| For example you know that to open a position all the Opening Logical Conditions have to be fulfilled at the same time. But how do we express that not any of the conditions should be fulfilled but all of them at the same time? Here is a Logical Group that is created automatically by FSB Professional. Let's name this group A. Only when all the conditions in A are fulfilled FSB Professional will take action (open a position). | For example you know that to open a position all the Opening Logical Conditions have to be fulfilled at the same time.

| When an indicator uses Longer Time Frame (LTF), the Signal shift will be in the strategy main data frame bars. For example if a strategy period is H4 and an indicator LTF is D1, the indicator will be calculated on a D1 data series but the signals will be shifted with H4 bars. | When an indicator uses Longer Time Frame (LTF), the Signal shift will be in the strategy main data frame bars.
