Is there other ways to include all 28 pairings fit into the "Buttons" Indi's "List of Symbols (separated by ";") section by increasing the amount of character text that the code can accept? Because certain Brokers use extensions like USDJPY.ECN instead of just USDJPY to differentiate their plethora of accounts. And so, if I were to include all 28 pairings into that section it won't fit the already fixed number of characters allowed and thus I'm left with only 23 pairings shown on the buttons. Any help here would be appreciated TS

So my first trade didn't exactly go to plan.
I was prepared for it to go my way or to go against me.
Naturally, the market did something else, it went nowhere.
Unfortunately I neglected to screenshot the chart at the time of the trade so I don't have my lines here to show the levels.
I entered on an M5 set up at the green arrow.
Price went about +3 at the yellow arrow but I decided to follow the guidelines and not move my stop to BE+1 at this time.
Later, price went positive again by a couple of pips (at the red arrow).
In retrospect, I should have taken this opportunity to exit the trade for +1 or maybe even +2. The market was clearly ranging and the end of the NY session was approaching.
I ended moving my SL up to the new Daily Low (when the new D1 candle opened) and set a TP of +5 and went to bed.
During the night it went south anyway and hit my SL, would have taken out my original SL too so saved a few pips there.
Lost a few pips, but gained some valuable experience!

So I missed a good trade here, the reason being I was looking at the M15 and there was no setup.
I saw the setup on the M5 and I was unsure what to do and ended up not taking the trade.
The M15 candle had opened outside the area of interest and was green when the M5 setup happened.
So here's a question:
Is an M15 setup stronger than an M5 setup?
If the M15 opens in the area of interest and is moving down that would seem to represent a stronger move in the direction we want than the scenario above.
Of course in this case the M5 ended up being a +5 trade.
Any thoughts?
