Tom - I've been running Phoenix 2.02 (including updates) in sim for two weeks. I'm finding that the long trades significantly outperform the short trades. Can you add a line to the template that lets us specify Long Only or Short Only? Here are my results.
Thank you
...Bill Dawson

All

Long Only

Short Only

Hi Bill,

The two buttons on the chart let you enable/disable longs and shorts. Just click the Shorts ON button to turn shorts OFF

I can add a property if you still need it.

Cheers

Tom

Hi Tom - I've never traded from charts and I'm not in the habit of watching them or even opening them. I'm really just interested in the automation. With a button on the template there would be no need to open the chart. I'll try using the chart and see how it goes. Perhaps you could include long only and short only checkboxes in the template whenever there's some other reason to do the next release. thanks ...Bill

I can definitely add a trade mode to the strategy properties.
