Dear Popov, thank you that's a nice feature, but what do you think about closing positions on opposite signals?
> what do you think about closing positions on opposite signals?
Your request refers to the FSB Pro feature "Next opposite direction signal". It has four options: Nothing, Reduce, Close, and Reverse.
It is perfectly doable in EA Studio also. The suitable options are Nothing, Close, and Reverse.

Yes Popov, that's what I mean, it'd be great to have such features in EA Studio.
I started implementing this feature with enthusiasm.
However, I remembered why it is not in EA Studio yet. The problem is that we have to support Expert Advisors for MT4, MT5, and a Portfolio Expert.
The current implementation of the Portfolio Expert uses separate functions for calculating the entry and exit signals. I have to figure out how to make the entry signals close a position.
I managed to implement it in the experts.
The new version is uploaded online.
Currently the "Opposite entry signal: Ignore / Reverse" option is available in the Strategy Properties panel in Editor.
If we are sure it works properly in MT4, MT5 and the Portfolio, I'll make it available in the Generator.
Please reload EA Studio and test it.
nic so it means we dont need exit indicator..
> so, it means we don't need an exit indicator.
The option sets the EA to close the current position when there is an opposite entry signal.
If the above happens, it means that the same signal will open a new position automatically.
The "Opposite entry signal" may close a position for strategies without exit indicators and SL / TP.
Of course, it will work adequately with SL, TP and exit indicators.
NB. You know that when there are no exit indicators, EA Studio closes at the next Bar Open. For that reason, I use the "Do not Exit" indicator. It makes it clear that the new option works.

Sorry for the late reply
I've tested the portfolio and a few single EA using CCI, BB, RSI, and MA Cross indicators, I can say it works very well.
Thank you very much, Popov, I'm looking forward to generator/reactor implementation.
Nice work.
Popov, would it be possible to add "close" option in addition to "reverse", so the EA will close if one of oppsite entry rules is confirmed?
for example
the entry rule :
1. CCI below -100
and
2. Fast MA cross slow MA upward
the exit will be
1. CCI above 100
OR
2. Fast MA cross slow MA downward
best regards.
Hi Popov
I was thinking against to have reverse in that position you did
to have
LONG, LONG REVERSE and SHORT, SHORT REVERSE conditions
Maybe very complicated... Anyway...
> Popov, would it be possible to add "close" option in addition to "reverse"
The "reverse" entry requires fully valid entry condition. However, your strategy is valid as it is:
Entry rules:
1. CCI below -100
2. Fast MA cross slow MA upward
Exit rules:
1. CCI above 100
2. Fast MA cross slow MA downward
It will work because the entry rules are always ANDed and the exit rules are ORd.

I injured my back recently and will take a few days off. I'm already working on the next major update - MT5 portfolio. It comes with indicators refactoring and optimization. When we are sure everything is working flawlessly, I'll continue with the other stuff. My plans are to introduce Cryptocurrency data feed from Binance and experts for TradingView.

Yes Popov, I mean like "reverse" but it only need one entry condition, so when I use do not exit indicator, it will automatically close position.
I'm so happy, thank you very much, Popov
Very nice Popov
