1. Introduction
This is the documentation for Sapphire Strat Maker and Sapphire Strat Maker Alt (Free) expert advisor - an EA which allows you to create your own strategy without coding. This is the beauty of this Expert Advisor: create your own strategies - be creative - and don't be locked to a single strategy anymore. Optimize the parameters you want to find the best sets and you're ready to go!
Feel free to contact me if you have any question about the documentation or need help to create a strategy.

3. Indicator buffers documentation/values
This documentation is provided in the following form: BUFFER = integer representation. Take the parameters of a Keltner Channels as an example (check the Documentation - Indicators to insert the correct parameters):
Here we load a 21-period Keltner Channels with 1.25 deviation, no shift, applied to the Close price and with the simple moving average method (check the enum documentation).
As per the documentation below, if we want to get the Upper Band of the Keltner Channels, we use the buffer at index 1; if we want to get the Lower Band, we use the buffer at index 2; if we want to get the Middle Line, we use the buffer at index 0.
Look how to create a buy signal when the close price crosses the Lower Band downwards and a sell signal when the close price crosses the Upper Band upwards:
As per the documentation, we don't need to specify the Bar shift value in this case, since a Crossing signal always takes bar 1 and bar 2. See that the we specify the indicator at index 0 (Keltner Channels) and the buffers 2 (for buy) and 1 (for sell) in the Indicator buffer parameter.
