Yes, and you are encouraged to test those. Everything is a work in progress. But read the thread please. It's very worth while. It's very fast moving. It's worth it. You must know what's been done so far and what there is to do.

All the best to you.

Here are my weekly spreadsheet reports comparing this EA using ExceedenceTrigger 2 and 3. ET 2 continues to outperform ET 3, but at the cost of having more trims and bigger drawdowns.

This one closed again yesterday with only 1 add-on trade and all the profit coming from the original basket. This is one time that the phantom EA would not have been advantageous. The gain for the week was 6.5% and 11.65% for the 2 weeks it's been running.

However, it now has 60 open trades and a PL of -305, -169 for basket trades and -136 for the add-ons.

I was going to post my nice results for skoda_02, but I got some trims on thursday night that shot my great results for now. Hopefully will make it up this week sometime. Either way,

skoda_02: started 9/20, $2500 start bal, current bal 2876, 15% return, 21% dd

add_01: started 9/10, 1k start bal, current bal 1293, 29.3% return, 27% dd

14_03: started 9/8, 1k start bal, current bal 1075, 7.5% return, 9.05% dd

14_02: started 9/8, 1k start bal, current bal 1086, 8.6% return, 9.84% dd

looking forward to see how phantom does in the coming weeks

Skoda2008,

Looked at your MultiPair indy and would like to make an observation.

When doing any sort of cross currency pair calculations, you can never assume that the bar of one pair has a matching bar in the other currencies at the same time....
Thanks for the tip, this is the first indicator I have programmed, let alone multipair!

Hi MC,

I'm not entirely sure what your intent is but I think this mod is not needed, as it is taken care of by the following lines for each pair:

E.g.

Inserted Code
EURCHF_PL = (EURCHFbid - MarketInfo(EURCHFsym, MODE_ASK)) / EURCHFpoint;
EURCHF_PL *= TickvalArray[EURCHFidx]*UseLots;
PL_Array[EURCHFidx] = EURCHF_PL;

The 01a EA was working fine without your modification.

With your modification it would open trades if the pair's profit is 1/10th of the DollarProfitTarget.

Was this your intent?
Since my winning phantom trades had been open a few hours and none of them had profit nowhere near DollarProfitTarget, I thought I needed to multiply PL_Array[i] by 10.0 in the AddIfNeeded function.
Open to new approaches.

Put them into Global Variables dude
That would be a good solution if it were important to maintain the open price for the trades.

However, if the platform gets restarted and PL is reset, we still open trades based on recent positive action in the phantom trades.

Strange indeed. I still think it is not needed as you are not dividing UseLots into 10 or any code using the factor of 10.

I was being silly... I could forsee how hard it was to code plus your FAQ says, to code it yourself if you think it's a great idea ;-)

I wonder how frazerd is doing. I was always skeptical about the add EAs, seemed martingale'ish to me.

I think the original Basket 14 trim and reverse strategy has a lot of potential and just needs to be refined.

I've been working on using CCFp indicator with the Basket14_03 EA, but still can't pick the right direction. It is of course an indicator, and all indicators lag by default.

Ah well, back to the drawing board :-)

I'm having no problems with the Add_01. It's running like a machine.
Add_02 just did an equity pop! So it's good too.

Mine is still very much alive with a -120 PL - you will recall that it was -308 at COB Friday, so it is improving. That is on a $4800 acct, so it's really not a big deficit. I think the 2 who reported margin calls must be using much smaller accts and the add-on trades are about the same size as the basket trades. My basket trades are 0.1 lots while my add-ons are 0.01, 1/10, as the EA was designed to trade. Just ran a new statement and the PL is back down to -169. It moves very fast.

Whoa, you just reported a margin call on 02. Please don't report a margin call until the broker has actually closed your trades for a loss.

The other person who reported a margin call was brand new to this thread and obviously did not know what was going on if you read his/her other posts.

I tested to please excuse, I have ea basket of other forums all was scrap-
I know, of course, not the programming details because I'm not a programmer, I test to see whether and how it works.
Here is an account with the aforementioned ea - I dunno differed in the program, I show only what happened to help. I am not a critic, I've been a manual trader years but would like to switch to automatic and manual search for a functioning system I work only with support and resistance -
I am not open to criticism but I would also like to one alternative - only to improve without some criticism is constructive'm too old for such games.Anhören

Frazer,
My lots are .01, my margin is 50:1, and the acct size is $2000. Is working well after the pop. That's the demo on Add_02.
The live acct with Add_01 is down $120+ over the last couple of trading days. It is a $2000 acct with 500:1 and .04 lots.
