Topic: strategy changes in the middle of generator sequence

I would like to ask about the Generator button - what does it actually generate, and why does my strategy 'change' while it is 'generating' whatever it is suppose to be generating?

Re: strategy changes in the middle of generator sequence

Thanks for your reply - but why does the software actually change the strategy midstream while it's converting?

eg: my strategy = SMA cross + Gator oscillator

then while it is generating, the strategy changes to some other strategy on the screen window. After the generator has finished, the account/equity results are much different to what i originally saw in realtime designing my strategy.

I then try to generate my strategy again, giving me different results again!

could this be a bug ?

(I am running Win XP pro with your latest version of your software)

thanks:)

The Generator generates new strategies every time you start it.
If you don't want a new generated strategy, don't use it.

If you want to improve your current strategy by adding additional indicators to it, you can use the generator. You have to lock some slots from the original strategy to keep them unchanged. 

See here an example http://forexsb.com/help/guide/building- … t-strategy

many thanks Popov for your reply:)

Originally I thought it was a button that generates ex4 files from the input strategy - but having a random selector is quite an interesting idea !

Is there a way that your progam can be linked to a broker to auto-trade the strategy?

This feature will be available through MT. We are working on it.
