Symmetric entry and exit conditions for "channel" indicators

Hi Mark,

I have a problem that makes using many custom indicators difficult.

First of all, it relates to symmetrical entry and/or exit rules.  I like to use symmetrical entry and/or exit rules when creating forex strategies.

Now imagine I have a fantastic break out indicator developed. It has two outputs, a break-up price (price at which resistance has been breached) and a break-down price (price at which support has been breached).  I import this indicator into SQ and have two indicators which I select in the custom indicators list; price break-up and price break-down.

Now, SQ find for example a great long entry rule:

long entry if price > iCustom(“break out”….) -> price break-up

However, now due to the symmetry rule, the short entry rule becomes:

short entry if price < iCustom(“break out”….) -> price break-up

Clearly, the logical short entry would be:

short entry if price < iCustom(“break out”….) -> price break-down (NOT price break-up!!!)

How to handle this?  How to make SQ know that the opposite rule involves the other indicator output?

At the moment, custom “channel” type indicators (those with two outputs) are not used correctly when the rules are symmetrical.

This is a major problem for me, as I use lots of custom indicators such as this, and SQ cannot generate meaningful symmetrical rules.

I think the best approach is that for an SQ4 indicator / code block that has more than one output (such as a channel) you must specify the related output, to that SQ4 can choose the opposite output for the opposite entry or exit condition.  This links the two outputs so that the generation rules are symmetrical of buy and sell...

Thanks,

Mike
