[B126] SQ uses hard coded values instead variables

SQ creates strategies like this regularly:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

int MagicNumber = 11111;
int EMAPeriod = 20;
int OSMAChangesSignalPrd = 9;
int OSMAChangesFastEMA = 234;
int OSMAChangesSlowEMA = 352;
double PriceEntryMult = 2.5;
int BarsValid = 37;
int MoveSL2BE = 43;
double SL2BEAddPipsCoef = 20.4;
int ProfitTarget = 55;
int StopLoss = 25;
int TrailingStop = 64;
int TrailingActivation = 183;
int ATRPeriod = 40;

Main chart = Current Symbol / Current TF;

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Trading rule: Trading signals (On Bar Open)
//--------------------------------------------------------------------                   
LongEntrySignal = (EMA(Main chart,EMAPeriod, PRICE_CLOSE)[1] <= High(Main chart)[1]);

ShortEntrySignal = (EMA(Main chart,EMAPeriod, PRICE_CLOSE)[1] >= Low(Main chart)[1]);

LongExitSignal = (OSMA(Main chart,234, 352, OSMAChangesSignalPrd)[1] changes direction upwards);

ShortExitSignal = (OSMA(Main chart,OSMAChangesFastEMA, OSMAChangesSlowEMA, OSMAChangesSignalPrd)[1] changes direction downwards);

As can be seen, the "LongExitSignal" uses hard-coded numbers instead of the correct variables like in "ShortExitSignal". This is also the same in the MQ4 / MQ5 code, not just the pseudo-code.
