say
"Is a Long entry allowed -> NO" and at same time no matter what the FMI is [to 5 decimal places] always also say "Is a Short entry allowed ->NO". For days & days. Always [No No]/[No No].

As to your next to last suggestion I had to modify it 1lot->.01lot. and I substituted MFI for your "Volumes', uploaded to FXCM, attempted to run it on Strategy Tester. No Results and this from Journal;

a bullish candle is formed; and
there is a volume higher than the average.

Reduce the requirements and try again. For example set the Candle's body height = 1 and Volume threshold = 1.0.

Try the attached strategy. It has an indicator with symmetrical signals.

Re: FSB Pro Indicator/EA Logic

null@example.com (Popov) — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:30:12 +0000

Frequently, if an indicator needs to be 'rising' for a Buy, it also needs to be 'rising' for a Short.

Why do you think we don't cover such cases?

Re: FSB Pro Indicator/EA Logic

null@example.com (jgp_altus) — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:25:43 +0000

I have no idea how to supply what Footon wants. If he is confused, welcome to the club. It has taken me weeks of effort to get to this point. Basically, my sense is that whatever sub-program automatically converts Buy Logic to Short logic doesn't correctly take into account that indicators like Volume and MFI need special treatment. Frequently, if an indicator needs to be 'rising' for a Buy, it also needs to be 'rising' for a Short. All 4 of my FSB Pro EAs currently attached to FXCM 1M charts and all four of my different EAs currently attached to Oanda 1H charts involve indicators that according to FSB Pro need to be 'rising' for both Buy and Short. For some reason, their failure, when exported and attached to charts, to recognize that fact results in NO Buys or Shorts. And NO master Popov, all of my EAs that have things that have to rise for both Buy and Short DO Not work on either FXCM or Oanda MT4 strategy testers. The only ones that do work are EAs that do not involve such indicators.

There is another problem in that both Strategy Testers will not 'load' many of the latter Eas, even though they have been properly 'exported' and can be attached to MT4 Charts, smiley faces and all. They also appear among the Strategy Testers list of EAs. But I presume that is an unrelated problem. I just want them to Buy or Short as FSB Pro says they should.

As I have mentioned in the past, it is best practice when you simplify things

Try to put yourself in the position of someone reading this post..... confusion.

Lets get posted the strategy, screen shots, the journal from MT4 for ONE strategy only. and we will get the issues resolved.

FSB Pro Indicator/EA Logic

null@example.com (jgp_altus) — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 01:12:48 +0000

Here is a copy of the Opening Logic of my 616EURUSDM1 FSB Pro generated EA;

Open a new long position or add to an existing position 2 points above a Down Fractal when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

the Market Facilitation Index* rises [EURUSD M30] (repeated one more time); and
the Awesome Oscillator* (Simple, Median, 34, 5) is lower than the Level 0 [EURUSD D1].

Open a new short position or add to an existing position 2 points below an Up Fractal when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

the Market Facilitation Index* rises [EURUSD M30] (repeated one more time); and
the Awesome Oscillator* (Simple, Median, 34, 5) is higher than the Level 0 [EURUSD D1].

When this EA and its siblings are attached to appropriate M1 charts, for hours at a time the MFI display always says that neither buy or sell transactions are allowed. MFI 'rises' No-No No-No. The implication is that the MFI NEVER RISES! Isn't that so????

here is same info for 616GBPUSDM1;

Open a new long position or add to an existing position or reverse a short position 64 points below a Down Fractal when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

the Awesome Oscillator* (Exponential, Typical, 9, 13) is lower than the Level 0.0007 [GBPUSD M5]; and
the Market Facilitation Index* rises [GBPUSD M30].

Open a new short position or add to an existing position or reverse a long position 64 points above an Up Fractal when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

the Awesome Oscillator* (Exponential, Typical, 9, 13) is higher than the Level -0.0007 [GBPUSD M5]; and
the Market Facilitation Index* rises [GBPUSD M30].

Similarly, I get nothing but 'No's on Oanda MT4 with CandleGBPUSD60 smiley face.

Opening (Entry Signal)
Open a new long position or add to an existing position or close a short position at the beginning of the bar when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

a bullish candle is formed; and
there is a volume higher than the average.

Open a new short position or add to an existing position or close a long position at the beginning of the bar when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

a bearish candle is formed; and
there is a volume higher than the average.

Hour after hour on Oanda chart display "is entry allowed by Rising Volume" ???? No-No No-No
