First I let FSB produce few strategies. Then I will connect those strategies to MT4 platform through FSB Trader function and will number with ID=1, ID=2, ID=3, ID=4…. Each has, of course, also a different Magic Number. All strategies I am testing run in M1 time frame. Now, I will run this setup few days – everything works perfectly.

During the weekend, when market is closed, I wanted to filter the setup, adjusting some strategies and removing some. I will close all chart windows in MT4 and close all trading strategies in FSB. I will restart both MT4 platform and FSB.
Now I will open a strategy with ID=1 on FSB, and open a new chart for this strategy on MT4 platform, loading also a FSB-MT4 bridge for this chart. Everything is OK. I will open next strategy on FSB with ID=2 and open a new chart for it on MT4. But FSB-MT4 bridge cannot be loaded. The bridge will inform that “FSB-MT4 Bridge ID=2 is already running on another chart”.

To find out if this is a problem with FSB or MT4 I CLOSED FSB and tried to load the FSB-MT4 bridge to MT4 platform. It will result in same behavior: I can load strategy with ID=1, but not with ID=2, ID=3… I found out, that I cannot load a strategy if there is, in MT4, an open position with this ID number, but THIS IS NOT VALID FOR A STRATEGY WITH ID=1 – I can have open positions in MT4 with this ID number and the bridge will load OK anyway!

So I cannot today (Sunday AM) prepare my system for restart on Sunday's 21.00 opening of Sydney market (in my local time). I have to wait until the session starts, close all open positions, and restart adjusted strategies.
