Thanks GCT,
Couple of questions here:
1) Any mechanical reason why you would not have taken that LONG trade earlier at about 23:30? I know it was just shy of the PP, but that would have been a discretionary 'no trade'. I'm presuming that by the rules this would have been a normal system trade entry, with no profit taken - ie. stopped out probably around 00:45?
2) What is the programming logic behind the number of bars that the trade entry indicator remains valid? Sometimes the indicator will show for only a couple of bars (such as in the above example), sometimes for many more bars. Is it simply that the histogram needs to be below the trigger and while ever the histogram bars are increasing, the trade entry indicator will continue to show (ie. paint more bars) ... or is there something deeper I've missed in the code?
P.S. Looking forward to the package (re my eMail) , as I don't think it's wise that I start 'in depth' until I'm sure I'm right up to date and have the correct 'logical' understanding.
