Forex Strategy Builder saves the button status in a config file. Actually two status records exist - one when you open the chart from the left-hand indicator chart and other, when you use the balance / equity chart.

Normally the "left" chart is used for showing the indicators, whereas the "right" shows balance / equity and floating profit loss charts.

===== Orders and Positions =====

The chart shows entry / exit orders always exactly at the indicator values. The program further corrects the position entry price with the //spread//. If a position is transferred to another daily bar overnight, the program corrects the position price with the respective //swap number//. Exit order is plotted at the indicator value.

===== Position Lots =====

Green and red bars on the horizontal axis correspond to the number of open lots. The golden bar shows that a position was closed. Some times red bars change with green or vice versa. That means that the position was reversed. The lot bars show the status at the end of a bar. Therefore, if a position was opened and closed in the same bar, only one gold lot bar will be shown.

[[fsb:manual:true_charts]] are a new concept for plotting technical indicators. It aims to give better and more accurate presention of indicator values on the chart.
