Lot size is based on a percentage of the equity in account. On the input tab of the ea look for MaxMarginToUse(MMTU). I think the default value is 0.5%..Since its based on percentage, higher leverage will give you bigger lots.
Good Morning Thorn,

What happened with your loser test? Results were good since tonight....I was excited about that.

Hi Thorn,

Do you have any problem with this version? I have tested it and it only opens the first trade, after that, no more trades. Do you have the same problem or someone who has tested it?

Thank you
Same problem

Hi Caillou,

thanks for understanding my devotion to this thread. I like to share my results because any test is important, even if different or opposite of what I need and think.

Anyway, sometimes I start a demo using the setting 10 times more aggressive I need (for example MMTU=3 and PP=1 when I will use MMTU=0.3 and PP=0.1), because I can easily calculate the future results just cutting a zero.

By the way, in real I am the opposite of aggressive. In fact, the most aggressive real account I have reached these worst levels:
Lowest Margin %: 602.86%,...
Hi Achab,

In the Real accounts do you prefer Phantom_AddSix_03b instead of Phantom_AddSix_02a?.

Iīm trying to understand the reason of only adding one trade per hour and the lotstep function in Phantom_AddSix_03b ....And is a Really Advantage with Phantom_AddSix_02a that requires each of the 6 pairs we trade to distinguish themselves among 14 phantom currency pairs?. It looks a good filter....

Phantom_AddSix_03b requires each of the 6 pairs we trade to distinguish themselves among 14 phantom currency pairs too?

I wish know your opinion about which is the best combination of Risk(MMTU)-Profit(PP) for a live account. Leverage: 1:500, 1:200, 1:100.

Thanks for your testing work

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...
Hi Xere,

It doesnīt work fine. Only open one trade and after that...Nothing. I donīt know if you have same problem.

Sorry, I love this new interface.

GBPJPY took a 200+ dump, and all the other JPY pairs are down the drain, too at the moment. But instead of being unexited I like those situations because by surviving the EA shows its real potential. Wins are secondary. You have to survive the losses ^^

Found this in forex tsd. Hope some of you will be interested to use it on a separate chart. A simpler form of MPTM i guess since we are interested in basket closures only.
It was described as:
Trailing P/L starts trailing when specified P/L (percentage) is reached.
You can specify trail start level and trailing width.

eg
Account Balance ( or Freemargi or Equity) 10000 / Trail Start 5% / Trail Width 2%
When current P/L exceeds 5%(500), EA starts trailing by 2%(200) width.
*when you use Freemargin or Equity, trail width is not fixed, because...
Hello,

I was immediately impressed of this news that I already started a new test, the number 36.

It is about the same Phantom (AddSix_03b vers. 0.4.2) with these settings:

MMTU=10
PP=5
Sleep=5000 (yes, 5 seconds)

The demo account is an Alpari-UK one, with 500:1 leverage and 100,000.00 EUR balance.

The A and B are the same (with TS off), the C and the D have this TS setting:

TapeProfit Level = +5,00%
Stoploss Level = -25.00%
Trail Start = 2.00%
Trail Width = 1.00%

Good Morning Thorn,

What happened with your loser test? Results were good since tonight....I was excited about that.
Well as I expected when I started the test, any big strong move in one direction (xxx/jpy anyone?) would doom the big loser theory. Its still alive at 3% DD though. One thought is, I had the cut loser option on this one at 4x Profit target. Maybe it would be best to run it without that option? What do you guys think? It cut 3 bad gbp/jpy trades and now that pair is coming back up at the moment so I dont know.

In my opinion, I would only cut a loser trade if I donīt have enough margin for opening news trades, but who knows.......

I have seen a 15% DD recovery and close in profit in 5 min but.........

Hmm, same thoughts here. It was a hefty dip in */jpy, so I would be around 350 pips in the hole ... I don't know. But without the stop GBPCHF for instance had blown one very small account, which had not enough margin to withstand. I personally would prefer cutting it, but later. I will experiment with a setting of 6 or even 8.

I am very sorry for my mistake. Simply a sentence return wasn't included inside two brackets....(Line 1606). Unfortunately this type of mistakes are not easy to discover, but at the end I did.
Corrected. Thanks to all.

Those 3 would work fine. You probably realize by now there are many combos you can use. Now for set 1 you dont trade yen/chf but the 14 pair phantom would need to include those currencies. Cant make up a 14 pair hedge without them, but you dont have to take the real trades on them. Does that make sense? Kind of like the original 14 pairs include nzd but you dont take any real nzd trades. Ill try to put something together and post it later tonight. There seems to be a problem with the newer ea so Ill base anything off the previous version (addsix_4.0)....
Hi Thorn,

It makes sense when you are trying to get the best trades during last X hours. Look my broker min. spread (I guess it is like yours more and less):

set 1 (no YEN,CHF)
BUYS: GBPUSD/EURCAD/EURGBP......2/7/3
SELLS: EURUSD/EURAUD/AUDCAD....1/7/7....Total 27

set 2 (no AUD,GBP)
BUYS: EURCHF/CHFJPY/USDJPY......3/4/1
SELLS: EURJPY/USDCAD/CADJPY....3/3/4.....Total 18

set 3 (no EUR,CAD)
BUYS: AUDUSD/GBPAUD/NZDJPY....2/10/5
SELLS: GBPUSD/NZDUSD/USDJPY...2/3/1....Total 23

Set Metacoder (original)

BUYS: GBPUSD/USDCHF/EURJPY....2/2/3
SELLS: GBPCHF/CHFJPY/EURCHF....5/4/3....Total 19

So I would like to try with "set 2". Do you know another combination with a lower spread?.

Thank you Xere.

Your interface is superb......
Thanks, but everything can be improved. I ask for all of you ideas to improve it.
In my mind are, as you should know, some ideas to include, as Breakeven, TrailingStop, GlobalStopLoss, TimeWindow to trade...
I need you validate the last version in order to code the next step from the validated basis.
Come on, we can do a better EA.

I have tried some versions of Phantom EAīs to run with MPTM EA from Steve but unafortunaly, itīs not possible to mix any EA with Phantoms.

I think a Breakeven and Jumping Stop option like MPTM would be great. Maybe MPTM from Steve could give you some ideas for the code...

Thanks again
