Hi traderlismiss,
i'm happy that you are enjoying 'my' settings (that are original Momo's settings)
Anyway I didn't have a float loss so high with those settings 30-300-30, my Firebird float loss is about 1400$ (14% account) using M30, may be are you using a lower timeframe or a lot of pairs ??
I only can say that using Firebird based EA that is a counter-trend system isn't so simple , we have to be trained because we have for long time those negative float number that hurts our eyes, hour after hour. But as far as I can see this system seems robust and affidable in the long run and I'd like to leave my Firebird demo running for at last a year to see how powerful could be in (almost) every market conditions.
Only time will say if Firebird is THE EA ...

Skyline, I'd like to get just a bit of clarification.

You say you are using the M30, but do you mean that is the setting in the EA, or the actual timeframe of the chart you are running? I thought that Mono ran on M1 charts with M30in the code. Thanks for any help here.

I just want to take a moment and thank everyone posting in this thread. You all in one way or another have helped me fine tune my Firebird EA. I am grateful to Skyline for starting this thread and writing much if not all of the code on the EA I am now using. I want to thank glenn5t for giving me some great settings that are really working. There are great people here, some are teaching and all of us are learning. It is great to see MoneyMa$ter and others doing very well and freely sharing their results. Let's all keep it up and make Firebird the best EA out there.

Thanks

Yup all the time. I spend aprox 6 hours each day studying, and that includes some quality time here at the factory. My wife is still pleasantly suprised to see her electronic wiz kid of a husband open EVERY manual and read it from start to finish before even plugging the gizmo in or turning it on. I do the same with research, I read everything presented, then ask if there are Q's. Always been that way. I just love to learn. The balance of all that is of course to not be so crazed about learning that you don't apply what you've learned. It is sort of like the people who ask me if they should by XYZ Gizmo or wait until XYZv2 comes out! At some point in time one must take the plunge and live with the decision. And realize that even in this choice you will learn something !!! It's one of those more fun cycles in life i so enjoy. Always something new to learn each day!

My bad I am not sure there is a 'Best one' , I am currently using v63G-TS using glenn5t's settings, which are working well, Thanks glenn5t Is it the 'Best'? I don't know, but it is working. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of v2, but it does work. I am at my 'day job' so I don't have the file handy, but go back about a page in this thread where I told someone else exactly where to get the file, and settings, if you want to use them. I am using them on a mini account. GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD are the pairs, some odd AUD and NZD as well for testing. I do suggest demoing in parallel with a live account, that way you can try other pairs to see what is performing best as of today.
I apologize if it sounded like I snapped

Earlier in this thread there was someone keeping track of all the versions and settings. I am not sure who it was, but I remember it was early into the thread. I agree with MoneyMa$ter that it is easier and better for an individual to read through. Lots of good reading from the beginning.

Hi Traderone ,
I'm using Firebird v063g on M30 charts with M30 in code this leads as far as I can see to a lower float loss because less orders are opened

Skyline, I am sorry but I have been mistaken about your settings. I was right on everything except I thought you were using 1min charts instead of 30. Sorry about that mistake and it explains the difference in the float. I am going reset my settings in my one demo to match.

Thanks

I cant speak for everyone here but I have not tried yet...I have been concentrating on getting it to work well with Forex.

However applying it to metals is one of my furture projects....Thinking mainly about the volatile Silver market..

As I say lets get it trading forex well first..

my settings are on page 92..and if you read from there on you will get the changes....

Excellent. Thanks Melissa. To be clear, you're using Glenn's settings as posted in forum post #1378 on M5 timeframe but with the following pairs (taken from your statement): GBPUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, EURUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY.

Is this correct?

Do you know what the max negative float has been so far while running all 6 pairs?

Thanks a bunch!

Bill
Sorry Bill but I just noticed your question as I was reading backwards through the threads. I never ran 6 pairs at one time. I was tweaking my EA and only ran three pairs at a time and there may have been an overlap of the 4th at some point. Like glenn5t, I am running aud/usd, gpb/usd and eur/usd now. I think either using glenn5t or skyline's settings you will be fine. I think my maximum float has been at it's high around $60.00. This on 50 cent lots
