Quoting BenQDislikedHave you ever had any EA working? Here's my suggestion: remove any EA from your charts. Start with an absolutely clean chart, probably best to just open a new chart. Then attach one of the stock EA's that come with MT4. Open up several different pairs and put it on each. Then wait a couple hours and you should have something trigger. Do this with both platforms, coesfx and SBFX. Make sure you have the smileys, and you should see something soon. Let's start here.Ignored

Quoting tradeigelDislikedBTW, don't you think we should start a new thread for Support of Phoenix? For my part, I think it's really annoying to have all these support Question/Answers in one thread together with the real stuff. I think we MUST start a new thread because if this thread stays so active (I think It's gonna be even more active) there gonna be soo many support posts that no one can find the really important posts. Even if one of the "core" members of Phoenix will never find through all these hundreds of posts which were made while he was on vacation for example. And for all the newcomers it's annoying, too. I remember, I saw the Firebird thread soo long ago, but I didn't want to look through this whole thread because there were so many unimportant posts. So I decided to skip the Firebird thread. Fortunately, I came back weeks later...
Just give some feedback.Ignored
Quoting alsup1955DislikedHave mini acct. they have no desk, trading directly with the bankIgnored
Quoting stockwetDislikedalsup1955,
Actually, that's not the case. CoesFX has a relationship with a company called CFGTrader to handle clearing for all their mini accounts. I assume you signed up through StrategyBuilderFX. If you have a standard account through them, then you are trading directly with CoesFX.
Any broker who offers direct interbank trading with mini's is not being accurate. The Interbank market is a standard lot market. Someone has to aggregate all those orders together and send them along. CFGTrader uses a dealing desk to do it.

Quoting hidetherealDislikedThis might be a dumb question but how can I run more than one demo? Do I have to download strategybuilder more than once, or is there a way to run more than one demo from the same platform?Ignored
Quoting monoDislikedEasy, Once you have installed it, just go to where its installed and copy the folder into a new one, then create a new shortcut to the terminal.exe
Create a new demo account, and away you go.
I'm currenty running 5 tests and 1 Live, but you need Ram. 512k is enough for 6 tests, but will become sluggish and cache more.

Quoting The Wizard of OzDislikedI'd like to try pheonix on the 30 min timeframe with a 30 pip take profit, nit sure about the stop. I tested the 63G on the 30 min with a 300 pip stop and managed 50% for the month with no losses at all. it was only down 1% in open orders when my demo account expired. Doh!!! I thought i had longer. Now i can't access the statement.
I am using strategy builder now since it doesn't expire.
My main question is. In order to use pheonix on a higher time frame with a bigger stop loss, what other settings should I use. i am looking into it myself but if anyone has some suggestions it would help. out of all my tests the 30 min was the only one that was consistently profitable, but in a strong trend it may be the opposite. A 300 pip stop is pretty huge.
I'd really like to do a comparison running 63G on one and phoenix on the other. My 63G settings are as follows:
