ok I have the navigator open and the Phoenix open, how do I attach it



Quoting nvwine
Once you have installed the EA on the computer open MetaTrader. Then open the Navigator (the button at the top of MT with the folder and star) then you can see and attach the EA from the Navigator panel.

Haha, lol, that's only the Editor to program your scripts, you will need it later for changing Phoenix or understanding how it's working. But for now, just click on Terminal in the icon bar. This will open the Terminal which is the core of MT. That's where you can start Phoenix.
By the way, RTFM - just read the HELP in Terminal. This will help alot.

Hendrick: So your from Netherlands? That's cool, so I never have to adjust the time settings of your scripts because I am from Germany.

And...I always get the error: ERR_INVALID_TRADE_VOLUME (131). So I guess Phoenix's MM uses ordersizes like 0.25. Could you add an option to round (ceil) these position sizes. I gues I am not the only one here whose broker only allows 0.1 steps.

Hendrick: I think I found a bug:

PHP Code
//=============== ADJUST LOTS IF YOU WANT TO GAMBLE (IDEA MarvinSK)

   if(WantToGamble==true)
      {
         int ht=TimeHour(LocalTime());
         if((ht >= GambleFrom) && (ht <= (GambleUntil-1)))
            {
            Lots = (GambleFactor*subLotSize());
            }
      }
what if you have the GAMBLE bool set to TRUE but the MM set to FALSE? Eventhough I disable the MM, it's still calling subLotSize() which means it's using MM. That's not right, is it?

Hendrick,

I have UseCloseSignal set to true. At 19:50 GMT it sold GBPUSD @ 1.8462. At 20:22 GMT is bought GBPUSD @ 1.8476. I thought with that parameter set to true that should not happen. Both positons are currntly open. Should that be set to false instead? Anybody else expereincing this?

Edit: I just noticed one position is a Regular and one is a Surf trade. I think that might answer my question.

I'd like a clarification of this too. I've never used orders sizes other than .1, .2, .3 etc and full lots. I have some Phoenix orders open that are .48 and .43. Do all brokers allow that? If all do not allow it, there needs to be a mechanism to round to whole segments. Thx.

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> is based on a former EA: Firebird (made by traderSeven). See the manual for further information. Of all the EA’s I tried, Firebird was the first EA that had the potential to make some money. On the other hand it had some bad habits that could result in a seriously drawdown of your account. <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City></st1lace> is an attempt to preserve the best of Firebird and to prevent the drawdowns of your account. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

<o></o>

Maybe it’s too soon to launch <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>. I didn’t get the time to make all the necessary tests or implement proper error-controlling mechanism. Furthermore some parts need a little tweaking But Wednesday next week I will have my vacation but before that I want to deliver a bug-free <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>. So my request to you is to test this version and give me as much feedback as can before next Wednesday!<o></o>

<o></o>

As starter of this thread and maker of <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City></st1lace> I think it’s just to make some rules. Well in fact only one: of course you are free to adapt <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City></st1lace> in any way you want, but please don’t post it in this thread! I want to keep the code of <st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City> as clean as possible and want to prevent that in the end too many versions of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> are circulating in the same thread and nobody knows what version is doing what. <o></o>

<o></o>

If you think that you have a useful addition or modification for <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>, you can post it in this thread. We can discuss about it and when we all agree I can implement it in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>.<o></o>

<o></o>

I will use this first post for the updated versions of the EA, the indicator and the manual.<o></o>

<o></o>

That’s all. Let’s give it a try!<o></o>

<o></o>

In the ZIP-file you will find the following files:<o></o>

<o></o>

Phoenix_EA_v1_0.mq4– the “Expert Advisor”<o></o>

Phoenix_IND_v1_0.mq4– the indicator to make the SafeArea visible (seen manual) you don’t need it for the EA to work!<o></o>

The docs show that there are indicators, you can install in the indicator subdirectory of the expert directory and use, but they are not necessary to run the EA... thanks scott

Hendrick, if UseCloseSignal is set to true, should a Surf trade close out a regular trade and vice versa? I have one of each open in opposite directions on cable. I'm set to true, so not sure if it's acting properly. Thx

Alsup, you don't need it. It's a visual. You're going to be a bit lost if you don't read the firebird thread and at least the phoenix manual. It's all there.

I have those same two trades on the GBP. The sell has since hit the TP.

I do have two trades on USD/CHF that seem to have worked right. I have a Buy that was closed out at -8 pips and replaced by a Sell at the same time.

I have the chf sell active, but didn't get the long. Probably just a data feed difference. I'd still like to know if a surf trade closes a regular trade and vice versa and will probably find out by tomorrow from Hendrick.

Well I notice that Phoenix closes a trade when its opening a position in the other direction. I think this is a neat future. Firebird use to keep both positions open in both directions.
