Fikko, I think you also have settings with TakeProfit=80; StopSell=80 and TrailingStop=35... but I didn't find it. Also I wouldn't know which setting numbers are the latest/best anyway. Would you please check if these are last/best?

Hi Mario & Daraknor,

After a few weeks of forward test on single currecy USDJPY, I haven't found good way to do setting.

1. I use 2 months past data, tuning for the best setting (eq. October 1st - December 1st 2006)
2. Applying it for the next following week on Monday (Dec 4) and use it until friday (Dec 8)
3. Then re-calculate the best setting with 2 months data (eq. October 8th - December 8th)
4. Use the new setting for week (11-15 December).

I've done this for a few weeks, but the result is not good. Phoenix can have more than 90% winning in back test, but it couldn't predict future.

The big question is still Historical time frame to be used and when to use it and its lifetime. We need to use setting ahead the market.

One more thing, on slower market, the Take Profit should be adjusted to 30-35 for it to perform. SL should be 60... TP/SL =80/80 wouldn't be good in slow market.
