Hi Hendrick,

I have been running the Phoenix on the NEXTT & NF's demo for more than 10 hours for the USDCHF & GBPUSD pairs. However, there is still no trade triggered. (Just on the default setting)

Maybe have some bugs?!

Wilson, please check:

- Do you see a smiling smiley in the upperright hand corner of both charts?

- Timeframe should be 15M

- Open Journal Tab to see if there are any error entries showing

If all is correct, like BrazilianTrader said: be patient, trades will come.

Hi Herbert,

Yes, the conditions you mentioned are all fine.

In fact, I have been running the other 3 pairs (USD,GBP,EUR /JPY) as well and they are running fine. That's why I suspect any bug of the EA on the 2 pairs.

Thanks!

Wilson,

Backtesting these 2 pairs, shows trades every 2-3 days on average.

If you would have started on opening last night both would have opened trades around 01:30

If you started your EA any time later, I cannot tell if there was any other trigger yet.

Patience is a virtue....

I leave my two trade to see where they go...

For the moment

GB/JPY -30 pips

US/JPY -38

As they closed I will switch to Mode1

(in demo account you feel cool but if it was in real...grrrrr)

don't switch back and forth just because of one bad trade. let it ride for a week or two and then make adjustments.

there are good days and bad days, there a good weeks and not so good weeks.

I'm run live with FXDD (only USDJPY) all positions are positive.

do you mind posting a trading statement? i'd like to compare to my demo trades.

what are you're EA settings - standard or mini account?

from what i have seen/read it looks like FXDD's demo and live accounts are trading pretty close - not like IBFX.

2 simple questions embaressed)

Should I keep computer running 24/5? Will EA work when I close MT4?

Thanx.

your computer has to be on. an expert adivsor (EA) runs locally on your computer. once an order is placed with the broker. the order will be closed according to the SL or TP settings but that's about it.

i have mine on all day all night for the whole week of trading. some poeple do prefer not to trade on fridays and some avoid the first few hours of a new trading week.

100% agree ... Reason why I let the two trade going.

BTW I feel a bit disconcerting by the differences in running the same EA on the same pairs at the same time with the same settings and having results totally different

 

I have switched to 2 lots, but Phoenix4 opens always 1 lot (Interbank,mini)

What is the solution ?

Thanks in advance.

 

I've started running the latest version of Phoenix on a live account on IBFX. .10 Risk ! heh. Will post a statement at the end of the week.
