Quoting cgldsmthDislikedI'm sure the hedging version must be better to withstand trends but will still need a decent reserve for very big trends without reversals.Ignored

Quoting blewmoonDisliked8 week update with my real account. I am now on 192 winning trades with one loss [a few weeks ago]. The account balance has grown to $7,280 from $5,000 with the Open Trades about $430. This is one a variety of 63's, mainly 63G and for the past 2 weeks, 63H03. Upon using the latter, I now use 15Min MA on the 5 Min Chart. The Take Profit as been set to 25pips and NO other interferance is given. The pairs are; Eur/$, $/Can, $/Oz, Eur/CH. This is on Interbank, who seem to very good.
That is more than I can say about FXDD. I have a few accounts open [being a trader for 8 years], but I thought another one for FB wouldn't do any harm.... mmmh..
I filled in the forms and indicated that I would open a MINI account with $4,500. FXDD say that you HAVE to have a minimum of $5,000 to open a Regular Account.
I started trading it on Monday last week, it made two trades [with 63H] both of them wins. Then nothing, no trades at all on Tuesday and Wednesday until I sent FXDD at email on Wednesday [the Interbank accounts and FXDD Demo were getting trades in this time]. All of a sudden, it started trading by having 4 trades in seconds at 8.30 [news time]. BUT, when I checked they were on a BIG Account, not a mini. I suddenly realised that I was -$770 in the red [negative/losing] and this was one an account that only had $4,500 in it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
So I turned off the Auto 63H and manually traded the 4 trades. I worked out [on a 30m chart] where the Fibonacci retracement were and ‘sat it out’ To cut an even longer story short, I made money, closed them all in profit and walked away with nearly $480 for the nights work.<o></o>
But it has left a ‘nasty taste’ in my mouth about FXDD. If I hadn’t seen the trades and it had opened the full 6 pairs, I could have been wiped out in no time. If I had a normal Stop Loss [instead of 300 pips] I would have been stopped out in minutes.
BTW, FXDD didn't reply to the two emails I sent on Wednesday until the Friday, after I had logded a withdrawal form for all my money!! I did this for the way I had been treated AND also when reading this page; http://www.forexbastards.com/Fxdd.shtml<o></o>

Quoting traderoneDislikedNOt sure about all your questions but here goes:
Use the FB v1.0a available in the first post of this thread.
On a thousand dollar mini lot I would trade four pairs at .25 mini lots. I am using the USDCHF, EURUSD, USDJPY, and USDCAD to good effect.
Use the M5 charts. I think 25-250-25 is good. Percent setting is 1.0
When (we hope) your account grows to $2000 in equity simply change the lots traded to .5 minilots per pair. I use the old rule of 1 minilot per pair per $1000 in account equity. (That would be .1 lot on a standard account).
Be mentally prepared for a drawdown at first. Mine sure did! About 20%. But for the first full month of live trading I have now netted 1060 pips.
Obviously you will not be rich by next year on this method but your risk of margin calls should be minimal I would think.
Good luck.Ignored

Quoting rusty105DislikedHey everyone, I have a few questions about Firebird that I would like to figure out before I go live with it.
1) how does it handle interuptions in: power, internet connection, EA being turned off. Will it pick back up smoothly? Or will it forget about the trades it has placed before the interuption.
2) Do most people turn off their PCs over the weekend, or let it run?
3) Why does it look like, on my PC, that when FB places a pipstep order it doesn't average the previous orders and adjust the new TP level?
Thanks

Quoting moneybagsDislikedYes, this is running the system 24/7 for the 2 weeks.
Nothing was touched. No manual trade closing or anything like that.
The 30-300-30 refers to the Take Profit - Stop Loss - Pip Step values.Ignored
