Hi Hendrick,

Trial has started.

I assumed that "Correction" and "xfactor" were the same and have set "xfactor" to 0 accordingly.

Trust this is correct.

Hendrick,

Please advise. When you request a pair to be tested do you want a test with only that pair? or Can I test several pairs with new settings on the same demo account?
Thanks

You can test several pairs on the same account. But I'm particularly interested in the results for the USDJPY en EURJPY with the new settings<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

As of Oct 5, 2006 at 12:30 EDT, Hendrick is in 4th Place in the Automated Trading Championship 2006.

It is a day at a time, but so far your EA is performing great.

This weekend I will give a more comprehensive observation about the performance of Phoenix 4.2 until now. If I leave out the losers AUDUSD and EURAUD the starting balance of 5.000 has grown to 7.675 in less than 3 weeks. This gives me enough confidence to continue the development. And looking at the latest results of the "Automated Trading Championship" my Phoenix is now on the 4th place. I take another glass of wine on that!!

Best pairs until now are: CHFJPY, EURCHF, EURJPY, USDCAD and USDJPY.

And there is a lot more to improve!

Hi Hendrick,

I am posting this message here and not sending a PM so that others may learn what has happened.

I opened a new DEMO account for $10K with IBFX especially to trial your "EURJPY 1005" and started with your new paramaters as you requested. Then, so as to give your "new" EA the best unhindered chance to operate, I went back to my other demo account and closed a couple of other EA's I had running. I did not realise that turning off the Expert Advisor "master switch" at the top acted on all accounts - not only on the "open" account on the screen. So, I inadvertantly turned your new baby off as well.

I discovered this at 6am local time (Australia), and reactivated it immediately. So, we've lost about 4 hours. Sorry.

So, in case others did not know, turning Expert Advisor "master switch" on or off acts on ALL EA's on ALL accounts - not just the account that's open on your screen.

Hope this has helped and not confused anyone.

Kind Regards,

Grahame

so if i log off one accoutn that is running a EA, and log into another account, the one that is logged off still takes new trades? I didn't think it kept making new trades while logged out.

Hi Stricko108 & Hendrick,

I'm not sure. But, I have just checked the status of Hendrick's "EURJPY 1005" which I have recently reactivated after accidentally turning it off and it appears to be in limbo.

What I have is this: Expert Advisors "master switch" is ON. "EURJPY 1005" is turned ON on the "common" tab. AND I have the smiley face in the top right corner BUT the Journal tells me "Experts are disabled because account has been changed"

OH . . . . . I don't believe it! It has just opened a trade (I am running 2 computers and it is on the other one.) EXCELLENT!

We're officially under way with "EURJPY 1005", Hendrick!

Regards to All,

Grahame

It has not been 24 hours but I like to print the report around 0 GMT if I am near my computer. This test is for the new setting on USDJPY - the open trade. NOT the closed EURJPY which is the old settings. I opened the account the same time I made post #776 the USDJPY trade opened in the first 10 minutes after starting Phoenix.

Here is the second test I started today. This test uses the new test settings for both USDJPY and EURJPY. I started this test just before I made post #782 to the thread. The first trade opened a few hours later.

Hi Takaya,

One of the sub-folders of the folder where you installed MT4 is called "logs". Open the latest log-file and look if you can find more information about this error.

Hi Hendrick,

I just started test on $/Jpy. Sell just hit @0215 cst. Bid;118.13. Although the sell hit whilst I was inputing new parameters and I had a smiley; after clicking 'ok' for inputs the smiley went frowny. But trading is still actively moving. TTYL, Kevin

I got my IBFX mini account to start trading micro and smaller lots with Phoenix.

This post is based on trading micro and smaller lots on a mini account with 'InterbankFX'. I do not know if it is applicapable to other mini accounts with a micro lot option.

I am a poor cut and paste, trial and error programmer so wait for other opinions before following my suggestions. There might be better or easier ways to fix the problem.

With an IBFX mini account you enter lots=1.0 to trade a 10K lot, lots=0.10 to trade a 1K micro lot, and lots=0.01 to trade a $100 lot. You can not go out to a 3rd decimal or you get an error. So I had to make a few changes in the parameters as noted in the zip file. I also set AccountIsMicro to false.

IBFX mini accounts label currency pairs 'EURUSDm' rather than 'EURUSD' like regular accounts. Phoenix needed the little 'm' added to each pair in the code to work with a mini account. See zip file.

Phoenix has now opened 3 trades $400 lot each with a $250 balance since I made the changes to the currency names and the following changes:
extern double MaximumRisk = 0.19;
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,2);
if(lot<0.01) lot=0.01;

MaximumRisk is one word above but I can't get it to stay together.
