That's really odd, Yardie. Can you post your settings? Maybe someone will notice something in them.

Well the EA Phoenix 2.1 has not opened a trade in the past 24 hours. I am not sure what is wrong. Everything looks fine (expert enabled etc etc). ANy ideas what could be wrong and how I can fix it? I am sure that I have already missed out on a lot of pips already, and it was working fine before.

In your Journal, has there been attempts to place orders? Any error messages?

Because I deleted and restarted everything, my journal got deleted as well. I will be checking today.

I don't see any obvious error with the settings. As the day plays out you'll have to watch for journal entries.

Actually, i think you could just do this:
Inserted Code
valTOT=MathAbs(valTOT)/Point;
Alright, thebts, I think you're totally right. Thank you very much; we really appreciate this. I will send Hendrick a PM to tell him about that since he's on vacation right now, he's probably gonna miss this suggestion.
Keep up the good work!

I am using a demo at StrategybuilderFX. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.

I have not had a new trade opened on any of the major pairs in about 24 hours. My only new trade in the last 12 hours has been EUR/AUD. I am trading 12 pairs. A day ago I had 12 active trades. I currently have 7 active trades. I am using default settings except for SL and TP and I trade 24 hrs a day. The only errors in the journal are related to trailing stops. I am using MetaQuotes Demo.
Does Phoenix 2.1 only open 1 trade per pair before waiting for a while?
EDIT NOTE: As of 13:45 GMT three new trades have opened in the last 5 minutes. What about you Yardie?

Yes smiley face is there and all thatr. One order was opened a few hours ago BUY GBPUSD but thats it. There are no error messages in the journal. Only one position -- GBPUSD was open yesterday as well. So 2 GBPUSD position opened in almost 48 hours. No other trades in any other pairs were opened. Something is definitely wrong. .. But hard to say what it is.

do you use M5 charts or M30 charts?





Quoting wackena
Attached are result files from both Demos. ...Phoenixv2.1-2 file is the 2nd Demo above. Profits on both demos are up. Demo 1 Profit $293.74 and Demo 2 profit is $462.24.

So far, not bad.

Hi,
Have you followed these steps to install the EA?

Ok. I will list the steps and you can see if yours are correct.

1. close MT4
2. right click on start button left corner. left click on explore.
3. Scroll down until you find program files and click on the + sign.
4. scroll down until you find your broker MT4 folder and click on the + sign
5. here in the experts folder is where you place your EA. (not in the indicator folder)
6. Start your MT4 program back up.
7. Make sure you Navigator window is open on the left side, below the currency prices.
8. scroll thru the navagtor until you find your EA.
9. Drag that EA into your chart window.
10. Right click in your chart window and select Expert Advisors and then select properties.
10. this will bring up the menu of settings.
11. You can adjust the settings to any that you have found in this thread or use your own.
12. select the common tab and make sure the Allow Live Trading is selected
13. press ok.
14. go to the top of the program and make sure that the menu tab for Expert Advisors shows a green arrow and not a red x. if the red x is present, just press the tab and it will go green.
15. You should now have a smiley face in the right hand corner of your screen.

Please ignore the steps you already know. I have no idea what your level is...

hope this helps...


Thanks Scott

Would you mind sharing your actual settings for the times to trade? I am very curious since I am in the CDT (Central) and my times seem to vary widely from others. Thanks for any help here.

When there is a buysell signal generated only the buy is actually executed. Does anyone know if this was intended? Was the real intention to hedge this position and see which direction unfolded?
  • #478
  • Jul 23, 2006 7:35am Jul 23, 2006 7:35am
I double checked this and it looks like i was a bit mixed up. The Percent bands confirm which direction is to be traded after the buysell signal is generated, so only one would ever be traded anyway.

Can someone tell me how many trades were opened and closed on July 20th and 21st using Phoenix 2.1? I have a total of two trades (one on each day) for both of those days and both were on GBPUSD only. I am not sure what is wrong with the EA all of a sudden.
