***
* **Limit Backtest Window** – Restricts backtesting to a specific date range.
* **Start / End** – Defines the backtesting period.
* **Delay entry until position closes** – Prevents new trades until the current position is closed.
* **Invalidate sequence on opposing condition** – Cancels an active trade sequence if an opposite signal appears.
***
### **LONG & SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS**
These settings define the conditions for entering **long (buy)** and **short (sell)** trades. Each condition is checked sequentially to confirm an entry signal.
***
***
* **Condition 1-3** – Detects bullish/bearish price structures such as **Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Liquidity Prints, or Fair Value Gap (FVG) Mitigations and other SMC**.
* **Condition 4-5** – Compares price metrics (e.g., **close price equals another value**) for additional validation.
* **Condition 6** – Allows filtering by specific trading sessions (time-based entries).
* **Step** – Defines the sequence in which conditions must be met before confirming an entry.
Long and short entries mirror each other but apply to opposite market directions.
