Quoting DagnarDislikedGreat job, cool EA, my respect, Hendrick.
Trying some backtests of different phoenix versions, results differs from doubling (and more) deposit to margin call. Looking at indicator for this EA (dot't remember by who, posted at championship forum), I've got an idea - open trade only by some consecutive signals.
added some code to EA( like this for sell signal) :
if (CurTime()-s_time>900) {ss=ss+1; bs=0;}
if (ss>=signal_count) {
res=OrderSend(...SELL....);
ss=0; s_time=CurTime();}
I think, it will help to filter out single signals at gaps, etc..
Made this for ph_4 (contest ver) and for ph_5 at mode1 (last ver) - the result is a new significant parameter for optimizing using pref_settings=true; For EURJPY, for example, I've got 50% increase in profit turning signal_count to 5 (not less than five consecutive signals opens trade). Surprisingly, this didn't reduces total amount of trades, only placing orders more precise.
Attaching both changed files, hope it's usefull contribution to phoenix developmentIgnored

Quoting OligarhDislikedAppeal. Dear Hendrick be kind say the opinion concerning the offered introductions to the expert. And how we all must correct Phoenix 5 Mode 3?Ignored
Quoting tradeigelDislikedto your question about posting the statement:
No, I'm not gonna post the statement, back test it yourself. I am not saying that to offend you or sth. just but because your OWN results are way more valuable to you.
And to this "Appeal":
I'm not sure what you're talking about but Hendrick left the forum so he probably won't answer you.
And btw, read the whole thread, please. That is one reason why Hendrick left this thread, I think, so many people asking questions which they wouldn't ask if they had read the whole thread. That is: unnecessary questions.Ignored
Quoting tradeigelDislikedgreat, Vince.
@ wackena and all the others:
If there is really such a big difference between demo and live we should try to compensate that. Is it because the price / quotes are different and therefore less high-quality signals are generated? If so, we could let one demo run and pipe its signals as 'Buy at market' for the live account. So if a demoSignal is generated then open an order live. But if the discrepancy is because of the requotes, slippage and spread widening, then it sucks. Then we can just choose the best broker and trade there.
What do you think?Ignored

Quoting wackenaDislikedAs I feel most do, I use the present Strategy Tester and available data to help me develop EAs. Backtest bar data is basic OHLC data. LIve data would contain the interlace movements within each bar. Until LIve tick data is recorded, purchased or made available from Brokers, my confidence in Backtesting is moderate at best. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>Ignored

Quoting wackenaDislikedEveryone should ask their Broker if they have Live tick data feeds now for Strategy Tester. If not, do they plan to offer one soon. If someone finds a Broker providing Live tick data for MT4 Platform Strategy Tester, please post the Broker name.<o></o>

Quoting ericbachDislikedGreat job Dagnar,
I believe this enhancement should be made into an updated version called Phoenix 6, since it works so well!
I've tested it and it works like a charm.
Does anyone else agrees with me?
Now we just need to figure out the best overall settings for eur/usd or if someone already has them, can you please share them.Ignored
