You don't need the parenthesis, though they shouldn't cause a problem. As long as ID16.SG1 is indeed returning true or false, then simply ID16.SG1 = TRUE or ID16.SG1 > 0 should do it. Just make sure in the Trading System Based On Alert Condition study, you've set it to a buy or sell entry, whichever is appropriate for your needs. Here are the Long entry input settings for one of my bots. https://snipboard.io/HiNsTB.jpg

Thanks for your help It works with one SG 1/ I test with multiple SG: =OR(AND(ID16.SG1 = TRUE,ID11.SG1=TRUE),AND(ID13.SG1=TRUE,ID11.SG1=TRUE)) and it doesn't work 2/ When the position is triggered, the TP and STOP dont display, i thought it trigger my Targets (TP and STOP) of the Trade Window Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-06-05 21:07:06

What exactly doesn't work? What happens? Are you certain all of those subgraphs are in fact returning true? My guess is, something isn't returning what you think it's returning. To diagnose these things, I always check each subgraph one at a time in a spreadsheet study, just to see the returned output and make sure it's what I expect.

Put each one in its own spreadsheet formula, and use the Chart Values Window to see them all at once (Window menu)
