Topic: One way only
Hello Gurus,
I have a question : is it possible to build in FSB strategy for selling or buy only?
If yes can you please help me and let me know how to achieve it ?
Thank you in advance!

Re: One way only
Yes you can. Use Long or Short indicator to filter direction.
Re: One way only
That is so cool! Although, I'm a bit curious of what kind of situation where you'd only want to test out only selling/buying... would it just be for personal amusement and curiosity? lol
Re: One way only
I find it helpful, it's very important to determine if a profitable strategy is "real" or just curve fitting and good luck. Some strategies look great, but using Long or Short, it could show it was mostly all longs in an uptrend -- so when uptrend ends, how will strategy perform?
Also, can use it with logical groups so one set of rules enter for longs, second set of rules enter only shorts.

Would you have a strategy available that you could post showing this principle..... two sets of rules...
I see that this could be a most useful feature, am not having any ideas as to how to accomplish it.
Thanks for your help

Re: One way only
I think this would be an example. Basically, turn on Use Logical Groups, then set all the long conditions to "A" with Long or Short set to "A", then add the short conditions set to "B" with Long or Short set to "B".

Re: One way only
Thanks for this, I will let you know how I make out with it.
Re: One way only
This gives me another idea for a variation on the synthetic data effort. Without messing with a strategy, you could just swap-in an inverse dataset. Seems like a great idea to check for over-optimization.

Thanks for this......... I see what you mean now after looking at that strategy
Thanks again.!!
Re: One way only
Glad I could help. Also, I have to mention: I don't think I ever used this technique in an actual strategy. The strategy above, I put together with 2 indicators that would give frequent signals, I just picked them at random.
