Re: 15 MIN Strategy

I see you have nearly 2 years of experience with FSB, you probably should know that HTF indis are not working correctly, it has been widely discussed and emphasized for quite some time now...

If something looks too good to be true, then in most likelihood it is. And that's no different in your case, remove HTF indicator and you have reliable backtest.

Re: 15 MIN Strategy

You have "Enter at Bar Opening", then the Moving Averages Crossover does not Use Previous Bar. You must check Use Previous Bar with "Enter at Bar Opening". If not, FSB gets the signal, then opens at the opening of the bar, which is impossible because that would be going back in time.

Base price is Open, therefore it should be fine, Open price is known every step of the way, so no need to use previous bar value, it only introduces 1 bar lag if used.

HTF indicators do not work

It seams we have to make a red traffic lights for such balance line.

It may means overoptimization or false backtest.

Once we made the custom statistics, we can implement also some warnings.
