With pleasure - here it is corrected version.
I was trying to edit and remove the previous version (attachment) - just was not able to. Is it possible?

@romus, your first file loaded fine and allowed modification. Your second version is exported as a DLL which means no one can modify it. My hope is that was an accident and not on purpose to protect your "intellectual property" that is the reason for DLL.
I will take a look and see if we can take it further.
Forum policy does not permit uploading dll files, which your zip file contains. The reason is that a dll file is executable, but it is impossible to look inside it to see what it may do, including possible harmful actions. This is one way that viruses can be propagated.
I am sure that uploading the dll was simply a mistake, but this policy is important -- and as has been mentioned, the file cannot be read or used anyway.
I have deleted the post that contains this attachment.

@jmont1, just as an FYI, the reason for a .dll file is not to prevent anyone from seeing the source code -- the program code that the author wrote -- the purpose is that .dll and .exe files are executable. They are the only files that actually are run on a computer. Source code files, such as .cs files, have to first be compiled into one or the other in order to execute.
As you say, they do not contain source code in any human-readable form, and so it is not possible to examine them and see what they would do ahead of time. This is why futures.io does not permit them to be used as attachments.

Sorry.
It was not intentional. Just another way of exporting the NT8 strategy as previous one was not working.
I will have to learn the process properly as I do not do it too often.
Other way of getting the code is to copy all steps as per pictures attached - all screens/tabs are shown in this thread.

@romus, placed your logic in my Strategy Builder standard build to see if I could provide any constructive assistance. The only thing I came up with so far is to add a min/max RB which could be used to avoid Dojis or large breakouts and entering after a massive run. They are currently set to outer limits that would never come into play.
The build is based on the standard of two (2) contracts for target one and one (1) contract for target two runner. It includes the ability to set start/stop times with targets and stops. Hopefully it is fairly intuitive. I have trading set for NY times since I am not sure how you handle your PC clock in Australia. Some across the globe set it to NY or Chicago and your strategy analyzer appeared to use NY times (on a guess.)
My sincere hope is you add additional conditions that make it more profitable (with less draw down) and you post updates here so others and myself are able to assist. Cheers mate!!!
Oh and the first tab is just for indicators that U want visible on the chart without putting them visible everywhere. I.E... if you put on MACD and have it visible in every step you have a lot of secondary panels. So only put in step one visible. Then add Groups rather than single line entries so they can easily be noted and copy/paste to the other tabs.
Thank you for your input.
Wow! This complicates the task at hand for now - I need time to get further this path as I am just lost with those options (which are very logical for further enhancing of the strategy, I admit).
As lucky I was with just backtesting original set (for NQ - posted before) I could not find any positive set on few instruments I tried.
I have given it a shot and tried to optimise some of the parameters - NT froze!
So I need to take it slowly, step by step, to which ones benefit me most.
Cheers mate!!!
