PContour's modification produces a constant string of messages about losses and Breakit 90 50 10. Can't tell whether the trailing stop is working though.
I removed the Print statements a couple of days ago. By printing out these things, I was able to verify that Decrease factor and the TS were working correctly. There's not much to say about it now since they are gone. We take a lot of things with faith in Phoenix. I felt it would help people to see what was happening and more readily believe in the code.

Losses, was showing the number of losses in the last 3 trades and the number of lots being used as a result. Breakit was making sure the code was breaking it (it being the decrease factor entered by someone), into 3 parts correctly.

These two things, the TS and the Decrease factor, were kind of dangerous before I modified them.

Check out this undocumented and unreleased URL:

More great stuff, I'll put this link into the thread I started, so people are more likely to see it. Is the process the same as for the Alpari data.

Daraknor,

Should we update the documentation to use this FXDD data instead.

My history data from Alpari must be bad since I didn't manage to get any good settings file - whatever I did, backtesting chart went down.

Maybe this data will fix the problem.

P.s. (I don't post much, but when I do, I try to be usefull) lol lol


Backtesters will be happy !
Yes.. you don't post too much on the forum but each time... it's a good one !
See you

I do think we should update docs to use FXDD Data. *sigh* I'm installing XP again. What stupid OS crashes when you install drivers made for the version you're installing? (they were even "official compatible" drivers.)

I did an optimization run on USDJPY and had no viable results. With so many possibilities, it isn't checking enough of the potential result space. I'm going to post asking how to change the Genetic Algo system to search more than 10k possibilities at a time.

I'm hoping to run another optimization and write code at the same time tonight.

Running another optimization pass on EURUSD while working on Phoenix 6. First day my Windows machine is running, and Phoenix 6 is trading but still needs the pieces that make it worthwhile.

Here is the function that actually submits trades. Are there are any improvements or ideas to alter this? I'm off to get some sleep.

Code:
int fireTrade(int TP, int SL, double lot, int order, int incMagic = 0)
{ //Execute Trades
double price;
color arrow;
int ticket;
if (order %2==0) { //if number is even
price = Bid+priceoffset;
arrow = Blue;
}
if (order %2==1) { //if number is odd
price = Ask-priceoffset;
SL = -SL;
TP = -TP;
arrow = Red;
}
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), order, lot, price, AcceptSlip,
price - SL * Point,
price + TP * Point, "Primary Order",
MagicNumSet1 + incMagic,
0, arrow);

if (ticket != -1)
return (ticket); //TODO use ticket number somehow
else {
int error=GetLastError();
Log("Error:" + error+" "+Symbol()+" lot:"+lot+" price:"+price+" SL:"+(price-SL*Point)+" TP:"+(price+TP*Point));
if(error==135 || error==136 || error==138 || error==129 || error==130){
RefreshRates();
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(), order, lot, price, AcceptSlip,
price - SL * Point,
price + TP * Point, "Primary Order",
MagicNumSet1 + incMagic,
0, arrow);
if (ticket != -1)
return (ticket); //TODO use ticket number somehow
else
Log("Error: Order send failed twice. Quitting."+ GetLastError());
}
}
}

Error in Code

I wonder if there is an error in Phoenix code. It seems to be present in all versions. In Signal 5 below, should the reference to signal 3 be there? E.g., SellSignal3=true;
BuySignal3 =true;


//=====================SIGNAL5====================== =

bool BuySignal5=false, SellSignal5=false;

if(U_UseSig5)
{
int iHour=TimeHour(LocalTime());
int ValidTradeTime = Z_S5_ValidTradeTime(iHour);

if(ValidTradeTime==true)
{
BuySignal5 =true;
SellSignal5=true;
}
}
else
{
SellSignal3=true;
BuySignal3 =true;
}

Thanks for the scrutiny, that error needs to be fixed. I feel weird every time one of these long standing bugs is uncovered; I'm glad that in Phoenix 6 any bugs to be uncovered are at least my bugs. (instead of feeling responsible for something I didn't write) I'm considering releasing 5.6.3 in addition to Phoenix 6 soon. I'd like to make settings files for each of the currencies, but so far I'm not getting much luck (less than 10 trades per month, very low drawdown but very low profits).

Between the trailing stop, signal 5 and other bugs I'm seriously considering making 5.6.3. I'm still torn over the Fast should be faster than Slow concept, we need to have good settings before that is turned off.

I'm making a new thread about Phoenix 6, specifically "expert vs simple" versions.

New thread has Phoenix 6 ALPHA posted. I think it is pretty easy to see why Simple vs Expert is needed, and only about half of the fun features are in yet.

You make me want to double check everything line by line. I fixed this for 5.7.2b and 5.7.2.w. This error would only cause a problem for anyone who turns signal 5 to false. If they do make signal 5 false, they get no trades at all, because signal 5 remains false and there must be 5 sells signals or 5 buy signals for a trade to happen.
