But for me, the EA s you created are the best performers i have ever used. I hope..hope it will maintain its performance during ranging period too. I am waiting for that to happen. Once it survives that period.... we can go with it for sure.

navk,

the simple logic of this type of trading will ALWAYS cause a death trade drawdown at some stage - unless there is some sort of fail safe SL or filters. So while you are getting great results from this excellent EA (and I truely beleive it is a great concept), we still need to focus attention on how we can limit those occasional, very large DD's without killing off the system.

So please everyone do the testing on AP full and light etc, but take off the rose tinted glasses and keep developing for these filters.

The single pair EA provides...

I have seen here a Phantom EA with "CUT LOOSERS" option i just dragged it in to my chart and tested for a day. It cut down lossers and created a very high profit to achive with profitable running trades.

The price reversed and the account got stopped out. The basic principle of ths EA has been defeated by this modification "cut loosers". So in my view, if the Creator explains a bit about what the modification is, it would be nice.

I have just noticed that Art_Phantom_Full_EU does not work properly for me neither. It closes trades with a loss and opens at the same time 3 Buys and 1 Sell.

For now, I think we can't test one pair version yet.....

Hi all,

I have noticed my EA trading against the trend for the E/J and U/J pairs.

You can see the outcome of this when MOST of the trades for these pairs close in a loss, sometimes in a relatively BIG loss.
[E/J: (13/21) 61.9% trades closed for loss, U/J (9/14) 64.29% trades closed for a loss]

E/U pair is currently a sell pair and agrees with the current E/U trend, so this is the only pair that has been working the best and 95% (38/40) of the trades made have been closing for a profit.

I'm thinking of adding in a trend filter to prevent...

Hi guys,

Have tested Single Pair Phantom With SL (the one RoundRock added) and sorry to say it was very hard to get to make a full pass. In fact the only settings that allowed it to complete a test was leverage 100, $5000, 15m, mmtu 0.3, pp 1, and sl_190_to_200. If I change any of these one iota from these settings the pass would not complete. I'm sure there's a reason but I don't know what it is yet.
