Actually I think it's kind of a big deal because I've seen statements where EURCHF was the deal-closer on getting equity pop. Good for you, using a code compare tool. We use Beyond Compare at work. Invaluable.

No kidding? The fixes have only been out there about four hours...or did you make the fixes yourself when you saw the-game's post? url Show us your mods...

It's good to understand as many of the MetaTrader platform and MetaQuotes language idiosyncracies as humanly possible, because some of them are gamestoppers. I would like to note though that on this thread, the strategies and the EAs that implement ...

Very interesting, were you using the corrected Phantom EAs or the ones uploaded yesterday?

You're so right! The more test results we see, the better we can understand whether an EA works as intended. Thank you for providing your data.

Frazer, that is correct as far as the intent. I am still not 100% sure the generic tick value logic math is correct. It will have to be to ensure proper synch of the phantom trades with DollarProfitTarget.

For those of us who started testing the Phantoms, I suggest that we open fresh demo accounts and use the corrected versions of the EAs. url The lack of EURCHF trades in the initial flawed versions could most definitely be a negative factor.

With what EA?

The Phantom EAs have a couple of bugs (corrected now, see earlier post), plus it IS Friday. I will do my best to make sure the bugs are banished and the Phantoms earn a good reputation.

Good catch! Also, Phantom 01a probably won't open trades as-is because I didn't multiply PL_Array[i] by 10.0. I applied the corrections to Phantom14_Add_01a-the-game as well. Here are the corrected versions. | v

I started demos for Phantom 01a and 02, they look normal so far, based on the screen comments. No trades opened yet.

Here's my first attempt at modifying Phantom14_Add_01 to use a dollar trigger for adding new trades. To know if it's correct, we'll need to test on both 4-digit and 5-digit accounts.

You're missing that pips are pips. What changes are the lot size and dollar target as account equity grows. 20 pips when the lot size is 0.02 gives you more money than when the lot size is 0.01.

Close, but not quite. Tick value is one-tenth normal when there is another decimal place for exchange rates, is it not? Your example will work with "normal" 2 and 4 decimal rates. I knew people were going to chime in like this, which is why I asked ...

NO, using pips doesn't mean we'd have to keep adjusting it.

No clue.

The PipTarget4Add default of 20 is pretty small. It's a lot more than 20 pips that would be needed to get the DollarProfitTarget. So what has happened is that add-on trades started opening much sooner than they would have in previous versions. We ...

Have you missed that the trades are within the framework of a pure synthetic hedge? So yes there is something in place to prevent large losses: hedging. I suggest you look to other strategies if you are uncomfortable not having stoplosses.

Go forward not backward and try the phantoms.
