spend some time reading the documentation. you will see the link at the top of the page......

this program will trade shorts the same as long, it is designed to do so.

Spend time getting familiar with the program and its features, that will save you a ton of time and frustration

FSB develops a pattern for long trades........ and then uses same logic for short trades.

Please spend time studying the documentation so that you become familiar with the tools

please note that the program will open and close, both long and short according to the strategy generated.

Experience with the software and testing will demonstrate this to you

Automated systems are a bit different from manual discretionary systems..... hard to get everything to fit.

I wonder if you can use logical operators in the  closing logic, ie  one operator for each exit in the indicator.....

And then allow the generator to select whatever parameter fits....

What are your thoughts....?

Because Ichimoku is a system of moving averages, I am pretty sure that you can use moving average crossovers for each exit and entry.

You would have to set up each parameter as an ma cross and lock it and use logical operators and there you have it.

If you need further configuration, you could place a request in the Footon's Indicator thread and he may be able to do what is necessary.

Thanks Mod Blaiserboy

I appreciate that, but you know... kumo placed 26 days ahead, Chikou same behind.... why recreate a whole system that I already have on my charting software.
I might be wrong but to me the real + of FSB are:
    - calculate strategies' profits with a huge amount of historical data
    - tweak just a bit your system to optimize strategies based of past data

if FSB allows us to do this, I guess every real trader used to manipulate systems will want it

thanks.

Hi Footon,

thank much appreciated I hope this can help others as well, I don't mind if thousands of traders get profitable...

May be, it is just because I don’t know how to use the system.

You see sometimes I need to set up a TP like this: entry + 3 x ATR (8) or TP when a candle crosses back Tenkan (Ichi) or even a partial close with one TP and a second condition with a % of opening position...

As per entry, I see MA crosses but I use MA crossing a triple average. Sometimes after a Kumo cross, I’d like to be able to enter only few bars and with a pip distance from Kumo. Also it seems important to indicate if a cross happens below, inside or above Kumo

SL: an EMA minus 2 ATR?

I really value your help, if you prefer a simple list of conditions, I can write this but I thought it was clearer if I explained a bit, hopefully this is already in FSB and I just don’t know how to find them.

I see that since I was using the previous version tons of work has been put inside. It will be wonderful if this fantastic tool can become 100% reliable and versatile.

Anyway, please let me know if this can be done

thank you so much for your prompt answer Footon

you're right I didn't include more Ichi conditions as I thought I might be able to work it out with what's already included. I will do my homework first before to ask anything that might not be useful

have a great day, please let me know when you'll put these points in your busy schedule.

cheers

Alrighty, took some hours this thing, but I have something to post. I'm reasonably happy as this expands the standard Ichi, hence the M (modernized ) behind the name.

More knowledgeable users will notice it produces different results with "rises/falls" logic when compared with the standard indicator. I'm at wits myself about it, but I consider it reliable. The issue is that the original has the logic coded in the indicator, whereas I call the hard-coded one as other standard FSB indicators. To me they are both similarly built.

There's a vertical shift function for Kumo, essentially position gets not opened if Kumo is closer than the set point value.

Please test it thoroughly, there may be malfunctions and bugs - let me know if something of sorts happens.
