I just discovered something very interesting! I have another EA I made: Thailand. Thailand is based on a really simple concept: the cross of a SMA 2 and a SMA 15 (PRICE_CLOSE) on a 30M chart. Very suitable for a trending market (SL=42, no TP and a TS of 18). When Phoenix had a tough time in the volatile market of today, Thailand did very well. And the other way round: when Phoenix is doing very well in ranging market, Thailand lost its way. So I have to discover the "switch" to turn Phoenix into Thailand and vice versa. I will implement the " switch" and Thailand in version 2 of Phoenix. Stay tuned! (This function will replace the " Surf" function).

Are you sure you have Lots=1 in your settings? Please post your settings and I will have a look.

We are becoming like the people at the Tower of Babel... Only God alone can stop us Now... Nice discovery Hendrick....

can anyone post if trades are happening? I've only had four trades in total since 0600, despite being in the safe area most of the time. Pheonix is attached to the charts with a smiley face, and after a few seconds of switching between charts the safetotalpips=0 and validtime=1 comes up.

So what's going wrong?

I can ahve many pairs open at the same time with pheonix attached can't I?

apologies for newbie questions.

Be patient trades will open soon...

Perhaps the use of the ADX could help to determine a trend.

Hassan2... No offense but i dont think u understand Forex well...

I would sell my house to see any mechanical system handle news without some level of loss...

"24 hours without loss or problem" keep dreaming...

Trade Hours are perfect... I wouldnt even comment on that...

FYI: This EA will trade 24 hours, but not OPEN and CLOSE trades 24 hours....

If you see and EA trading 24hours in a Sideways Market I would gamble with which direction it thinks the market might move next...

If you have not tested Firebird now called Phoneix for more than 1 month then you have not seen the power of it...

Hang on buddy
