Any idea what might be causing this? I really liked the idea of custom templates but If I cannot compile them... :(

the problem is in your strategy. If you'll look at the Pseudo code of the strategy you attached you'll see:

if ((LongEntrySignal
   and Not ShortEntrySignal)
   and Not LongExitSignal)
{
    // Action #1
    Open Long order at Market;
         Duplicate trades disabled 
        Profit target = at (HeikenAshiOpen(Main chart)[1] < HeikenAshiHigh(Main chart)[2]));

        Move SL to BE = ((SMA(Main chart,20)[2] is falling for 2 bars at 3 bar ago)
   and BollingerBands(Main chart,50, 2.1) Upper band is rising);
...

The problem is that value for Move SL to BE should be either in pips, or ATR or value of some indicator. Instead it is a condition that returns true/false.

There is a problem in StrategyQuant, it doesn't support usage of RandomValue placeholders yet.

We will implement it but in the meantime you can use the attached template - you can see that insteda of random values in a fixed action it uses RandomAction with some values fixed and some random.
