Question

I would like to know if the following is normal:

Phoenix 5.7.1

I Have different T/P positions depending on the Mode setting.

In Mode 1 (Default setting except MM at 10% risk), GBP/USD opened a position at 1.9503 with a T/P 42 pips away. In mode 3 (Default, 5%, separate account), it opened at 1.9505 with the first T/P 88 pips away, the second 110 pips away and the third 132 pis away.

The trades were opened normally at almost the same time in separate accounts. I also observed this in version 5.7.0.

Using the default settings, the take profit for GBPUSD should be 48 pips. What is your T1adj T2adj and T3adj?

Here are the default settings for 5.7.1

P_Mode3_T1adj = 0.8;

P_Mode3_T2adj = 1.0;

P_Mode3_T3adj = 1.2;

This *should* cause the second trade to be 48 pips. Trade1=38 pip Trade2=48 pip Trade3=58 pip

If you have high numbers for these values, then the take profit will be high as well. Backtest best results appear to be 1.0 1.0 1.7

The 3 "adj" are as default. In the code, I have this as default in both software for two different accounts:

if((Symbol() == "GBPUSD") || (Symbol() == "GBPUSDm"))

{

P_Mode1_TrailingStop = 0; // Also used in the X_ForceClose_or_GraceModify function

P_Mode12_TakeProfit = 42;

P_Mode12_StopLoss = 84;

P_Mode2_OpenTrade_2 = 5;

P_Mode2_TakeProfit = 95;

P_Mode2_StopLoss = 90;

P_Mode3_CloseTrade2_3 = 90;

P_Mode3_TakeProfit = 110;

P_Mode3_StopLoss = 80;

Is there something to change in the above code ?

I will resume next week with suggested settings 1.0, 1.0, 1.7

Thank you in advance for clarifying this matter...

The 1.0 1.0 1.7 was optimized based on a TP=48. I need to write the manual that talks about which settings are "money management optimization", "trade optimization" and "signal optimization". Modifying the TP & Mode3 T1adj T2adj and T3adj should be done as a "set" and not independently since they are both MM and Trade Optimization. For mode1 Trade optimization and Money management can be configured separately, but mode3 they are usually the same settings.

Short version: when you modify TP, you should calculate your own best T1adj T2adj T3adj.

 

5.7.1 should be functionally equivalent to 5.7.0 except for "grace period" trading which no one really seems to be using/testing. I will verify one of the "invisible fixes" is indeed invisible and working as intended soon.

5.7.0 is considered stable, 5.7.1 is testing. If I spend a lot of time writing documentation, it will be for 5.7.1+
