1-29-07 Updated downloads with most current version. Posted by Pcontour in #119 of this thread.

Lets get started!
I think the following information would be useful in the first post:
Phoenix 4 & 5 settings and features, written by Hendrick:
Phoenix-2007_ultimate-guide_v2.pdf

Finding Optimization Settings for Expert Agents, with Phoenix as an example. Written by VinceTheBeast:
Phoenix-2007-How-To-Optimize-phoenix.pdf

Quick guide to Phoenix:
Phoenix is a counter trend EA that depends on specialized settings for each currency pair. It is recommended to use M15 timeframe unless your settings file says otherwise. Do not run Phoenix without settings for your currency. If you have consecutive losses for a currency pair, you probably need updated settings for that currency.

Current Status:
Phoenix does not have a completely stable version yet. 5.6.3 in Mode 1 is used by many people profitably, but mode 2 and mode 3 have issues introduced from patches. A new version is expected by Nov 18.

How you can help:
Please use Phoenix and post detailed results! Looking at the statements is necessary for the developers to make Phoenix more consistent. Please include information about which timeframe, broker, and settings were used (default in phoenix, or any changes, etc). Money Management settings are also of interest, but not actively under development.
Try out new versions as they are released and give us your feedback!
Review the code and offer suggestions, read our development forum and provide detailed feedback to developers on specific proposals.

Please use this thread for all of your general (non programming) questions about settings, files, guides, results, etc. Post #1-5 will be updated regularly so reading the entire thread is not necessary.
