Using the Parabolic SAR indicator for short periods

We often test an expert advisor over the longest possible periods, but in real trading we expect immediate results over a period of one month.

I created a set to find the best entry points and further protection and get maximum profit.I would like to improve this result with the help of your professional skills.

I don't understand why this MA filter isn't working. Buying should trigger when the MA is pointing up, and selling when it's pointing down. The screenshots show that this isn't the case. How do I set up this filter? Снимок экрана (147).png

Check logs to ensure this position was opened by this signal.

Set "Use closed bars only = true" to ensure current bar fluctuations haven't affected these entries.

Attach the tester ini so anyone can repeat your results
