Important bug fixes and minor improvements.
Versão 5.2
2021.04.29
PortfolioX 5.2 fixes minor bugs and add a few new parameters
Per group parameters
_closeGroupPositionsOnLossPercent and _closeGroupPositionsOnProfitPercent
Formula adjusted, replacing Account Balance with Account FreeMargin.
_Recovery_mode = PURE_GRID
When using _Recovery_mode = PURE_GRID, also if using _operatingMethod = VERIFY_EXIT_FILTERS, PortfolioX now ignores any exit signal to close a position, but continues to read them prior to open a new position.
_Recovery_Use_ExitPositionTrigger_AsDeny
If true, new positions on RecoveryEngine needs to pass on ExitTriggers to be oppened.
Two additional filter on Recovery Engine.
_A_Recovery_GridPositionsFilter3 and _A_Recovery_GridPositionsFilter4
General parameters
_minPositionRunMinutes
It avoids closing a position in a very short time, which is denied by some brokers and financed accounts.
_globalVolumeCoeficient
Allow us to change the volume of all strategies at once, to simplify some adjusts and backtests. Default = 1.0 , if set as 0.5 , so every new main positions will have the volume as 50% if using 1.0. Note that there are minimum lot value on symbols. To trade with low balance, below USD $10,000 , consider using cent accounts.
_CommissionPerLot
Allows the EA to compute the commission on profit related features, like _closeAllPositionsOnProfitPercent or RecoveryEngine internal functions.
_EquityAbortLimit_max and _EquityAbortLimit_min
The EA will close all trades and suspend new ones since the account equity reaches any of these limits.
Other changes
Bug fix on formula for SL_TP_BY_POINTS and SL_TP_BY_ATR.
Please verify on backtest any old strategy prior to run it on this version.
More StringCode groups are available
New options on the first value of StringCodes. We have the two options ON and OFF, and new ones as following:
1 or ON => OPEN_ALL_POSITIONS
2 or OPEN_NONE => OPEN_NONE
3 or OPEN_RECOVERY_POSITIONS_ONLY => OPEN_RECOVERY_POSITIONS_ONLY
4 or CLOSE_ALL_POSITIONS_AND_STOP => CLOSE_ALL_POSITIONS_AND_STOP
Any other value => OFF (StringCode ignored)
These actions are related to group positions only, does not affect other group positions and trades.
To have these actions on all groups/positions, look at Input parameter _OpenNewPositions.
Versão 5.1
2021.03.25
PortfolioX 5.1 brings some minor improvements, but pretty effective.
Per group parameters
_closeGroupPositionsOnLossPercent
New parameter to force closing all group positions if a percent of the account balance is reached.
_ExitPositionTrigger0-G (zero to letter G)
Added 8 new Exit filter fields.
_ExitTriggerType has two new options
_ANY_1to9_OR_OnProfit_ANY_OTHER
_ANY_1to9_OR_OnProfit_ANY_OTHER_AlsoOnEnter
These are powerful options and have this behavior:
_ANY_1to9: This part set PortfolioX to close group positions if any of the ExitTrigger filters from zero to nine give a signal.
OR_OnProfit_ANY_OTHER: This part set PortfolioX to close group positions if any of ALL the ExitTrigger filters give a signal, and the position is in Profit.
OR_OnProfit_ANY_OTHER_AlsoOnEnter: The same as above, but prior to opening a position all ExitTrigger filters are verified to allow it, not only the zero to nine filters.
General parameters
_AllowHedgingOnSymbols
If false, this option makes it easier for US residents to run PortfolioX on US FOREX rules.
_ReserveMarginPercent_AutoUpdateMonthly
Name changed to fix a typo.
Other changes
Some parameters and options were renamed to have better meaning.
CONSERVATIVE renamed to VERIFY_EXIT_FILTERS

Versão 5.0

Two amazing new features have been added:

- Recovery Engine

Versão 4.18
2021.01.12
We are pleased to announce PortfolioX version 4.18
The default set file comes with all strategy sets enabled, and some strategies selected. After a while we will have the opportunity to try out the new strategies added and create better lists for our use.
This new set file basically uses native strategy parameters, we do not configure Break Even, trailing, ATR or filters in groups. Only a few filters in NZDUSD were used. PortfolioX retain all these features, only the new set file had these unused.
The default set file comes with _VolumeByRisk = false, to pass the mql5 validation, we recommend setting it to be true in your real account or backtests.
New Strategy Sets
This version got six new packs of strategies, here are they:
CADCHF_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (88 strategies)
EURAUD_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (137 strategie)
GBPCAD_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (156 strategie)
GBPCHF_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (120 strategie)
GBPUSD_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (127 strategie)
NZDUSD_H1_STRATEGY_SET_01 (116 strategie)
Modifications
New filters
MagicNumber now is built using group number, and not anymore strategySet. This new formula enable the usage of same StrategySet and strategies on multiple groups, without conflicting.
CloseAllPositions, in case of overall profit was improved to catch missing opened positions.
Removed second Break Even on groups, to make EA settings easier to handle, since trailing can do it’s job.
Removed option created on 4.17, that negative triggers would use ATR Stop Loss distance as starting point. The new feature “BE_Trailing_Triggers” makes it clear and powerful.
Break Even and Trailing triggers can now have negative starting point.
New feature on groups, BE_Trailing_Triggers, enable you to configure the triggers starting point to be one of these:
ENTER_PRICE – regular usage
SL_PLUS_SPREAD_DISTANCE – starting from the same distance of the Stop Loss + spread
STRATEGY_TP – starting from the Take Profit distance.
The last two option remove the positions Take Profit, and can also have strategy TP/SL overwrited by ATR, if desired.
New parameter _ATR_SL_bars. When using SL or TP by ATR, this allow you to set the number os bars used to calculate the ATR value.
New parameters _ReserveMargin and _ReserveMarginPercent_AutoUpdateMontly. Intended for money management, when using _VolumeByRisk=true, _ReserveMargin will be deduct from FreeMargin, so PortfolioX will calculate positions volume considering the available margin as (FreeMargin – _ReserveMargin ). Ex: you have $10.000 as FreeMargin and wants $8.000 as reserved. So PortfolioX will calculate new positions volume considering only $2.000 of margin.
_ReserveMarginPercent_AutoUpdateMontly enable PortfolioX to auto update the _ReserveMargin value at the beginning of each month, to the percent here entered. Ex: A _ReserveMargin of 80 means that PortfolioX will update once a month the _ReserveMargin to 80% of your account FreeMargin.
