Frazerd,

Im running that acct 100:1, All my other test are at 50:1..That demo platform only 100:1 is lowest available. I have not used pip_step or trading hours yet. I will be interested in how you think they help or hurt the performance.

I would post my accounts but I dont know how to get my detailed statements into .xls format. Is there an easy way to do that?

Just copy and paste - it goes right into the spareadsheet with no problem. Then you can use formulas to show whatever data you want.

Open demo account standard the Euro 3000 leverage 50:1 03/11/2010 10:00 am
MMTU = 0.5
LOTS = 0.1
PP = 0.75

results to date 03/12/2010 20:00 pm 4653.80 +55.13%
DD = MAX -1685.91
LM = 61.53%
The graph doesn't look like there has been a margin call. Maybe that is a misprint. Ph6_o1a has been doing really well for me as well. It has been my best performer of this group as you can see on my spreadsheets.

Censura,

Cut loss is a mod you need to add to the EA. Im on my laptop so I dont have access to my home comp ATM.. You can find it in some of the EAs already posted, if you know how to cut/paste you can add it to the EA you are using. If not I can post the lines you will need to add, but not untill later tonight.

If we were to take this one and cut losers when a margin level is reached, would we cut one biggest loser once per hour?

Would we only cut losers that are, say, a large in magnitude as the dollar profit target (only they'd be negative since they're losers)?

I didn't check your spreadsheet to see if your Phantom6_01a is on an IBFX 50:1 account...

Another example of standard-sized lots on a very small account I think.

If the margin falls below 100% will not allow me to add orders.

For me the best EA "Phantom06_01x" and "Phantom06_01a"
Both EA and the basis for improving over DD
I do not like to cut the more big DD because in the long empty the account.
Need to find some different idea.

Yes, it is IBFX mini 50:1

I am already using the Cut Loser (CL) mod with CutLoserMultiplier (CLM) set at 1.5 (-1.5*Dollar Profit Target). However, it has been doing so well since I added that, that it has not cut any losers.

I do not like the cut one biggest loser every hour or even every time margin dips below a given level. You soon run out of big losers and you are just cutting little ones and adding new trades that eat up more margin.

If we use the margin activated loser cutting, I think it would work better combined with the one I described above. At a given margin level start cutting any loser that is bigger than -x*Dollar Profit Target.

Oh yeah, we had that discussion before about a margin call that just disallows placing new trades until margin improves. That is a pretty neat margin call. I wish IBFX would do it that way. With a broker that uses that kind of margin call you may not need any loser cutting. These EAs seem to be able to always get back into profit given enough time.

Or maybe we should mimic your broker's margin call tactics, but at a higher margin, similar to what I had suggested with the margin call that cuts losers. At a given margin level, above the margin call level, the EA would disallow new trades until the margin came back up above that level.

I'm with IBFX. I'm not sure at what margin(150%?) you can't place any new trades but at 100% they will trim your biggest loser or losers until margin is above 100% again.

I'm also using IBFX. They do not stop trades, they just close losers at 100% margin. I was just saying that it would be nice if IBFX used the margin call system that Ziogioit's broker does.

I'm sure this has been pointed out before but changing the time frame of the chart that you have a phantom EA on will reset the phantoms. Change any of the variables of the EA and the phantoms reset. Example, I changed my MMTU value with the EA on the chart and the phantoms reset. I assume internet disconnection will reset phantoms. I have temporary disconnects most days. Is there any way around this without screwing up the EA? If not, I can deal with it. thanks

There is a code to reset phantoms in the init() section, may be deleting that will do it but I am not sure how it will affect normal operation.
In one of the altered Eas in the other thread, I have observed that it has been removed. anyway, thanks for letting me know about it,I was chopping and changing all the time!
Good luck on your live Phantom, keep us updated.
I am jumping in shortly

you can delete from init and move to start as first line. but you need to do it only once, so have a variable to control this

I guess the x factor will slow down basket turnover but will also keep you from over trading. I've had good results without the x factor so far trading straight 02a.
