no I use the file I downloaded and just adjust the lot size....and i run it on a 5min tf...after backtesting the 5 min tf return the best results....Ignored
Quoting glenn5tDislikedthanks humax.
I saw the settings, I'll give them a try next week. Do you change anything else. Like I said my FB got stuck in 3 trends USDCHF, EURUSD and USDCAD. So right now I have a big hole to crawl out of. But by looking at your statement, I should be able to do it

Quoting glenn5tDislikedchad
yes i am familiar with margin calls...i have been trading for around five years..let me explain my plan is based on a mini account and i have taken into account the cost of a lot x 12 and a surplus for the positions to move.So far I have been well within the amount required.
Remember Iam running only 3 pair.the most positions I have had opened at any one time was 10....and that happened once.
remember I have changed my pipstep..therefore I have reduced the amount positions the ea will open.Ignored
Quoting humaxDislikedHey everybody,
as we all know it is best to avoid the pair gbpusd with Firebird.
However, when backtesting FB, gbpusd is the best pair if you use 3500sl or no sl at all.
Result of backtesting for the past 2 years: 2619 wins/0 loss! (ok, none hit sl, just got stopped out at the end of test.)
10k account using mini turns into near 40k.
So I have been testing it for a month now live with microlots.
Results are 16 wins/0 loss and 1 floating -36 pips.
There should be more trades, but I had problems with the EA shutting down after reconnecting to the server.
I didn't pay much attention to it because it is only microlot and the good part of that is that I didn't interfere.
So now I am considering opening a swapfree acount to let the trades run without having to worry about the swap.
Happy tradingIgnored
Quoting MichaelwDislikedDont believe your baktest results..............anything lower then 90% accuracy is complete garbage......I used to backtest and compare results with a live account and most of the time the results did not matchIgnored
