-  * "**Accumulation Distribution**" includes the sum of the volumes since the beginning of the data series. It will give different values if you test your strategy on data with different length or from a different broker or data server.+  * "**Accumulation Distribution**" includes the sum of the volumes since the beginning of the data series.

   * "**Bears Power**" and "**Bulls Power**" are not completely symmetrical for long and for short positions. They also use only the Exponential Moving Average in MetaTrader.   * "**Bears Power**" and "**Bulls Power**" are not completely symmetrical for long and for short positions.

-  * "**Donchian Channel**" indicator measures the bars High and Low for a particular interval. Because EA Studio trades only at Bar open, it seems that this indicator gives signals only when there is a gap in the data, which is not very common for the forex market.+  * "**Donchian Channel**" indicator measures the bars' High and Low for a particular interval.

   * "**Entry Time**" and "**Exit Time**" indicators determine entry and exit time intervals. The Generator may choose intervals that are not very suitable for our market. These indicators are best for use as "Preset Indicators".   * "**Entry Time**" and "**Exit Time**" indicators determine entry and exit time intervals.

-  * "**Long or Short**" makes the strategy trading in one direction only. It may be good for experiments or for some stock markets but is not suitable for every case because generally, we want symmetrical strategies.+  * "**Long or Short**" makes the strategy trade in one direction only.

   * "**MACD**", "**MACD Signal**", "**Moving Average of Oscillator**" use only Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in MetaTrader. The EMA calculates its current value based on its previous value. This method leads to slightly different values for different length of the data series. It may give different signals if we have different data for testing and trading. Using EMA is OK if we import the full data series from the broker.   * "**MACD**", "**MACD Signal**", "**Moving Average of Oscillator**" use only Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in MetaTrader.
