Hi

Will we need to use a magic no if used on more than 1 chart, same MT4?
I am hoping to forward test on perhaps 4 pairs.

also on backtest, it doesn't let me change T/P & S/L it sets itself to 500 T/P and 3,000 S/L... how do I change it!?


And using your EA ForexFlash, on backtest, will it know when to do sell/buy according to the EMA?!

If you want to use ea on few pairs, every ea NEED to have a different MagicNumber!!!!
Also if you want to make ea trade only one direction, you can make it
by changing the variable for that!

Thanks, ForexFlash for your contributions. With your latest EA with
magic numbers, is there a way to set the EMA to look at the M5 time
frame?

Thanks, FF. I think you just set the world speed record for adding
code to an EA.

Hi FF

The magicnumber & direction functions are still set to internal.
Can you please set to external.

Thanks

ForexFlash,

In the code, where you can select long, avoid long, short, avoid short,
does this mean the EA is directional? How can it auto-trend if it can
only be set one way, or is it overridden by the positions selection in
the Common tab, where you can select long & short?

I see that the direction can now be selected in the inputs. How would
you set it to go long and short? It looks like you have to select one or
the other.

Hi all,

According to my indis, candle pattern, news, I got a little bit insight for still driving the EA long for tomorrow, but still have to watch for the price action, if fibs level at 1.4415 breaks it means i have to be carefull.

Hi

I'm fairly new to this forex game but I love Firebird and believe it's one of the all time Great EA's. I think you're really on to something with this "Drive the Trade BUT I don't see how to do it the way the EA is writen. Can you please explain how to do it.

Thanks in advance.
