Hi Spillsome,
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried to look for the code in the script but couldnt find it. Im totally brainless when it comes to programming. It minus well be written in latin. Would it be possible for you to post your phoenix version with that change?

Thanks

Jon

Hey Jac28403,

I had the same problem. I've added the code

lot = lot * 10;

before the code

if(MM==false) lot=Lots;
if(AccountIsMicro==true) lot=lot/10;
return(lot);

in the function LotsOptimized().

Recompile it...et voila

but I am sure we can find a better workaround...

Jac28403, I will send it to your email because I don't want to post my own version of Phoenix on this forum. Hendricks might not appreciate that different versions are floating around...

Would someone be so kind as to post the optimized settings for USD/JPY please?
Tks
Berdj
Hendrick was kind enough to incorperate the best and most current settings into his Phoenix.
If you want to have a look at what they are, all you need to do is open the EA in MetaEditor and you can find all settings for each supported currency pair.
Enjoy

Hi all,

I have been following this tread with great interest, and I am amazed how helpful everybody is here.

I am using the EA with each pair that is coded for in it, I left it on all night, but no trades were executed. Do I need to modify any settiongs?

I am using the default Metatrader demo account, and I am in the eastern time zone, in case that matters.

Thank you
Steve

Load up 15 min charts for the pairs you wanna run the EA on.
I loaded mine in the one hour chart, could that be the problem?

My conclusion so far about the Phoenix Modes: Mode 1 and 2 are OK (even a combination of these 2). Mode 3 sucks. So I want to drop Mode 3 in favour of a new Mode (much better). Any objections?

The data-feed of some brokers for demo-accounts are worthless. It’s no use testing an EA like Phoenix if you can’t trust the data-feed for demo-accounts. One of my micro-account demo's at www.realtrade.lv shows completely different trades than my other demos.

Please give me some feedback about brokers that have no (significant) differences between data-feed for their demo- and live-accounts.

I have excellent experiences with NEUIMEX. Some of you mentioned North Finance. Any more?

If only people would read the manual ... it says in there to attach it to 15 mins charts for the currency pairs that Phoenix has settings for.

... perhaps Hendrick need to create a special thread called : "Phoenix 5 for Dummies" ...

I agree, people must read before ask stupid questions....

This problem has been a subject more than once in this thread. To solve this for once and for all I opened a micro-account demo at www.realtrade.tv. (they have demo-accounts for micro accounts) and Phoenix worked as it should be for micro-accounts. There is no need to change the code. Please give me some feedback on this.

Hi Hendrick,

mode3 doesn't work that great, I agree! Let's drop it. However, it looked nice to have 200 pips in one trade on USDCHF!
Please keep us posted about your new idea to use a combination of Mode2 and Mode1.
Congrats on your first place! That's so great!

PipSteve:

Run P5 on the 15 min charts. Make sure that you look under the Tools -> Options menu and have EA's enabled under the ExpertAdvisors tab, don't worry we've all been there. MT4 has a lot to learn...

jac28403:

Settings:

Mode=1
Lots =0.1
MaxR=.05
MM=True
DecFactor=0
MicroAcct=False
PrefSettings=True
CloseAfterHours=0
BEAfterPips=30
TS=30

Harry: is that break even and TS set at 30 going to corrupt the logic???

Run P5 on the 15 min charts.
Thank you very much Palmer. I noticed that the latest version posted is 4.02. How far back do I need to go to get P5? Thank you.

Howdy Harry! Well I guess you probably know my opinion about mode3 :-) I wouldn't drop it just yet.. Based on this weeks forward tests I ran, I think it's not as bad as you might think it is.
Mode 3 is outperforming the other modes at the moment.. This is on a NF account. Was planning on posting my findings 2night after the close of the market but will do it now already. It shows all 3 modes, both on Neuimex and on NF. I know the results are only from demo accounts but still... (takes bloody ages for me to go live... will keep you posted!)
Just a thought about my good results with mode 3... I did use a relative small starting balance so the results might have been influenced by Phoenix not opening as much trades as it might have done with more 'breathing space'/bigger margin. Any thoughts?

On the matter of using the time filter again (as you used in Firebird) I think this might be a good idea. But I must add I'm still convinced <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> can be profitable running 24h a day..
