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
Please search for my posts in this thread. I have given the solution to this issue a few weeks ago.

the-game,
I see your remedy in post #169 but wouldn't trust myself to get all the changes in the right place. I know this is asking a lot but could you post the http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/attach/mq4.gif Phantom_AddSix_02a.mq4 EA with the changes made. Would appreciate it. thanks

I have had an unfortunate experience that will screw up the validity and continuity of my demos. My VPS went haywire about 1530 hrs (US CST) yesterday. I could not connect and when I informed support, they rebooted my VPS, which of course shut down all my platforms. Then I still could not connect after the reboot and the problem was not resolved until 1300 hrs today. So there was a 21 hour gap during which my demos were not running. They still have not told me what the problem was.

There was one bright spot though. My Tadawul, standard, 500:1 leveraged account, AddSix_03bx began closing trades immediately on restart and came out with $274, which was more than 4%. It had cut 5 $100 losers (CLM 2) before the platform was shut down. It would have closed much sooner and maybe 2 or 3 times had the platform not been closed.

The CutLoser mod is proving very beneficial to that account. Every equity pop since I added the CutLoser mod has been assisted by several big losers being cut. The settings are MMTU 0.4, PP 1.0 and CLM 2. It is currently trading 0.1 lot per trade. After the big close today I added the PipStep mod and have it set at 20. We'll see if that reduces the number of big losers and gets us to profit quicker.

Now, if I could just figure out what settings would make a IBFX mini, 50:1 account perform similarly, I would be ready to trade live. One of you matamaticians should be able to figure that out.

Sorry about this being in the wrong thread, but I thought the observations on CutLoser would be beneficial here.

Frazer,
I'm with IBFX (standard account) and 50:1 leverage. My settings for the
AddSix_02a EA of .4 MMTU and TP at $200(about .5%) seem to rollover the baskets fairly frequently. My first basket went to 70+ trades but had lots of room to spare. Since then baskets have averaged around 15 trades.

Frazer,

Sorry to hear what happened, I guess this is why other posters say to always use a stop loss.

BTW, I'm with you on the CLM 2 mod, it works great.
You were right about the CLM 3 - it was way too high.

It was not really a big problem, although it could have been. All of my demos are still alive and well, but there is no way to know if some of them might have come into profit overnight and closed on equity pop. For that reason I say it screws up the validity, but they are all still running at about the same place they were yesterday.

Yes, CLM 2 is excellent for the 500:1 account, but way too high for 50:1 mini accounts. On those 1 seems to be about as high as you can go and still realize any benefit.

Frazer,

AddSix_02a EA of .4 MMTU and TP at $200(about .5%) seem to rollover the baskets fairly frequently. My first basket went to 70+ trades but had lots of room to spare. Since then baskets have averaged around 15 trades.
I also have had good results with AddSix_02ax with MMTU .4 and PP .5 on IBFX mini 50:1.

I have added the CL mod and started with CLM set to 1. It has closed twice since I added that with just 21 and 15 trades in the basket, but the CL did not come into play. I am changing CLM to .5 today to see how that will affect the results. If we can get those 3 settings right so that it functions like my AddSix_03bx_CL on the 500:1 Tadawul account it would be great. The 500:1 account closed again today after cutting one big loser, which allowed the remaining 7 trades to reach equity pop 14 minutes after the loser was cut. That one is set at MMTU .4, PP 1.0 and CLM 2, which is working perfectly as I had hoped the CL strategy would. Now I'm trying to find the right balance on the 50:1 accounts.

I think from my recent observations that any of the AddSix or Phantom6 EAs could be profitable and without large drawdowns using the CL strategy with the right settings. That's what I'm shooting for now.

Hi Frazerd
Can you please attach your Phantom6_01x EA here?
thank you
Quoting frazerd
Same as Ph6_01x without the resetting. I just copied and pasted your x factor coding to the 01 version, so it is a hybrid of 01 and 01x - no reset and x factor.

Here it is and I added the version with the CL, TH, and PS in case anyone is interested in those options.

Sounds like excellent progress. Thanks for keeping things going while I'm very busy with work!

Nothing new to report here except that back on 28 Nov when I was trying to load a modified version of each of the AddSix EAs, it caused them all to close all the open trades. So I just reset all Global Variables and started testing from that point on. It's anotated as New Start on the spread sheets.

I'm posting them all in this thread just because it's too much trouble to go back and post some of them to the Basket14 thread, which nobody is posting on now anyway.

Hi frezard,

I and my friend have been running pahantom_addsix_2a for a month now on demo A/C and doing well. Maximum we have seen 8 % DD. Closing atleast one basket per day. My friend planning to go live from january onwards with this EA.

Why now different EA s with many optiOns? Any better EA's than the one which i mentioned have been developed? Thanks.
Intraday only.

The EAs with the options have been developed because everyone has not had the same luck as you and have experienced large DD and prolonged periods of no closure and many open trades. The new options are just that, options. You don't have to use them, but they are there if you need them.

If you feel confident in that EA after 1 month of testing and are comfortable trading it live, have at it and I hope it continues to work for you and you make a bunch of money.

Here are all the AddSix EAs with the Close Loser (CL), Trading Hours (TH) and Pip Step (PS)

If CloseLoserTrades is true the EA will close any loser trade that exceeds -CloseLoserMultiplier (CLM)*Dollar Profit Target.

If UseTradingHours is true it will start a new basket of trades only during the hours you specify. But baskets that were already open will continue to function as normal.

If UsePipStep is true it will only open new trades of the same pair if it is PipStep pips above the last trade of that pair.

If you don't want to use an option just make it false.

Except for those modifications, these EAs are exactly the same as MCs originals with the "x" factor, which I added to all of mine some time ago.
