Well different people have different settings. Its not the setup per se. My TP is 25 and SL is 40. Others have 18 Take Profit and 42 Stop Loss. So its all a matter of preference. Also my computer shut off while I was asleep so no trade was done for like 4 hours.

What is it thats causing everyone to have different results? Is there something you need to change in order to set it up correctly?

I think I might know what the problem is. What settings are you using?

If you getting this error "error opening buy order" you probable have MM=true and your broker don't accept lot-sizes like 0.24. Set MM=false and change your Lots to something like 0.2.

That was what I was thinking as well.. Glad to see I was on the right track.

never had this problem with FXDD before. I think you're also using FXDD Hendrick, with server set at GMT+2. Also my lot size default is 1.0.

Alsup1955 you need to set the MM setting to false..and your problem will be resolved. You can put your lots at any value you want. I have my MM at false.

I bet that is the problem I've been having too. I have Phoenix set up on my pc at home, and can check on the progress throughout the day, and haven't seen any trades trigger yet. I'm sure once it does, I'll need to tweak the settings some. I'm running it with the default settings right now. Has anybody changed any of the parameters yet?

I hate to admit it, but I can't get this to run on my Version 4! I have tried putting it in the Experts file; downloading and compiling then saving...each time the Phoenix Expert shows up in the upper right hand corner with an "x" after it! Any thoughts??? Thanks.

Hey Hendrick,

What about regular order closing surf order? I have a lot of hedged positions open right now. Regular order is going one way and surf order the other. On a bright note my surf orders record so far is 6-1.


Quoting Hendrick
Hi Ben.

You're right. I have separated surf-orders from regular-orders. If you use UseCloseSignal=true it's only working for regular orders. In the next version I will make an extra option that's closing a regular oder if a surf-order for the same pair is going in the opposite direction.

Read and follow the instructions found here: http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...&postcount=135

You are missing a step or two. Make sure the EA is set to live trading and the Experts Advisor function is turned on.

Check to make sure your Expert Advisors button is pressed on the menu/tool bar on the top. The 'x' is an indication that Expert Advisors is not enabled.

Well, I am getting plenty of trades here, but I am also getting a lot of 131 errors in the experts tab. It sounds from pervious posts that that may be related to the MM feature. I guess I will start a new test with that feature disabled because that may be why I have so many losers.
