Hello,
In rotational mode it holds 2 * WorstRankHeld TOP ENTRY signals, in regular mode it holds
2 * MaxOpenPos TOP ENTRY signals. By changing settings you can change how many ENTRY signals are kept.
There is no point in holding more since they would never
be used so why waste memory. All scale and exit signals are kept (because you never know at the scanning
time which exit signals will be needed because at that time you don't know which trades are taken).
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
