For example

If using 20 period donchian high and the high is on the 10th bar at 3900

then when the last alive bar cross the 3900 level the strategy should enter long on the first tick

An option to set the "analyze the current period" to no (as on the indicator) would solve the most of the problem

Then one can use 1 minute timeframe

Can someone help me with a strategy too? It is based on Donchian Channels too. Could not figure out how to start a new topic under "Strategies".
Thanks.

It goes something like this. The trend is determined by a 50 period SMA. If the Donchian Channels are trading above the 50 day SMA the trend is up and vice versa. For a long entry we want to see a bar trading completely inside the mid and lower Donchian Bands. Then we place a buy stop a tic or two above this bar. The reverse is true for a sell.
Thank you.

I made a backtest, with no problems.
I have one task for you.
Uninstall TS, Install new version, can be found on the FXCM website.
If problems persist, share parameters that you use with us.
Also send, crash report generated.
For this, you need, to copy crash report from crash folder before closing the platform.
