Trade Setup Mode - Bitwise Flags

In the link below you will see that the trade setup is set to 642, what does this mean 642 I wasn’t aware that a 642 was even available, even if using combo’s…

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

642 is the sum of rules Flags/Codes for the Rising/Falling MAs rule 2 + 128 + 512 

The description states you can use rules - integers from 0 to 1023

So the logic here is the fast,slow and triple are all sloping the same way for a signal to occur

Please select the parameter and read the description - resize the panel bottom right vertically to see all the writing if it is truncated

Bitwise Flags are a common feature and widely used in MTDS and other MT tech
The description will therefore in most cases state it's using BitWise Flags 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024 etc
Either logical AND or OR

In this case its using Logical AND so therefore all rules must agree at the same time -or within a window/lookback
So you can Add the Flag in the description together to turn on one or more rules in the same parameter

When optimising it is very easy to run a test from 1 to 1023 which is all the unique combinations of a bitwise set of flags: 1 to 512
