  I backtested your code and it enters Short for today (top curve).

  My version (lower curve) also enters Short on both Backtest and Forward Test

  yes, but as you can see in my picture, live took short, and backtest went long, it was on FRIDAY the 16th on “sverige30 cash” (sweden30 cash).

  Apologies … just shows how wrong one (me) can be! 🙂

  Out of interest I just changed my  TF to 5 mins (as I noticed your pics show 5 min TF) anyway on my version the short trade on Friday changed to a long trade!

  When the NOP value is too low, it could happen to get a buy and short on the same bar. But that’s not the case here it seems.

  To make it more clear I’ve written 2 histograms. When both are the same colour it’s a buy/short next bar at market.

  okay, what could be the case for this one? Backtest gives one signal and live the other?

  Here an example. NOP value set to 1 for the dax which is too low. But it can happen if you have a big range bar.

  Then all criteria are met, from the Main criteria and the Exra criteria. Any solutions?

  it does not show both long and short.

   

  But do i understand your main concept right? : open up and price goes UP x points, its a LONG. Opens down, and moves DOWN x points, its a SHORT?

  It’s more complicated than that and hard to explain.

  If the extra criteria is disabled and use a cross over/under function in the main criteria it is. Then you can buy at the red and green  lines with a limit order.

  But now only when the main criteria and extra criteria are matched its an enter. Use the histograms which may help a bit.

  About the timezone, I add a pic of my settings.

  Guys, can I run two systems in real account  (nearly the same, few changes regarding take profits and range breakout) on the same Index ?

  Yeah sure you can I do it all the time.
  Why did you think you couldn’t?

  You may get rejections IF both Systems from the same Platform try to take the SAME trade at the same time! The Platform will then send the Order again 1 second later until it gets filled and so then both Orders have been filled.
