It's not symmetrical....
May I ask why is it like this? Truly symmetrical would be to trade both directions when both signals are on OR both signals cancel each other out and don't trade at all. Why do we default to preferring longs over shorts when we are supposed to be symmetrical?

you are right, but it would mean that lower portion of strategies will trade at all.
With this long takes preference.
There is usually a long bias on most markets anyway.

OK thanks for the reply! I will make a feature request to make it optional so us currency traders don't all have to make a new strategy templates to get proper symmetry.

However if you get a conflicting signal it is better to skip the trade since the cause is probably Chop or flat market.

we decided we'll not change how it is handled in SQ X, there are sereval possibilities.
SQ X allows you to use your own strategy template and handle it any way you want.

But if you want to have different logic you can use your own strategy template.
