Trailing stop is finally fixed.

This is the best yet.

If you errors on your smallest trades the following code is not foolproof. If you broker doesn't set the values correctly you can still have errors. Then set U_MinLot to the brokers minimum lot allowed using the External variable.

if(U_MinLot==0) U_MinLot = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT); //Pcontour 5.7.3
if(U_MaxLot==0) U_MaxLot = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MAXLOT); //Pcontour 5.7.3

I'll post the code as 5.7.3 and if I do any work on Phoenix 5 (optimization or otherwise) it will be using this version as the base. Thanks PContour!

Do you have a changelog? Should I refer people here for a changelog?

Nice work Pcontour, will get to testing P573 right away, thank you!

I started uptomising 5.7.3.W and some settings are promessing. In particular, the decrease factors. Initially, I did not have very good hope for this feature but it seams to be very powerful in back testing. I will continue and post my settings soon.

I split off from your code with this wack version that really works the same as 5.7.0 so not really that wacky, with some fixes and enhancements. I don't have a formal change log. I woudl like to follow any format you already have. The changes are documented, via Post 1 and Post 31.

hhsmoney and m6m6 - I'm glad to see you are testing the new features. I hope we see some improvements in the profits. My testing was promising but not expansive enough to draw any firm conclusions.

As I am getting closer to a new setting file for 5.7.3.W, and waiting for the CPU to do another pass, I noticed that the TP and SL settings are not working on uptimisation. The system always uses the original 42 and 84 pips settings. Is there a way to test them as I think it is important to do a serious job with these two settings ?

May be they will work correctly in P6 and I could test those settings then...

Ensure that U_PrefSettings = false.

I don't have access to my computer at the moment. Without your settings file I can only guess.
