====== File Menu======

{{:fsb:manual:menu:file_menu.png|File Menu}}

The **File** menu consists of the commands used to save and load strategies.

===== New =====

The **New** command loads a "new" strategy. This means that the current strategy will be closed. If the current strategy has been changed after loading, **Forex Strategy Builder** will ask you whether you want to save it.

The "new" strategy is loaded from the **New.xml** file from the folder **.\Strategy**. By changing it, you change the default "new" strategy.

The fast key to open the menu is **Ctrl + N**.
===== Open =====

The command **Open** displays a dialog window for loading a new strategy. It will replace the current strategy.

If the strategy you load has been developed for a different market (instrument or time period), **Forex Strategy Builder** will ask you whether you want to load the necessary data.

If you click **OK**, the required new data will be loaded, while **Cancel** will leave the current data unchanged. You should bear in mind that a strategy designed for a particular market might not work for another market (different currency tool or\and time period).

Fast key **Ctrl + O**.

===== Save =====

The **Save** command saves the current strategy under the same name and in the same directory from which it was opened.

The saved file contains market data, the strategy's parameters, indicators and a short summary of the strategy.

Fast key **Ctrl + S**.

===== Save As =====

**Save As** allows you to save a strategy under a different name or in a different directory.

**Forex Strategy Builder** strategies are saved as **XML** files (**My Strategy.xml** for example).

===== Exit =====

The **Exit** command closes the program. Before you do that, save the current strategy if you don't want to lose the changes you have made in the meantime.

Fast key **Ctrl + X**.
