Quoting hidetherealDislikedCan somebody post the most up to date settings? It has been changed so many times I'm not sure which is the most current.Ignored
MIG statement (MT4 standard broker) as of 12 Oct 06. Starting equity $5000, current equity $4968. Forward testing pairs USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD with Pheonix_EA_v4_2_01. Appologies for not posting up statement of 11 Oct. Also please note I accedently closed down Metatrader today for a few hours.
One thing to note in the statement is that GBPJPY trade is still running even though the target of 221.56 was clearly hit at around 7am GMT. There must have been execution problems at the time. The USDJPY unfortunately did get stopped out but P4 put in another sell order soon afterwards that hit the target within 11 hours
.
I will now switch to Pheonix_EA_v4_2_03 and use additionally to the above EURJPY, GBPUSD, GBPCHF, AUDUSD, EURCHF, EURAUD (basically all the pairs P4 has predefined settings for and the MIG broker supports).

Ok, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City> is not a bad EA. Look at your statements and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> is still in the top 10 of the Contest. So it has some kind of potential. However what I don’t like is that some trades are in contradiction to each other. It don’t take currency correlation in account (if you don’t know what currency correlation means, just Google it). So I want to build a correlation function in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> and this is the idea behind it:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
<o> </o>
There are 2 pairs that are far more profitable than the others: GBPJPY and USDJPY. What I want to do is to make a special (test) version of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>, Phoenix Account Booster (I don’t like small gains, I want my account to increase substantially within 1 year) that’s taken the following currency correlation in account:<o></o>
<o> </o>
SELL - GBPJPY will means:<o></o>
BUY EURCHF, SELL CHFJPY and BUY EURGBP at the same time<o></o>
BUY GBPJPY :<o></o>
Sell EURCHF, BUY CHFJPY and SELL EURGBP<o></o>
<o> </o>
BUY USDJPY:<o></o>
SELL EURUSD, SELL GBPUSD, BUY USDCHF<o></o>
Sell USDJPY:<o></o>
BUY EURUSD, BUY GBPUSD, SELL USDCHF<o></o>
<o> </o>
The only thing you have to do is to attach PhoenixAccountBooster to the charts GBPJPY and USDJPY and the EA will do the rest. Is it risky? Yes of course. If one trade goes against you, all the other trades will do the same. So we have to find a way to keep this risk between acceptable borders. First is the performance until now of the GBPJPY and the USDJPY with <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>. According to this performance you may expect more profitable trades than loosing trades form these pairs. Furthermore I will try to find new settings for a SL, TP ratio of 1:2 (it’s now 2:1). <o></o>
<o> </o>
Problem is that you can’t backward test “correlation EA’s”, so I have to forward test it on a demo-account. I will post this special version in the weekend. So if you have some space to test another EA the please be my guest!!<o></o>
<o> </o>
Please give me some feedback about this!<o></o>
