I started the test this morning (Sep 27) at 8 o'clock GMT on three Japanese pairs:
USDJPY, EURJPY and GBPJPY.

The broker is Velocity4x, account opening balance USD 5000, leverage: 100.
I use the default settings on M15 timeframe. MM: true, risk: 0.02

There are two trades so far:
09:15 sell 0.10 lot USDJPY @ 117.15 currently -25.54
10:30 sell 0.10 lot EURJPY @ 148.97 currently -22.13

Hi Hendrick and everyone,

I am getting ready to take phoenix 4.2 live on my FXDD account. I have been testing it for a few days now on the chf/jpy , gbp/jpy, usd/jpy, eur/jpy with your settings. What pairs would you suggest on 1000.00 mini account? If all goes well I will deposit more funds to trade more pairs. It seems with jpy pairs phoenix does really well and with the eur/usd and chf/usd the firebird 63g ts does really well on those 2 pairs. Let me know what you suggest and I will keep everyone posted of the results. Thanks for all your hard work. Valerie......
Valerie,

Please wait for Phoenix 4.3. Version 4.2 is for testing only and need some additions before you can take it live.

Changing the settings of the GBPJPY was not a good idea. So change the GBPJPY to the following settings:

SMAPeriod = 14;
SMA2Bars = 2;
Percent = 0.025;
TakeProfit = 42;
StopLoss = 84;
TrailingStop = 0;
OSMAFast = 11;
OSMASlow = 26;
OSMASignal = 6;
EnvelopePeriod = 5;
Fast_Period = 12;
Slow_Period = 20;
DVBuySell = 0.0045;
DVStayOut = 0.021;

Mike,

If I were you I would use MM=true for your forward test. Try for a start all the pairs with the JPY. I think the other pairs needs a little bit more of tweaking. Keep us posted!

Hi Vlaka,

That's a nice starter! Your statement and all the others are some kind of prove that Phoenix 4.2 and the JPY is a perfect match. I'm sure we will find the right settings for all the other pairs. Keep us posted Vlaka!

Hi Wackena!

From your attachments (very professional!) I see that you have converted your statements to an Excel-sheet. Can you please show me how you've done that? Is it some kind of tool? I'm very curious about it!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

I've changed it from 0.1 to 1.0 , but it's still the same .

After your produce the report in the MT4 platform, start excel, click open, select file of type=all files, find .htm report file and open. Then all I do is XXXXX out my name and account number and then select all to reduce font size to 8 pt.

you would have to turn MM=FALSE (That's Money Management switched off). However, we don't advise you to!
For 84 S/L: I don't like that either. I think it's to much for m15 but...
And btw, to have a T/P which is half the S/L is not a very good idea I think - just look at the risk:reward threads in the forum...
Of course, the backtesting results are better with such a high S/L... :/

I agree it is a little uncomfortable but that being said phoenix has to have room to breath for the trade to develope sometimes. I may try adding a little more to the stoploss but only on a case by case basis to see how it plays out. Just my thoughts....Valerie......
