Hello,

I have constructed my own version of the webinar strategy “Visual JForex Webinar: building a scalping strategy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1NRREGzG5Q

However, when I test the strategy in both VJFX and JFX, no positions are ever opened (see attached .jpg). I have gone through the webinar many times and I have failed to locate my errors. :?

The strategy rules are:
- Pair: EUR/USD
- Time: European session only (from 7: 00 to 16: 00 GMT)
- Entry rules:
* Spread below 0.5 pips
* If 2 last one minute candles and the last 10 second candle are on the same direction, follow the trend
* Take profit: 5 times the spread
* Stop Loss: 10 times the spread
* Trailing step: one take profit in pips
* Amount: 2% of the equity
- Stop opening positions if the use of leverage goes above 30%
- Do not leave any position open over the weekend

If someone can look at the attached strategy and identify why it does not function, I would be grateful.

Regards,
RT

Hi there,

I just went through the strategy and noticed that the issue is with the Long and Short counters that are reset to 0 whatever the condition is... So no trades..
You should get some trades if move the assign to 0 blocks from the start point and put them where you need the reset action to be done (Could be after the trading commands or elsewhere depending on the strategy spec)

Hope this helps
