- Zero cross indicator: indicator that generates a signal when a line crossed certain levels
- Chart indicator: indicator that generates a signal when it crossed and closed above/bellow price
- One buffer indicator: custom indicator that returns either 1 (long), 0 (no trade) or -1 (short) as its signal
- Two buffers indicator: indicator that generates a signal when either one of the buffers has a value
- Two cross indicator: 2 Moving Averages, MACD, Stochastic, RSI + MA, OBV + MA

You have the option of generating a csv file containing all the trade records that the expert found based on your settings. You also need to set the spread to your current account.
Remember to download the data before doing backtest:
- Your first bar should be at least the same year as your backtesting start period
- Your last bar should be at least the same year as your backtesting end period
There 3 build in strategy that you can test and trade:
- Standard Strategy (1 trade open for every signal with take profit and stoploss)
- Scale Out Strategy (2 trades open for every signal; breakeven adjustment as soon as the first trade hit takeprofit; second trade will close as soon as you have an exit signal)
- 1 ATR Breakeven Strategy (1 trade open for every signal; breakeven adjustment as soon as the first trade hit takeprofit; the trade will close as soon as you have an exit signal)
Exit signal needs to be turned on when you want to use scale out / 1 ATR breakeven strategy.
Lot calculation method:

Trading period:
- Hours must be in between 0-23 OR leave it blank if you want the expert to keep trading all the time
