Hi Gordon,
Yes, you can choose a direction when you generate strategies.
before you start the EA Strategy generation, go to the generator settings, and click on Preset Indicators:
From there you can choose what indicators the generator to use always in your strategies. Click on Add a new entry rule:
After that select the indicator Long or Short:
Choose the direction.
Keep me updated on the results. I always wanted to test this but never had the time for it…
I would still use SL, because you will be in the wrong direction when the trend changes, and it will at one moment.
