Hi there !

well guys ... this is question of the staring time of this bird... I also see it at my live and demo accounts, some of them are floating kings others close one order after the other...

Itīs a question of the starting time, i donīt think that we can fix this problem...

Hope this helps,

mr.trader

Mr. Trader,

Could you please expand on this? What do you mean by starting time. In relation to the trend of the chart, or time of day?

Thanks
Rusty
I posted this a few days ago, but haven't heard from anyone about this. Has anyone else seen this effect with starting times??
After a so-so week I am hoping next week will be better.

Wackena,

Lets try it and see where it takes us. I also like Moneymasters idea, but sounds like programming might be an issue. Thanks for responding.

1Trader2
OK. I will code EA with 2 new inputs. 1st to set elapsed time before closing order and 2nd to set loss level. Both will need to be made before closing order.

Wackena,

Could you also include the money management routine like 1c has if possible and not too much trouble. Much appreciated. Don't know what we'd do without you...

Which pairs are you trading?

Quoting blewmoon
Gico,


No back test, this is a REAL account. The FB versions are all on this site and the other one. The latest 63H04 TS is [I think] by Wakena. And my settups are as posted before, basically the MONO setting but NOW on 5 MIN Chart with a 320 Stop Loss and with a T/S...

I suggest you have a "Basketful" of pairs [without Cable] and try FORWARD testing on a DEMO will various versions..

Good luck

PS I have never tried/or used version 1a

OK, we need i think one more version of FB to make it a baker's dozen ; )
Have wakena's latest version (from his post #1277) now up at our FireBird Resource Page.

Have a good weekend all. I will also, as many of you will, begin testing FB2 at market open. This week my single day of trading (was on holiday) during Thursday with vH04TS brought in 200 pips with -40 pip float as i post this Friday afternoon NY time.

MoneyMa$ter,

Don't send the check to me. Just send it to either one of my favorite charities.

"Save the Wackena Fund" or "Fred's Labrador Retreiver College Fund: Fred is my Yellow Lab. Both shoud be fully tax deductable.

Have a great weekend.

Great. Thanks for this Wackena.

But................

What are we going to use for the number of hours before close?
How about a tolerable loss number for pips?

I'm thinking 120 hours (5 days) and maybe 80 pips.
Time enough to get over a few announcements and not enough pips to kill the account.

Any ideas here?

Also, has anybody here done anything really zany like run Firebird on a 1 hour chart or H4 or Daily? Weird, but what the hey?

I got a PM that pointed out a flaw that I missed in the UseMM routine in FB-v2.0. The previous EA posted will work OK, but can have problem with some Broker's mini or standard that do not allow uneven lot sizes. Example: 0.18 lot size is not allowed. It would need to be 0.2.

I kept the same name for the EA.

SO EVERYONE PLEASED BE AWARE THAT THE PREVIOUS POSTED EA COULD HAVE PROBLEM WITH SOME BROKERS.

Got family in Garner. We built the first school house and church for black folks back in the 19th century. Owned quite a bit of Raleigh's suburbs until the fifties when my uncle the lawyer sold it for subdivision. All that tract housing over there? Owned it.

Appleparty,

Give a man an apple to eat and he's dependent on you for life. Teach a man how to plant appleseeds and he can feed himself, his family and his entire community.....

Can you read at least some of the thread? That will teach you and help you understand how the EA works. The answer to your question is not that far away.
