A same direction signal - Does nothing
An opposite direction signal - Does nothing
Permanent Stop Loss - None

[Opening point of the position]
Bar Closing
     Enter the market at the end of the bar
     Base price  -  Close

[Opening logic condition]
Moving Average
     The bar opens above the MA value
     Smoothing method  -  Simple
     Base price  -  Close
     Period  -  21
     Shift  -  0
     Use previous bar value  -  No

[Opening logic condition]
Steady Bands
     The position opens above the Upper Band
     Smoothing method  -  Simple
     Base price  -  Close
     MA period  -  20
     Margin in pips  -  30
     Use previous bar value  -  No

[Closing point of the position]
Stop Limit
     Exit at the Stop Loss or the Take Profit level
     Stop Loss  -  -20
     Take Profit  -  15


The Steady Bands indicator is a MA+- margin. In this case MA +- 30pips.
The positions entry point is at the bar closing. So the rule: "The position opens above the Upper Band" means exactly Bar Closing is higher / Lower than MA+-30pips.
