With EUR-USD over a 3 month period, I can't find any combination of parameters that produce any trades.
Also, could you explain how the limit and stop loss values are derived, since they're not directly set by the user?

hi,

i have used this strategy by puting stop at 1 ATR limit at 2ATR . this strategy {when the opposite condition fulfills} closes open position before it reaches the limit level

can you add exit options 1. after reaching limit and stop level
2. as per strategy

thanking you

Hello!

After about two or three trades this straregy inevitably get the following error, stopping the strategy.

Fractal_ATR_Strategy.lua:313 The value of the rate is incorrect. It must be a number > 120.108.

The 120.108 figure is the price. This error doesn't show up in backtesting or optimizing. Any advice here? It wouldn't be a huge deal except that the strategy is actively controlling when to close the trade, so when it stops it seems there's no stop/limit for the open trades. Thank you!

I can not reproduce it.
Continues testing on a demo account.

Can you provide an error line number?
