Topic: BUG - Donchian Channel

Hi Mr Popov.
I have simple system based on Donchian Channel, in short entry is on Lower Band.
It behaves as designed in FSB, but I was very surprised what happened in FST.
Strategy made transaction in the middle of bands.

I made some test, and imported the currency data back to the FSB, and it was fine ( == no such transaction).
The chart looks the same in both FST & FSB.
(btw. I checked the logs -> 0 pipe errors)

Attaching all the details.

Re: BUG - Donchian Channel

What might be imortant here, that the transaction was made just after I started FST. Would it be possible that FST was still loading the bars, and that`s why it made this totally wrong transaction? Next transaction made by this strategy was made in proper place.

Hey Acer,

Difficult matter this is. Very hard to reproduce the false trade. I think it's not an indi error but something else. If multiple copies are used, firstly one assigns the proper chart from MT by setting the ID, if then Enter and Start Automatic Execution is hit at the same time can it go nuts?

If you open FST and don't connect it to any chart, you should see the default EU D1 chart in FST, so if you then set up your strat, what does it read on last couple of bars? Are trade conditions satisfied?
