I found that if I can't change the parameters, I end up rewriting it from start to finish...
That sounds like something I would do.

Can you please save and upload your settings as well - I'm having the same problem where the EA is not making any trades.

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean by install it? Have you copied it into your "experts" folder yet? If not do this:


Copy the Firebird.mq4 file (right click choose copy), find the MT4 Broker folder in your Progam Files folder, go into the "experts" folder and paste it in.

Eg. - go into My Computer / C Drive / Program Files / Your Broker/ Experts/

Reload your MT4 and should find the EA in your Expert Adviser list on the left hand side.

Then just attach it to your chart and make sure your Expert Advisor button is clicked on and you should see the ol happy face.

Ps. How is Fap Turbo Performing these days? I tried it out myself about 6 weeks back but returned it after a couple weeks. Didn't like the huge losses it would sustain about every 5 or 6 trades plus in my mind with 100,000 people initiating trades at the exact same time every day somethings gotta give sooner or later (eg. brokers jacking up the spreads).

I had a question of my own. I just started playing around with Firebird v63H04 and the V63H04-TS. For the trailing stop version I haven't actually used it yet but I am very confused as to how the traling stop is actually supposed to work.

The default settings are Tp = 18 SL = 42 and TS = 30

If the TP is only 18 how would the TS 30 ever trigger? Does it creep up your stop loss once you are into profit?

Eg. you are up +5 pips in the trade so your SL moves to -37 pips below your entry instead of -42 below your entry?

If so seems to kind of defeat the purpose of a 42 pip SL - to give enough breathing room in case the price goes against you for a while.

Thanks
Serge

Thanks very much for the install tip.The Fapturbo works fairly well.It was my first EA and produced pretty good gains during the first 2 months and then I had a drawdown of $163.Account had grown from $718 to about $1063 then one trade lost $163.I have gained back $63 of the loss this past week.The biggest problem is the limited times Fap trades.Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.Hopefully in the long run it will pay off.

1Trader2 has asked me to include Money Management routine in Firebird-v63h04-TS.

Attached is Firebird-v63H04-TSMM.

Wackena
Wackena, I am trying out this edition of FB. The TS is engaging but it doesnt really trail as the profit goes up? It stays fixed at the point. Is this how it is supposed to work? So it secures the pips but does not increase it with favourable movement.
Thanks,

Vinesh
p.s. It trades more reliably on 30 minutes TF. On 15 TF it is not trading as reliably.
BTW 1 trade generated full profit but the other was stopped out at the TS engaged price in spite of price rising after it was engaged.

s/l 1000 ? does it mean 1000 pips or 100 pips ?
  • #1,216
  • Dec 29, 2010 11:05am Dec 29, 2010 11:05am
I adjusted it to a five digit broker, the s/l is 100 pips but for five digit broker it is 1000 points.
