Thank you, It seems nice, But I'm trying to insert a simply function as:"
Abs1[0] = Math.Abs(Close[0] - Open[0]);" without modifing my strategy manually

The strategy builder is limited and at some point modification will be used by adding to the code.

Hello Fiocco,

This is correct. The Strategy Builder is limited and designed for very simple left and right comparisons. Any math, custom logic, or .NET method calls would require unlocking the script and coding by hand.

I will submit a feature request on your behalf to allow Math.Abs() to be used in the Strategy Builder.

Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will post in this thread for future reference.
