Verify how the self generated EA code I made works

[jjsantos88]

I just made a self generated EA code for testing. Even after reading the documentation, I am confused how it works, especially on where the value "significance" is based.

Anyway, I just want to ask if this code opens order only if all of the conditions are met, or it opens order even only one condition is met? I tried testing it but I can't seem to view exactly so I want to verify by code.

If it does open order even one condition is met, how do I make it open an order only if all conditions are met.

Update on this, I've found this helpful article:

To keep it short, it seems the threshold must be 100
