Hi all. I hope my post about the 8 losses did not offend Hendrick or anyone else. I certainly join everyone in thanking him for his dedication to this thread. Whats more, I hope he knows that we all take a bit of pride in the fact that he is leading the contest. I also want to say that I participate in other forums and this is one of the very few that has been lucky enough to have participation from the EA or method creator. I hope that after he takes a break, Hendrick will come back where he is admired and wanted.


Thanks for everything!

Anyone know how the divergence function works? I can see programmatically what it is doing, but how does this indicate a divergence? I don't understand why it needs 4 different MAs. If this question has already been answered, just point me in the right direction. Thanks.

OK, Hendrick, you are right and fully deserve it.
No more new ideas
let's just enjoy Phoenix run in championship and see you getting the
big prize (I hope)
Then you can have vacation break and think about future EA's (maybe)


thanx again and we will be just fine in sync with your champion one...

cheers

Before I started this thread I had no idea that it would take so much time: answering all the questions, proposals and so on. Only yesterday I suddenly realized that it was no longer fun to work with <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:city>. All this work has a negative influence on my family, my regular work and my health. So I decided to be no longer part of this forum. It’s simply too much for one person. I will go back to my PC and try to find again the pleasure I had before in making Expert Advisors. Just me, my PC and MT4, which will be more than enough for the moment. I have no idea what my plans will be for the future. One thing is certain; I will continue the work on my EA’s. Transforming my crazy ideas about how to conquer Forex into Expert Advisors.<o></o>

<o> </o>

You’re all free to do with <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:city> whatever you like. But please be gentle to my baby. It’s an EA with a “soul” so don’t try to change the code too much, because if you do so, the “soul” will leave Phoenix and, believe me, Phoenix will end as so many EA’s before: on the scrapheap. She doesn’t deserve that!<o></o>

<o> </o>

I will always be available for advice if you want. The best solution for now I think is to point out someone in the forum that’s capable to coordinate the further development of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:city>.<o></o>

<o> </o>

I wish you all the best !! <o></o>
So sad that you're leaving..
We gonna miss you..

May God Bless you Hendrick !

Thanks for all your contributions to the forum Hendrick.

As for the person that posted "I can't get over how bad Phoenix is doing" I would bet that had something with driving Hendrick away. He has answered hundreds of posts (many of which were posted by people too lazy to read the threads) and given hundreds of hours to this forum over the last few months.

You stated "you can't get over how bad it is doing", how long have you been testing Phoenix? How many good trades go with the 8 that you mention? Have you forward tested the EA for any length of time?

I can't get over how awesome Phoenix is. I can't get over how awesome of a guy Hendrik was to share it all with us and I REALLY can't get over how great Phoenix is performing in the championship!... that's what I can't get over...
Smile... Darwin loves you.

i do not believe any professional trader would mean anything personal toward hendrick. I certainly didn't. I just take a very pragmatic approach toward trading. And to succeed, we all have to be that way. I commend hendrick for doing what none of us could do. i will still be giving pheonix a chance along with some other things.

Since you addressed me, I will answer. First, I was not the only one who posted their Phoenix accounts were getting beat up. Second, I said that I was not down on Phoenix but wanted to understand what was going on. Third, What I posted was the truth and that should be enough. Finally, I made that post because I was surprised after demo testing Phoenix with great results and was honestly looking for some answers, and one more thing, I never, ever sent pm's to hendrick requesting anything, I never suggested any changes to Phoenix. It is easy to find someone to blame when you think you have lost something, but if one can't post the truth, then why are there forums in the first place. I have read every post in this thread. Have you? I noticed that you did not bother to quote from my post #841.

Thanks Preacher. Could you kindly point out which pairs you're trading and what timeframe for each system? Side-by-side comparisons are great. Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

Just to give you guys a heads up, I have been working on a "How to optimize <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>" for the past few days so in the future everyone can run their own tests.
Just waiting for 'the master' to have a look at it and to share his views/green light to post it.

Out of respect for his work and since I value his opinion very much, I will not do this before he had an opportunity to do so.
Knowing how busy he is and in the light to all that happened, I suspect this could take a while, so please all be patient!

Cheers,

Vince

Why thank you ... and I wish you all the best in the Championship. Half way there and you are in the top 3 consistently. Let's hope that there will be a monetary reword for your hard work that you have put in.

PS. If you want me to further explain some of my ideas in private then PM me. Take care, Salty.

Here are some results from one of my Phoenix demo accounts. You will see how well it started and it still remains in profit. The account is in my friends name but it is my demo. I have three Phoenix demo accounts but because this one started so quickly and is the only one still in profit, I thought it might reflect better what is happening now. I have shut down Phoenix on my live account but I am hoping we figure things out so I can go live with it in the future. I make this post only to reflect what is really happening(to me) and in return, perhaps help make Phoenix a better EA. I do believe in Phoenix or I would have never put it on a live account.
