I did not post replies up to now because I waited for Phoenix to take off. At this stage it is still on the runway. It hit some water and is a few feet under now...

I hope it will surface soon and then take off. I am positive!

I started it on 26/09 with all your settings (updated as you sent it) on USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and USD/CHF.

Deposit $5000
Equity $4765
Float -$47

The float always stayed low - a very good sign.

I have problem understanding to ZIP files. (Using CAMUnzip) My head is hurting trying. Once I got it I will send the files.

Big Congrats.

You got me blushing there Wackena! Mind you, it's still a long time till the end of the contest. Many thanks for your statements. As usual very professional. I've tried to convert the statement to an Excel file but got a very different result than your Excel file. Are you using some kind of template for this?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

I am at lost here. Backtesting only gives blanc
Backtesting other EA's works just fine with Alpari data, but somehow it just won't do anything with Phoenix.
Started forward testing at IBFX and FXDD.
Sofar 1 trade opened at FXDD but nothing at IBFX.
Somehow every EA I tested works better at FXDD. Got to do with the tighter spread of FXDD while IBFX often changes the spread without reason.

Is there more information about what Phoenix 4.2 exactly do?
I have Phoenix manual v.1.0
I assume that it is a little different because the results are not the same anymore.(in a positive way )

2nd place at championship now, GO GO GO!!

Hi guys,

I just purchased a laptop to be able to work away from home and to watch trades when I'm not at my desktop... it's functioning quite well thank you. Something is happening that I can't quite resolve regarding the backtesting. When I'm runnng backtests of P4 on the desktop there's no problem. The alpari data is fine and there are good results however after duplicating the setup for MT4 exactly in every respect, the backtests return very few trades, there are very few bars modeled and the modeling quality rarely exceeds 40-50%. I've tried reloading the data, etc., to no avail. Anyone with a helpful suggestion will be held in the highest regard.

Oh and congratulations Hendrik. P4 is kicking butt in the competition!

MT4 is really picky about its history files... I have many problems with the history files and backtesting too. Best solution I have found is to manually go into the charts for each time setting and make sure you can scroll back in time through the entire history of your backtest without MT4 trying to download the charts from the server. If it is trying to download the charts from the server rather than your harddrive, it is missing data. Once you get those gaps filled in, you should be able to get your backtest to operate properly. ... lot of work, i know. But its what I had to do. Nothing else seemed to work.

Hi Hendrick,

Results for EURJPY 1005: SELL opened at 2006/10/05 @ 21:02 @ $149.39. Went the wrong way up to $149.82 then was coming back down when NFP hit. I closed manually as it went through $149.39 for ZERO P/L because it was up and down like a YO-YO. Still don't know where it's going.

Not much help, I'm sorry.

Regards,

Grahame

There I was, sitting behind my screen and waiting for the outcome of the Nonfarm Employment Change and its effect on Phoenix in the CONTEST. I had an open SELL for the USDJPY when the price starts dropping. So trade closed in profit. And then suddenly Phoenix went LONG with 5 Lots while the price was still dropping. Ok, I thought, this is his first mistake. But to my surprise the price went up like a rocket. In only 21 seconds it made a profit of
$ 1.774! Never seen this before! I made Phoenix myself but sometimes I really don't understand how it makes its decisions!

Wish me luck, because tomorrow I have an interview with the organisation of the CONTEST. I'm already a little bit shaky now!
