Well, after losing 600 pips the last two weeks on my LIVE account on M1 charts, I am moving my live account to M5 charts today on the 1.0a version.
Two pair, EURUSD and USDCHF. I will add USDJPY and USDCAD with smaller lots on M5 same version.

I plan to begin testing of H03 on the 5 minute and m1 charts. I will continue my testing of the 1.0b2(hedge) on M1, and may begin M5 testing on the trailing stop version also. Good luck everybody, especially you LIVE folks

If somebody can pls code it into verion H03 some posts above !

chad, I would say usd/cad or, and this is just my experience, the nzd/usd. You can some decent moves out of either one. Stay away from gbp or it's crosses, too volatile for this ea, leads to many open orders.

Wow, I'm completly baffled at the lack of trades taken when ur live verus demo. I've been live about a week now useing 1c tradeing the same pairs, same settings and the live account does not take a third of the trades as the demo. Does someone have a anwser for this odd behavior. I'm making quite a few live pips, but would of been lots more if firebird was taking the treades like in the demo?????????????????????????

no errors in the journal. I'm using CFG trader for my live account and also have a demo going in that station...I also have a demo going in Coes MT4 who use the same MT4 platform. Both demos take many, mamy more trades. Too weird. The broker should not be able to influance the MT4 can they????

Also check your Experts tab for errors. If none, go to Tools, then Options, then Trade tab, then set Lots by Default to Default and 0.01 in box. If this doesn't make a difference contact your Broker as there should be none or at least minimal difference between demo and live.

I have been trading fb v1.0c and v1.0a (s/l 250 and t/p 30) on FXDD and Fibo Group. I started FXDD out at $500 and fibo at $300. They both were cut in about half due to losses on M1 charts. Once I switched over to the M5 charts, I have recouped my losses and then some. Now both accounts are above what I originally started with.

It appears the larger your account becomes, the more trades are opened. However, my concern is when you hit a negative value for "Free Margin".

For folks live trading on a live/real account using this EA: Have you ever had a margin call because Free margin hit 0 or less than 0? Or does it not work that way?

cgldsmith,

I backtested v1.0b3 on usdchf and it did place hedge orders. Hedge order should be placed at same time as first Pipstep order.

Do a backtest to see if you see hedge orders.

I am trading LIVE on IBFX right now on four pairs. The last two weeks were rocky but I'm now above my starting point. I have not had a margin call at all. I am also now running on M5 charts although I started on M1 originally.

Hello fellow fbers,

I have the FB running on NF and activated however it has not taken a trade since inception..

Expert Advisor is on and script has been attached to chart.. What could be causing this EA not to work?

I am using North Finance as broker if that helps..
