Rusty105,


You were looking for this,
Might not be the ideal place to upload it, maybe someone could sticky it or something. I've started the process but no backtests yet.
Not exactally, I have that document. But I remember seeing a post or a couple of posts regarding backtesting in MT4, and how to make it near 100% quality. It went on to explain how to import history, and how to make sure that the version you use for backtesting doesn't connect to any account, or it will over write the history file, etc.....

Thanks
Rusty

Is ther anyone who is testing all the versions of firebird (started at the same date)....I ahve tested all the versions available but It looks like the original version V63G works best with 5M...


Thanks
But have you tested all versions with the different setups. The settings, to me, are as important as the version if not more so. I have tested a few versions and it seems the v63g-ts works best because you can set your take profit much higher and then let the TS take care of you if it does not reach the full TP.

All my trades for this week so far are in the wrong direction. I know they will turn around but I am wondering if everyone experienced sell trades on the GPDUSD, EURUSD, and AUDUSD?

Mine are as well...all short...

Thats why its important to trade only a few pairs so you maintain a good margin.

Thats why iam a bit worried about Piece Of The Pie and his7 pairs..I only hope he has a large balance.....

Glenn
Yes, 740 pips.
I am on a standard account trading 0.1 lots.
As with most people on this tread, my settings have been changing, getting more conservative as I go.

I am only trading 6 pairs now.
Closed trades last week....
AUD/USD 1 for 16 pips
EUR/JPY 4 for 111 pips
GBP/USD 8 for 248 pips
USD/CAD 3 for 90 pips
USD/CHF 3 for 106 pips
USD/JPY 6 for 169 pips

My float has been staying pretty constant since changing my pipstep from 10-12 to 40. All of my losses were from hitting stop losses from a few weeks ago when the USD was trending over 200 pips and my stop loss settings were in the 200 range. (See post 1495).

5 trades have closed so far today for +135 pips.

Very nice
I wonder, could you tell me what settings you are using for USDJPY, I seem to not have any luck with this pair. I may close one trade once in a while with this pair, but not as many as you are. What percent, tp, sl, and pipstep. Are they the same for all the pairs you are trading? And if you are in a trade right now, is it long or short?

Thanks

Very impressive...iam testing the settings for v63h04-ts.mm and v63h04-ts on a standard account (demo) at the moment and will add 63g-TS to that mix...

Well done...

Hey Rusty,

I am in one trade now, from about 2am Central Time today. It is a short. About 7 pips in profit right now.

I am using th v1.0a for USD/JPY. Percent is 0.1, TP is 30, SL is 300, Pipstep is 40. I will probably change to the Firebird with the JPY fix so I can add the TS.

I had one trade close today at 2am that was opened on Friday. It was a Long position for +30 pips

Hope that helps.

re. all trades being shorts. This is why I switched to the hedge version, so at least FB makes money on it's way while trending. what I really want is some coding expert to be able to alter the TP level so that the hedge trade in the trending direction is greater than the counter-trend trade.
