Greetings Vadim,

I have been back testing your SMA_Test_2 Crossover contest strategy in the JForex Demo and I would greatly appreciate your expertise in answering a few questions that I have:

1. Why does the strategy place multiple orders instead of one order at a time?
2. Who do some of the SMA cross events not seem to coincide with the trades?
3. Can a short trade of one lot be covered with two lots resulting in a new long net trade of one lot?

What I'm trying to do is open one long position at the close of a bar where the fast MA crosses above the slow MA and then close that position at the close of the next bar where the fast MA crosses below the slow MA.



Thank you my good man,
Kindest regards

1. Don't see it on picture
2. Don't see it on picture
3. No. You will get 1lot short and 2lot long positions. In Strategy Contest you have to close previous position to open new one.

Vadim,
Thank you for answering my previous questions.

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. This is the correct representation of the multiple orders being placed.
This picture is of your SMA_TEST_1 strategy that has the buy and sell trade commands reversed so the trades open in the correct direction.
Is it possible to close a single trade and open another single trade, in the opposite direction, at the close of the candles where the SMA's cross?

Thank you kindly,
