You did type ts=15 in the original post. You're talking about for the new demo you're starting today, or the version you're already testing?

New demo. I will be testing side-by-side demos with only change in one to be ts=15.

That will be interesting to have a trailing stop in conjunction with your TP=120. I may try the same. Please keep us posted with your results. Thanks!

I have it set at 1 lot..I've tryed all 4 majors and I get the same error on all of them (Error opening buy order 131) ..I have not created a template but I'm sure all the setting r the same in all charts..Only running 1 platform with is Coes......................I,ve changed the mm to false and changed the time to 24hr, per the manual???????????????????? What else can I do



Quoting BenQ
What lot size are you using, and for which pair are you getting that error message? Are you getting any trades at all?

And are you creating a template to make sure you're applying the same settings to all charts? Also, how many platforms are you running, and are you getting these errors on all the platforms?

Can you copy and paste what your settings are set at? Are you manually closing your trades?

Just curious because it seems like your doing a lot better than everybody else.


Thanks!

I don't get Hendrick's results. Wow. I think I give up....... Phoenix is handing me my ass for the last two days on all three demos. No special setups, very vanilla. Oh well. Just demo accounts.

Here are my settings. As you see I don't use "UseSurf". I'm not satisfied about its performance. I'm still trying to find a good substitute for this. Stay tuned!

Try a different platform. I don't believe coesfx has their platform defaulted to autotrade. I tried their platform a couple months ago and it wouldn't trade either. I had to call them to turn it on.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think your results would improve if you set you trade time to 24hrs? Or do you think it would hinder the results?

Alsup,

Are you on a live account? If not, try FIBO. I have Phoenix running on a demo account just fine, after turning off the MM feature and setting the Lots to 0.2

Hendrick, I wasn't aware you were not using surf. I thought you were since it's defaulted on. And I notice now that a lot of my losers were surf trades, so it will definitely make a differnece if it was turned off.

I notice in your settings you have a new one, "round lots up" or something like that. That must be intended to correct the error some were getting with odd lot sizes. That's great, because we could then turn MM back on. When will you post the new version? And besides that change, have you made the change that a surf trade closes a regular and vice versa?

Also, isn't there a way to transfer the settings someone posts directly into MT4 by copying it somewhere? I think I've read somewhere you have to change the extension of something. Does someone know how that's done. Thx.

Ben,

When I opened that text file, it loaded it into Notepad. I then saved that file under the experts\presets folder, with an extension of .SET Now if I want to use those settings, I just load them into the EA while attaching the EA to a chart.

Then just open a demo with someone else to test phoenix 24/7. You may find it's worth the switch. Isn't coes still clearing through cfg? If so, they're trading against you.
