Topic: Power of FSB

Hi FSB Family,

I am not a Developer, but I had a Company in the past with some developers and understand most of it. I started Algo-Trading with Metatrader and Tradingview and used ChatGpt to write the Indicators for me. I am very happy with that, but I want to go the next step. I automated everything in my last company and love to see things running smoothly.
This is exactly what I want to do in Trading. I started with the No Nonsense Forex Strategy which has a clear Framework and works with Indicators. I aim to use FSB to build it. I tried to write down the rules and attached them here. Can someone tell me if these points are possible to integrate? Bye the way: I have most Indicators in mq4 or pinescript.
Really appreciate any answers

230 Views. Can no one help with that? Or is it the wrong Forum to ask this?

By the look of the pasted description in the first post the short answer is no.

Thanks.
Can you explain which part is not working.
Writing the Indicators in C# is not a problem for me

Re: Power of FSB

Good to hear if c# coding is covered, if it is with AI I wonder how it manages with indis for FSB. There are quite significant things to consider!
But for the framework you laid out FSB is not suitable, firstly indis will not have access to position info. Therefore quite a lot of points can be crossed out already for exit points. Nor there will be a way for those multiple dynamic exits/entries. Incorporating news and volatility indis for backtesting in FSB can be done, but adding those to exported EAs means additional coding. The latter brings out the point that it is more practical to code everything in mql and save the hassle with c#. Additionally, playing with multiple platforms and then to top it off - make new revisions to exported EAs will make things more error-prone. Therefore the development time and effort doubles at minimum.
FSB is great at backtesting - it's fast and accurate with bar-by-bar trackability if one wishes. Mt tester on the other hand is garbage in comparison, total time-wasting trash. So if testing with rubbish is the target - why use FSB?
To sum it up - you will experience limitations if trying to implement the rules in the first post, few can be worked around (greater time + effort involved) and most of them don't fit the working concept of FSB.
