Phoenix and currency correlation

Ok, Phoenix is not a bad EA. Look at your statements and Phoenix is still in the top 10 of the Contest. So it has some kind of potential. However what I don’t like is that some trades are in contradiction to each other. It don’t take currency correlation in account (if you don’t know what currency correlation means, just Google it). So I want to build a correlation function in Phoenix and this is the idea behind it:

There are 2 pairs that are far more profitable than the others: GBPJPY and USDJPY. What I want to do is to make a special (test) version of Phoenix, Phoenix Account Booster (I don’t like small gains, I want my account to increase substantially within 1 year) that’s taken the following currency correlation in account:

SELL - GBPJPY will means:
BUY EURCHF, SELL CHFJPY and BUY EURGBP at the same time
BUY GBPJPY :
Sell EURCHF, BUY CHFJPY and SELL EURGBP

BUY USDJPY:
SELL EURUSD, SELL GBPUSD, BUY USDCHF
Sell USDJPY:
BUY EURUSD, BUY GBPUSD, SELL USDCHF

The only thing you have to do is to attach PhoenixAccountBooster to the charts GBPJPY and USDJPY and the EA will do the rest. Is it risky? Yes of course. If one trade goes against you, all the other trades will do the same. So we have to find a way to keep this risk between acceptable borders. First is the performance until now of the GBPJPY and the USDJPY with Phoenix. According to this performance you may expect more profitable trades than loosing trades form these pairs. Furthermore I will try to find new settings for a SL, TP ratio of 1:2 (it’s now 2:1).

Problem is that you can’t backward test “correlation EA’s”, so I have to forward test it on a demo-account. I will post this special version in the weekend. So if you have some space to test another EA the please be my guest!!

Please give me some feedback about this!
