 All of the indicators express a logical condition that can either be fulfilled or not fulfilled. When creating a strategy, you should cover the Long trading case and the program will assume the reverse rules for the Short trades. In this sense the strategy uses symmetrical conditions for long and short positions. The general case is that the condition is fulfilled for a short position but not for a long one or vice versa. In some cases, the condition can be fulfilled in both directions of trade at the same time (when using ADX for example). All of the indicators express a logical condition that can either be fulfilled or not fulfilled.

-There are cases when the strategy indicators produce equal signals in both directions. Let's see the following example:+There are cases when the Entry Rules' indicators might produce equal signals to trade in both directions at the same bar.

-That strategy will not trade because its rules give simultaneously permissions for both - Long and Short entries. If you set this example in the app and switch to the Short rules, you will see they will be equal to the Long rules. Since the conditions are ambiguous, the strategy acts in the safe way and prevents all entries.+The strategy above will not trade because its rules give simultaneously permissions for both - Long and Short entries. If you recreate this strategy in EA Studio and switch to **Short rules**, you will see that they will be equal to the Long rules. Since the conditions are ambiguous, the strategy acts in the safe way and prevents all entries.
