Simple iADX crossover does not work

Hi I am just trying to create a simple ADX crossover to build into a bigger system but I cannot get any consistency on the crossover in back testing.
Basically I am just buying when this occurs.

Bar1 [ Plus DI > Minus DI ] && Bar2 [ Plus DI < Minus DI ]

However it seems that this simple statement does not produce a buy when the ADX crosses, any idea?

I've attached the Molanis EA file

Thanks for the help

That logic will give you most of the crosses. After changing the max number of positions I backtested it and looks fine. Try visual testing and you will see why some crosses are missed. Think about the cases when it goes up and then down.
MT4 backtesting is just ok, it's not perfect, it has some issues. You cannot backtest muti-currency - multi timeframe eas.

Thanks you are right it does work, I looks like the first couple trades might be a little bit off.

Great support and product
