Phantom 6 System

Merged some of my changes to Phantom_AddSix_4.0.3.mq4. Called it version 5.

Features added:

1. Trailing stops of individual pairs (EURCHF, USDCHF and CHFJPY - 25pips, GBPUSD, GBPCHF and EURJPY - 35pips). This feature is well tested. Using
zeros for those trailing stop levels disable the trailing.

2. Trailing stop of overall account equity. TrailStopStartsPercent = 0.25 - the minimum trailing stop level in percent (0.0 would be breakeven), TrailStopPercent = 0.5 - the actual trailing stop in percent (0 would mean no trailing at all). With the...

Thanks mcs.
I believe it will be better adding also a TradeOnSunday and TradeOnMonday, and a last day of month to trade (LastDayOfMonth), in order to avoid the days 29, 30 and 31, by instance, due to the agressive market movements (too much people cashing for profits closing the month).
I promise to write the new values to the GraphicalUI as soon as posible. But if you want to add the features I said before, I can wait for a little...

Hi Xere,

There is a problem when you have more than 20 actives trades….Not enough space in your display, with min fontsize you can´t see all your trades neither. Maybe you could work with 2 columns in the "trade area".

I don´t know if someone here has the same problem

Had some time today to modify Phantom. Now posting version 5.1.

Changes:
- Fixed the bug with updating display info after basket closure.
- Added MaxTradesInBasket. This should be obvious.
- Added TradeOnSunday, TradeOnMonday and LastMonthDaysToCutOff, as suggested by xere. LastMonthDaysToCutOff means how many last days of the current month not to open new baskets (ex. 2 means no new baskets on 30th and 31st if there are 31 days in this month).

This one hasn't been tested much although I'm pretty sure it will work fine.

P.S. And what about another PHANTOM with inverted logic, so we can simultaneously run 2 opposite basket? ;-)

Hi,

I don´t know why but one basket in this version was closed suddenly with an important loss. It had around 20 open trades and only 0.01 lots. No problem with margin call.

This is weird. Are you using trailing stops for individual trades? If yes, than make sure it was actually a loss. It might be that there were 20-something previous trades closed in profit, and this accumulated profit is greater than floating loss of the basket. Also check logs, pls.
Is everything OK with global variables, by the way?

Hi morepipspls,

Not quite sure what happened.
Except from TrailStopStartsPercent=0.05; TrailStopPercent=0.35; all your parameters look fine.
Remember, there was positive slippage of the basket reported several times in this thread? It happened when the basket reached Profit Percent and continued to grow during the full closure. In the case of a trailing stop you should expect some negative slippage.
What might have happened with your basket, is that it briefly touched +0.4% (0.05% + 0.35%) profit, the trailing stop level was set to 0.05%...

How come you have GBPUSD lot 1.9 with a huge loss in the list of closed trades? And you have 3000 on account and use 0.1 lot - it is too risky.

Anyway, if you do not like it, do not use it.
