Hi guys,

or - as xere just minted above here - hi team, good morning.

First of all, thank xere for the new indicator he has uploaded here. And don't worry to "have excluded the balance/equity indicator", I think it's ok, also because it could make the EA heavier: it's better to manage the Balance Equity Indicator with an external, appropriate and suitable indicator.

Now let's talk about since which Phantom_AddSix you/we want to start from. When you write "we start with the 03 release", do you mean that we/you will start from the Phantom_AddSix_03b?
In...
All right. I like to start from my last release 03, but I will take your last release and see what changes have you done from my 03, and apply the new features into my 03, to take it as a base (could you, achab, indicate me what changes have you done in your last release? This make my life more comfortable...)
Then, I will the EquityProtection (as a value representing how many $ or whatever currency you use, I will protect, and avoiding to send more positions if equity drop below this value). If EquityProtection=0, this feature will do nothing.
And the result will be 04 release. I think I need just 2 days to do it (Achab, if you tell me what mods have you done, this time is just 1 day).

I am working right now on that. Any suggestion?

And...
The Phantom_AddSix_03b_0.4.1.mq4 has been modified:

at the line 1453, updating date, time and release; I suggest to change this like ("nachab mod. 0.4.1, 2011-04-01, 16:52") with something like "nforexfactory.com's Team for Phantom mod. 3.X.X, 2011-04-05", choose you the version number(s).

At the line 1570 of your 03 version I added " TimeMinute(TimeCurrent()) == PhantomCheckMinute+1) //added by achab" that you will find at line 1352 of 0.4.1 version. Take a look also to the whole "Add to winning trades." where I also changed line 1359 and 1366.

Consequently check line 87 of my 0.4.1 where I added "extern int PhantomCheckMinute = 0; //Added this feature that can help with many demos running in the same time, so your PC will not work always in the same minute (achab).".

That's it, I didn't make so many changes, after all.

I have a question: the original version 03b (that I am testing right now a lot), will be put aside?

About EquityProtection, why are you thinking about protecting currency instead of percentage of the margin?

Sorry, you are right. It maybe better instead EquityProtection, we add MarginPercentProtection.

Well, if we create new releases, of course they should be replace the old ones, but maybe that in some cases, the new version performs worst than the previous. If this happens, we should go back to the best version, and take it as a new base. The advantage of this approach is that, even if we launch a new one, the last one is still with no change.

I agree to go back just in case of worsening.

About the 03b version (the one that opens not more than 1 trade per hour, as written on comments "Only one trade will be opened during minute 0"), after the first results, the tests say that that it's more profitable.

It seems to me that it is needed to cut 4 lines, only (such as 1566 and few others). Correct?

Well, not only 4 lines. I should cut the following statements too (the ones you add //added by achab ).

I see. Well, let's think about it later than the main work (your 03).

I wait for your news, then.

In any case, feel free to ask me for everything.

Hi again. I did the development quickly, and I am glad to introduce this new interface. The panel looks good, and I am checked it but not deeply. It seems to run OK.
As I said previously I keep the trading logic with no changes. In fact, I have added a new boolean input parameter called "GraphicalUI": if you set it to "false", the EA shows the old look (in case you have a slow machine or poor Internet or if simply it's your choice).
But I apologize you test and enjoy it, setting it to "true". You can also set up the colors you like. I use...
xere,

Please find attached screen copy of Phantom interface currently running in my demo account. It needs minor adjustment on the summary details.

This is nice and awesome.

I use MMU of 0.3 generally on 1:500 demos. You can experiment with it and select a MMU depending on your risk appetite.
I have not used any lower leverage demo so far.

Hi, again. As I said yesterday, here it is the version 4.0 consolidated. This version changes from the 03 the next questions:

-Added the PhantomCheckMinute (from the achab's idea). The EA just consider trading if the current minute matches the input parameter.
-Added the MarginToCheck as a value, that is, if I want the EA doesn't open new trades when Free Margin was a 30% of the equity, then I must set the parameter with the value 0.30
-Added the corresponding line in the ACCOUNT AREA, tracking the Free margin and its protection.
-Added a parameter called FontSize, that allows the user make the data displayed bigger or smaller (a value like 9 is perfect with most cases).
-Fixed a bug in the Trading Time Max, because in the old version, it didn't detect if the time is greater than 24 hours.

Well, as always, I can't check everything, so your help and testing is very valuable.
I wait for a day or two, and when receive your feelings about this, I should continue with the version 4.1, that should include Breakeven and Trailing Stop features as a main (my thought is finish all hard job in this EA this month...)

Thanks. I need special checking on the new features, as MarginToCheck and PhantomCheckMinute. Also on the old bug (the Time Trading Max). The rest is the same, so I believe it will run well.
I want to discuss about another question: I am deleting, step by step, some parameters that I think are useless, as the index for each pair, but still remains one that makes different Standard and Mini account. I think this separation between accounts is artificial, I mean, the user shouldn't worry about what kind of account he has. The only point where it remains is because in the non-graphical interface, there is a line that shows what type of account we have. My proposal is, for the next release, erase this concept and the comment. What do you think about?

Well yes, either that or simply have the GBPCHF / EURCHF on buy. But as I can't alter the code in that way, I am pinned there. Had no screentime today, just came home from work to see the desaster.

Take it easy, dude, is it your 2nd account on your list?

but last night when i checked, it was in okay DD, not close to a margin call yet.

looks like we need larger capital size, problem is how larger is enough.

and you lost all your profit? or all your capital?
