Topic: Bug. When max indicator period set to 2 Holy grail strats are generate

Hi Mr Popov,
I noticed the maximum indicator period function when using low periods sets the minimum indicator period to a negative value which is not practicable in real life trading or backtesting in MT tester.
EAstudio will produce many beautiful strats with smooth equity curves especially with the momentum indicator. The strats with negative period values do not backtest in MT.
It would be better if the minimum range of 10 be removed so that the maximum and minimum indicator value are specified by the user.
Thanks

I confirm this bug. A simple check if min < 1 or 2 would fix this though, even if the range is 10. MathMin / MathMax should do the trick.

It is fixed in Expert Advisor Studio v23.5.4.

The minimal Period the Generator uses is the minimum possible value for the corresponding indicator.

The maximal Period cannot be lower than 10 and higher than 1000.
