Topic: I am having trouble having MA cross closing the trade

Why is the moving average cross not closing up the position?
Is this an error or am i using it wrong?
The idea is to close an open short  position  when the cross over or the fast ma ( based on Highs)  is above the slow... why is it not closing???

it opens correct is getting out that seems to be the trouble

Plz Help

Re: I am having trouble having MA cross closing the trade

The Closing Point of your strategy is "Day Closing". It means that the position will be closed at the end of the day (Close at and of bar 23:00) if the logical condition is satisfied. If you want to close the position at every MA crossover, you have to set "Bar Closing" for closing point of the position.

Thank you Verymuch, i thought that Bar closing would close the trade at the end of the current bar therefore the trade would be just one bar long

Re: I am having trouble having MA cross closing the trade

Bar closing would close the trade at the end of the current bar therefore the trade would be just one bar long

This is correct if no exit logic conditions are used.

If put some exit filters, FSB will close a position at Bar Closing but only when at least one of the logic conditions is satisfied.
