Hi, Popov.
Thank you so mush for your great work every time 

I noticed that Bar Closing HTF v4 is still not recognized by FSB.
Can we use HTF indicators for closing logic without using Bar Closing HTF?
I think many FSB users are waiting for it. 

Please refer to the discussion below

Data files are from Alpari - GMT time zone.

You can easily test this feature.

Change a parameter of the strategy, so that the drawdown to increase, let say 1250 and the profit of the strategy to be lower. Open the Optimizer and set Max drawdown to 1205 and set also the parameter in the way that the original value to be in the limits.
Start the Optimizer an look it to recover the original value of the parameter that makes the drawdown 1200. 

That test can be repeated with the other parameters also.

The Optimizer uses nonlinear optimization algorithm. That means it may choose another direction every time you start it. Therrefore the end result may differ especially when the parameters selected are mjore than 3.

The idea of logical groups is:
- AND interaction between the indicators from one group;
- OR interaction between indicators of different group;
- "All" group means that the indicator participate in each group.

Refer to Overview when experimenting with groups.

Nevermind, I think I got it working. Confused that it is Max EQUITY Drawdown, not Max Drawdown. Sorry.

That would be nice !!!

Does FDT work with new FSB ?   
I have a strategy on FSB that show it is works, but in Real world i FDT doesnt do anything ... no trade !

1. FST with Logical Groups will be available at the middle of August.

2. The idea of Permanent SL / TP is they to be PERMENT in order to provide ridgit limits in both directions.

3. I think if we make the Optimzer changing the indicators Logic, that will change the strategy complitely. For example, if the Optimizer changes the logic from "MA rises" to "MA falls", the strategy will change from trend following to contra trend. Therefore, this feature applies more to the Generator.

4. There was a bug with OOS in the Optimizer in the previous versions. Now it must be OK. Anyway, report all doubtful cases.

I think no ADDITIONAL option will ever be contra-productive, because one can just not use it if not needed. But especially the TP / SP optimization should be really done as when optimized with other parameters often can lead to huge improvement in strategies. I noticed that when using the Stop Limit indicator and optimizing the TP / SP together with all other parameters of my indicators.

Also, optimizing the logics is definetely also going to help. Even if the system then goes from trend-following to not trend-following, who cares if it provides a better equity curve? The best of my strategies have looked TOTALLY different when I generated them to what they have ended up after optimizing all parameters and changing many logics. So I think this will definetely be a good idea to implement it.

Btw, this problem here is still present for me in Beta 3: http://forexsb.com/forum/post/5473/#p5473

Since beta 2 I've the problem that the Generator stop generating a strategy.
The bug is still present in beta 3.

Can I send you any debug messages? The Generator just stoppes after a couple of calculations.
I've the problem with Windows 7 and XP.
Maybe a localization problem? My region is set to German.

Edit: It also happens with US settings.

Max Equity Drawdown % does not work with "information in Pips", because if Pip-Account happens to get below zero, Max Equity Drawdown increases above 100%.
