I can not understand why EMA_SMA cross does not trade in any cross-point? :(

Hi,

2 reasons that explains that:
1/ The strategy is subscribed on a specific trading period which means that your conditions are executed at the end of every candle and the beginning of a new one. Thus any position created is based on conditions verified on previous candle
2/ Shift value : you're using the previous candle to check your cross (which is correct) this means that the strategy will be forcibly looking to the previous candle cross (if so) in order to trade on the next candle you see ?

More information in this regards in the User guide : Help menu > User

Actually, is it possible to set StopLoss or TakeProfit from EMA_SMA crosses ??? I mean, on the above image, with arrows displayed crosses TP or SL to activate (or "Close and Cancel Position" order)???

Well there is a little logic problem: If the cross that you mention will happen in the future, meaning the position is already opened but no crossover happened yet, you should simply add a "Close position" bloc at the next cross. You should define the cross pattern (EMA above/below etc...)
