Currently experimenting with various configurations in FNC_DB.

Each week, I create and test several different trading setups. If a setup does not show profitability or potential on a weekly basis, I discontinue the experiment.

Since resuming this work only one setup has shown potential. However, as it is a swing trading setup, I consider it an exception and will continue to monitor it closely over time.

The basic parameters I use when creating a trading strategy are as follows:
Always set a stop-loss (SL).
Limit the maximum loss per trade to 0.1% of total capital.

How to interpret the performance on the FNC_DB dashboard:
The displayed figures represent the profit/loss percentage.
From left to right, the three values indicate:
P/L from today including open trades
P/L from today with only closed trades
P/L from the start date of the experiment

These metrics help me determine whether to continue testing each setup.

Dear Funchi San,
How should we configure EA settings when swing trading?
For example, a long signal came and we opened the trade, I activate the opposite signal as the exit signal. However, after closing the long trade, it does not open a short trade. Is there a setting in the EA for this?
How can we close the open trade when the opposite signal comes and open a trade in the other direction?

If an entry signal is generated, a new order will be placed.
This cannot be changed.

However, within the same time frame, it is not possible to place a buy order → close → buy order sequence.
On the other hand, a buy order → close → sell order sequence is possible within the same time frame.
If you can provide the currency pair and time when the issue occurred, the template displayed on your chart, and the FNC_DB template, I will be able to investigate further.
I cannot claim there are zero bugs, and words alone are not always enough to fully understand the situation.
If further investigation is required, I will need to recreate the exact same environment as yours.

exactly I need buy order → close → sell order sequence
For example, as in this example, I only want to open trades based on the direction of the kingfisher indicator. When it goes long, it will open a long trade; when it turns short, it will close the long trade and open a short trade. Subsequently, when a long trade comes in, it will close the short trade and open a long trade.

Is it not possible to post a template?
"Kingfisher's Net MTF nrp” is a recalculating and repainting type of indicator — are you asking your question with that in mind?

Yes , I know kingfisher make recalculation , but I try to understand how buy order → close → sell order sequence or vice versa based on indi.
here simple template

Try placing the Opposite signal in column 1 of the exit sign.

The EA will not trade with the latest version of FNC_DB when using this template.

From what I can see in the template, it appears that the latest version is not being used.
Please download it from Post #1 and refer to the installation instructions provided there.
(It doesn’t mean that this will resolve the issue — it simply means that only the latest version is supported.)

Now, the situation has slightly changed since the post at post1295571960.html#p1295571960
.

Although it's not explained in detail there, signal indicators that do not display a signal when it is newly detected as changed will not work with the default parameters of FNC_DB_EA.
As a temporary workaround, changing the "Allow entry if signal appeared in previous bars" parameter can make it work — but this comes with several issues.
In this case, I don't believe it's the appropriate solution.

As for your current question, it is difficult to handle this kind of situation using only repainting indicators.
I cannot support something that is already known to have issues in its operation.
However, if you have a better idea or alternative approach, I’d be happy to consider it.

Dear Funchi San,
I am expeimenting with your system .
I am struggling to configure EA for different pairs. I understand that we cannot define a specific loss percentage based on the balance of se do not use a predefined SL.
So I am using fixed lot size and let the signal drive entries and exits.
The problem is that lots for eurusd or xauusd have very different weight and a test is basically not relevant, as driven by the performance of the commodities alone.
I created two lists within the setup indicator but I can't find a way to use different lot size for the two lists. As an example I would use 0.1 lot for forex and 0.01 for commodities.
I know it may be a stupid question, but I could not find references in the various threads..
Thanks a lot!
