hi guys ..

I'm new to FB and i want to know ; does it start automaticlly ?? and after it closes an open trade , does it start to BUY or SELL alone again when there is a clear signal ?? OR it depends on Time (to start a new trade) ?!
and is there a good time to switch it ON like evening time for example ??

Thanx for all .

Greetings, I have tested several versions of Firebird. I woluld like to know if any of the versions have a defult setting for Max positions open?

Furthermore, is there a way to set a limit for the Max positions open?

If not would be good to have a Max positions open tab as a way to limit potential Draw Down.

Account equity

I have this alert in Expert Tabs in MT4. Account equity: xxxx.xx (a diferent number every time).

Is this affecting my EA? Because I have a few on my charts but nothing is going on. I been waiting almost 3 days.

How can i fix this problem. I cant make the EA deal.
I selected live trading on the EA setup and in the options section of Experts.

Please I need some help. Thank you

Hello all! What best timeframe for Firebird live trading? M1 or M5?

Big Thanks.John.

  • Sep 25, 2006 11:13am Sep 25, 2006 11:13am
If you want lots of trades try M1. I feel a little less stressed though when I use the M5 for fewer trades.

Hi Everyone,

I have begun to explore this unique EA Firebird in the last few days and have been very impressed with the results. This is one of the few EA's I've seen that make consistent profits. I ran Strategy Tester on the most recent posted version called "Firebird v63G-TS2". It was tested using M5 (5 minute time frame) on the EurUsd for August 06. 46 total trades, 45 wins... the 1 loss was at the end of the run where it closed out the position. Starting balance was $10000... ending balance 19978.78. Incredible 100% return on the money in 1 month. I'm attaching the report of the run for those interested.

Thanks to all who have researched and tested this.

Hi ...
I'm running Firebird v63G on M1 chart from 24-8-2006 up to date ... on 6 pairs and the starting balance was $6000 ending Balance is $12450.
I increased the lot size from 0.1 to 0.2 after I noticed that it is still safe to do that.

The number of closed trades is 164.
So, the expert did 164 * 30 = 4920 Pips.

TP = 30,
SL = 300.

This is a summary of the number of trades and the pairs,
EURUSD = 12 trades *
EURJPR = 21
GBPUSD = 51
USDCAD = 25
USDCHF = 43
USDJPY = 12

For EURUSD, I accedently closed the chart and I realized that after days or weeks, so don't rely on the final result for this pair.

Note that all the closed trades are positive.

Good luck for all !

Here is my update for the last 5 weeks with a real account.
125 trades, 124 wins with my first loss [Swissy]. Trading with 63G on Mono's setting except for the TS set on 20 now. My pairs are still the same [see earlier post]. Graph enc. showing the account from $5 K to over $6k in that time. BTW; If my S/L was 315 [instead of 300] I would have been OK in this trade. 5 mins after beeing stopped out, the market turned back down.... But that's trading!!

Well done,

The swissy is the safest and most profitable pair with firebird, my live account is growing by about 10% per week trading just that pair.

Actually I have found the USDJPY to be the most profitable in the last three weeks of so. Smashing through a brilliant 1900 pips or so! And the USDCAD has been a great performer for me lately.

Although I must admit that historically the USDCHF has been the champ.

is this the one that has trailing stop ?

it is unbelievable,

i've been running the TS version, at least one loss trade for gbpusd

no doubt i'm gonna run this live
----------------------

to wackena,

are there no different between 63g and 63g-ts (except the trailing stop)?

also,

i'm running a demo test,

$3000 mini demo account, i turned on the moneymanagement, it trades at 0.15 lot at 15cent per pip < is this correct?

or it should be $1.50 per pip?

i mean, the money managment setting is only for standard account, right?

Wackena,

I'm interested in running FB v63H04 with the trailing stop. I tried to paste the code from 63H03_TS into H04 but could not get it to compile without errors and could not attach it to the chart (I suppose due to the errors). I could not see how it differed from the H03 version. Would you be willing to post the H04 version with the trailing stop coded into it?

I've been away for a few days and just saw your post today. Attached is FB v63H04-TS. This EA has the trailing stop function. Only works when MAtype=0.

Yes, the only difference between the 2 EAs is the trailing stop.

What is your Risk=setting? Example if =5: Equity is 3000, then Lots=0.15 and you are correct this = $0.15 per pip on Mini account. Standard account 1 pip = $1.50.

The money management works on mini and standard accounts. The difference is that typically 1 lot = 10,000 units on mini and 100,000 units for standard accounts.

Can someone tell me if I did this correctly...
I was trying to eliminate the Excessive Alert function that was popping up. Is the following line the one I use // in front of to grey it out?

if ( !(IsTesting() || IsDemo()) ) { if (LossCheck()) { Alert("excessive loss!"); PlaySound("alert.wav"); return(0); }} // included by Renato

Thanks!

I just went into the Piploss input value when I started the EA and upped it to 1500 instead of 500. In fact, I did that after the EA was running and it cleared up the problem for me.
