Here is a .set file that has yielded promising results on 2 months of backtesting (Oct-Nov 2006) with by-the-tick data downloaded from GainCapital. Please note that this is a fairly preliminary venture into backtesting, and the results may be improved upon by someone with more experience than I have. Still, I thought I would bring the inputs to the thread's attention for possible feedback. Just rename the .txt file to .set.

Question: can someone provide a detailed description of the meaning of each of the input settings? The old Phoenix manual is rather sketchy on some of the parameters. I'm wondering, for example, if there are trailing stops in modes 2 and 3 (and how to set them).
