Excellent initiative, I am hoping to set up Phoenix to automatically filter/adjust settings based on market conditions. That requires #1 detecting market settings and #2 mapping market settings to EA settings.

A related idea (and the results should be stored in this file) should have optimal results gathered over 1 or 2 weeks, and then backtested on the next week. If we make a database of the "best settings" on a week by week basis, we can start to determine what sort of conditions were present as well as A) how often the settings must be changed B) can be adjusted for optimal performance C) over what time frame the data should be gathered.

If PhoenixFund takes off even in a small way, it might be worth it to buy a very fast 2-8 processor machine that continually runs through optimization sets.
