Hi Navk,

I think you have made a mistake in the post above.
The MMTU 0.6 should give a lot size 0.06 (not 0.1)
Or am I missing something?

Cheers

Hi Navk,

[i]I think...
The MMTU is set to only 0.6. The next line ( lot size) is set to 0.1 So probably the orders are placed with 0.1 lot.

LOL! You new guys need to read the code/thread more.

Hint: Lot is a leftover parameter and is not used.

I agree with you the lot size is based on MMTU . But how the trades are placed with 0.1 when MMTU is set to 0.6. I do not have an answer.

Hi Navk,

Since we are not using the LOT input, I totally forgot about it.
Now I know what you meant.

Thanks for your reply.

Last time I will post this:

(Account Equity Before EA places REAL TRADES) * (MMTU / 100) * (Leverage / Account Type)

Account Types:
STANDARD = 100,000
MINI = 10,000


So e.g. for you navk

5000 * (0.6 / 100) * (200 / 100000) = 0.06 Lot size

Navk,

I have a platform set with your inputs (lot input as per default 0.1);
It is entering with 0.06 lots.

Great, thanks. However when i did the calculation with my previous equity, standard account, 200;1 leverage, the lot size works out to nearly 0.7. But actual trades are placed with 0.8 for my another EA ( PHANTOM_ADDSIX_06A)

This is the calculation : 5483 * 0.6/100 * 200/100,000

That's correct as your account equity after closing and before placing real trades is higher, so of course the Lot size will be a fraction higher compared to when you started.

this is already posted by some posters. why not we reverse the trades. that means instead of buy, do a sell and vice-versa

most of the times we have 2% DD before hitting TP. Very rarely we see TP without even 1% DD. So if we reverse the EA, does it improve the results ? may be its worthwhile to trade this way for a week

iirc, basically the winners are sold for 'buy' group.

this strategy will work in range bound market as the prices go up and down. so you are selling top buying bottom. in a strong trending market we need to buy the top...

Hi everyone,

I was very satisfied with Phantom3_01x, +2.9% in less 24h, max DD: -2.79%, but I noticed that during Asian Session movements for 3 pairs (EUR, USD, GBP) were very erratics, so a lot of trades and in London Session we have to recover that.
Thatīs why I have changed pairs, now with Phantom3_suv we have Buy EUR/JPY, Sell EUR/USD and Sell USD/JPY. So now we have 3 weight pairs one for each session: EUR for London, USD for New York and JPY for Tokyo. Because of that the name "suv", Iīm looking for a phantom ea able to run ok 24h, for...
Hi Caillou,
I think this is a very good variation on the theme. I am trading this on a small live account to test it under real conditions.

Two suggstions:
1/ Would you consider having the EA look for new trades every 30minutes rather than at the top of the hour. Often the price action has run a long way within an hour and the EA misses out on this when only taking trades on the hour - it could make the difference, creating quicker close outs (equity pops).

2/ As the news releases come out mainly on the top of the hour or the half hour - why not have the EA look for trades, say, 10 minutes past the hour (and if you consider having it look for trades every 30 minutes - then it could look at 10 past and 40 minutes past the hour for trades...??)

We could even look at the EA taking trades 10 minutes before the hour and be in trades ahead of any news event... either way the EA has to run the gauntlet of the news event.

But better to look off the hour so that the trade is not entered with massive slippage.....

cheers.

Hi Caillou,

Hi Timmy,

Very good observations. I think too 1 hour is too much time. Yesterday if EA would look each 30 min it would reach a PP with EUR/USD before it goes up.
Maybe it could check at 10h15, 10h45, 11h15,.....
Let me check the code. I' m not a coder so I have to see if it is difficult to change this but EA will be more close to market movement each 30 min than each 60 min.

Thank you

Here you have.

Phantom3.30_suv opens trades at 15 and 45 (each 30 min) to every winning phantom pair (EUR/JPY, EUR/USD, USD/JPY) if all previous trades are in profit.

Letīs see.....

AddSix-2a results this week. Basket started fri afternoon. No closures yet for the week. $39,600 demo MMTU .3, PP .25 ,50:1 leverage. 58 trades open at present. Largest DD $1301, lowest margin around 400%. DD is at -$130 now so hopefully will see first basket close soon. 50:1 leverage sucks.
