so your up $82.00...well done thats great news.....

my float as of now is.. -$112.00

over the last few days i have had some people sending me private emails with comments that are not at all pleasant.

for them I do not have a intrest in this ea and I do not benfit from it in anyway other then like you I trade with it.

My statements are factual.

Because of this attention I will stop posting my statements. however because I belive in this Ea..I will contuine to post my results only every weekending.

For those of you who are intrested please pm me and I will help if I can...

As I have said before I belive that skyline has a great ea here and has done a great job..and I would like to thank him/her for there skill.

Do server time and extern int GMT = 2 option have to do with people getting different results with the same settings (S/L, T/P and etc)? extern int GMT = 2 is this an important option, does anyone know what it is for?

Thanks.

Genn5t,

Don't let anyone keep you from posting here. We need everyone's comments and especially those who are doing well. I have started using your settings today and have already had some success without getting in too many trades.

Thanks

yes it will effect the indicators....mine is on 0.

thats great to hear...thats all keep improving this ea and lets make a great one.

glenn5t,


KEEP POSTING

Unless it is an admin, or moderator, ignore them. Yes FB can eat your account, and yes this all experimental, and everyone using it knows that!! I have used it all October, and while it almost blew up, with the help of everyone here, we pulled up, and did not crash and burn. It was totally my fault, but I was playing with the settings, and if it wasn't for all the info I got here I would have been lost. many more traders have done far worse trading manually, untill they learned how this is all done, I am still learning. While FB is not perfect, we are all working at it. I am learning, and hopefully in the next few weeks I will have a better understanding of MQ4, so I can contribute back to the cause.

Long Live Firebird !!
Rusty

I'll second all of that. Glenn5t - maybe you should forward the offensive PMs to the thread moderator and get the losers banned.

Appreciate it buddy!
It is wonderful to see some such as Glenn and others helping here !!

Do you know how the time reflects on data, and yours is set to 2, is it your server time?

Thanks.

Michaelw


the data feed will be effected and if you look at the ea it opens only one trade on Friday therefoer if your data feed is not right the whole week will be out.....

Mine is set at 0 GMT...........not EST....

Thanks guys....


The intresting thing for me at the moment and the resason I post here is the amount of you who are now getting returns from FB...

I am glad to be of help...

I have been trading for 5 years so I know how hard it is to get a start in forex and if you dont get that start its all to easy to walk away..

I setup my demo account yesterday using v63g-TS. It has entered me into four trades so far. I used the same settings as Glenn5T. I am trying to setup my demo the same as I would a live account. I am curious about two things. First, the TP is set to 40 and on both trades that closed I made 13.00 each at .50 per pip. Both SL's were red. I would have thought it would have closed higher. The second thing is I have not be entered into more trades. This is good in a way but based on what I have seen, I felt there would be more. I am trading three pairs, Eur/usd, gpb/uds, and usd/chf. It would be great to get some input.

Thanks to all

Your trailing stop probably closed the trades on a retracement before the TP of 40 was hit.

Whats your trailing stop set at...reduce it if you want to take more profit but be carefull you dont reduce the trading room for the pair to much...


take into account that the trading range for the GBP/USD for the last 32 hours has been 1.9055/1.9105.... ie 50pips if the ea is set at pip step 40 then your not going to get to many trades.

I have just reread your post and I see you say the SL was red that means the trailing stop was activated...it should say what the trailing stop set ie the no in red.


hope this helps.

I guess I don't quite understand how the trailing stop works in this ea. Does it activate after hitting a certain level? I have my TS set to 30 and my TP at 40.

I do get why I am not in more trades with little movement and a 40 pipstep.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi all,

i am still running 63G. Here's my current results.

Still hanging in there.

Great results Wizard. Are you running Mono's varible settings or the standard 30-300-30, or something completely different?



Great job and thanks for posting your sheet.
