and for reset,we have to delete global variable,right? how about the setting"stop after no trade" true or false in the EA?does it not works?
thank you very much
fred
No, you will not need to reset global variables, just change the multiplier.

Yes, StopAfterNoTrades does work. If it is true the EA will not trade again after the next close-all until you change it back to false. You would use that to stop the trading while you change the multiplier. Then when the multiplier is the way you want it change StopAfterNoTrades back to false and it will start trading again when your phantoms reach the target.

You're welcome Frazer. Could we consider trading even fewer pairs? Maybe look at your reports with this in mind: are there pairs that often contribute more, and ones that often put a drag on reaching equity pop?

Big contributors that come to mind are EURCHF, GBPCHF, EURGBP. It also seems that when one of these is the biggest winner, it stays the biggest winner for a while. It's not always that way, but I've seen it.

Thoughts?

I will start looking for those pairs and add that comparison to my future spreadsheets. Excellent idea. We are getting there.

For your consideration:
__

Notice the big number of trades when AddSix_01 was running, then the small number of trades in the second batch when I had 02 running.

http://bobthoughts.net/Phantom_AddSix_02.htm

__

With this one, it trades limited pairs. I had it coded to just trade 2 pairs at first, then added in a third. A couple of times, I've run a CloseAll EA when the mood struck me. Do take note that this demo account is a STANDARD account with 100:1 leverage. I specify 50:1 when I open the accounts but the bröker only allows 100:1 standard demo, apparently.

Looks really good, noticed that your DD was also much much lower on the second iteration as well. Also noticed that your lot size was only a third and the profit potential appears to be flatter. Very very nice indeed. Great work.

May I ask other than the coding mentioned what the major changes are between Phantom and Phantom14?

Or better yet, I think we are all going to be better off using the Phantom add EAs. I believe we have moved beyond the Basket14 era.
I would, except the Phantom EA's have only been around since I have been stuck in this current basket cycle.

MetaCoder showed you in a previous post how to do it. You have to find in the code where he multiplies the phantom values x10 and change it. I thought you had already done that.

That one i know it well. ,but i did not change that multiplier.inestead i opened a demo account with 10k and phantom14-add game worked very well.

but my question was when it made that for example $100 on $10k account,then it will do it again fopr second or third time and so on by itself if the stop after no trade is on false?
or i have to reset the EA by changing muliplier to start make the profit again?

i hope i explain my question clearly.regards
thank you

Yes, if it is false the EA will continue to reopen trades after closing. You won't have to reset anything until the 10 multiplier becomes too small and the EA is not opening trades because the phantom values are not close enough to Dollar Profit Target. Then you would have to change the multiplier.

I suggest you try the new Phantom_AddSix_02. You will never have to worry about a multiplier or what size account you are trading. It will work the same for all without you doing anything. Or try Phantom14_Add_02-taz. That one is working great for me with MaxMarginToUse = 0.1.

Howdy, girls. Thought I'd offer my 2 cents. Phantom_AddSix_01 has been running like a Swiss watch, cranking out 1% returns quickly and with little drama. Very impressive. It has my vote at this point, FWIW. It seems a shame to unplug it, but _02 is calling!

well it appears it did indeed carve its way out tonight, and closed all for another pop. a little uncomfortable on the dd for this last group, but those running it at a lower maxmargin probably wont have this issue.
it hit 28% dd for me, but did come back nicely and with a vengeance

Glad its working out for now, sometimes u just get an idea that makes sense and have to pursue
The addsix_02 looks pretty nice also. Was considering making that mod to that also, but we'll see
