Here you go, attach is the indicators I used, hope it helps everyone. One thing I must at, the semi auto one must be really ready for daily change movements. I have been away from my trading desktop for the past 2 days.

Unable to turn it off yesterday. I did not notice the indicators has actually changed upwards... Sigh... now my float is -200pips.... but realize is +650pips... Still those are good pips realized.
......................
Yes equilec I went to Don's thread but need time to read, nevermind just straigth to the point, thx for the indis, i'll check it out..
I think FF doesnt mind if u post your MT4Stats.com statement on this forum..(if im not mistaken)

Looks like the same problem with your zip file at the first post

the file size is much smaller than the EA

may be there is probleme in the system ....

Hi Guys

Been testing this system for a while with favorable results, but am having a problem with all the alert chimes. I want to turn them off; all the sound. I've tried turning off within the indicators but still it can make a racket at times.

Does anyone know what I need to do to turn off all the sounds?

Thanks

I have no idea Tokken, my file is working fine I guess, the original one is 35kb and I compress it with zip become 10kb.

it has something to do with the program i guess, in mt4 platform try go to Tools>option and select tab "event", set them disable, but it will turn off all of the sound.

About your testing, can u please post the detail statement and the indis u are using with so we can learn. Thx

Hi Samurai,

try this.

This one also does not seem to work. Maybe try attaching the mq4 and tpl files rather than a zipped file.

Hi Samurai,

try this.
Thx, it still the same, I already download it from the original thread.

Btw looking at the BGPUSD chart, with THV template showing up move direction will give u about +200 to +300 pips today if u took the trade and drive it long. It shows up move since yesterday, and if u take the trade from yesterday it would give u arround +600 pips, try to drive long since yesterday on backtest, it gives u +633 pips.

Hi all,

JeffSmith - I think you can disable each sounds, in ''tools'' and ''events'' double click whick one you want to desable.

Tokken - Try reinstall mt4 platform, go in Tools->Options->Expert Advisor, and signed all left collums and disigned all right collums. Well, I don't know, mabey that will help you.

how are you all doing with THV method,I didn't try it yet. Gives you good overview about next day candle??

Cheers

thx Gasgas i ll try your adivce


Sp how exactly u use the thv system, if i check the picture/chart above, there is no cleare signal to buy

according to Cobra is the best way if u make only a short position below the "coral" and buy above the "coral", so that signal could be a worng one too

but the best thing if we are making some foward test

Sory tokken I forgot to add some note, bassically reading the THV template is not quite different with reading my template, THV is more advance compare to my template, i just add 5-8 open EMA to it,
BTW coral is a good indis on 5 min or 1 min chart, but on daily chart the signal confirmation will be too late, so i only see the fast trix indis and the trend bar indis (green, red and yellow bar below chart),fast trix is quite good on seeing the trend even its on daily chart. Overall its more complete than my template. Hope thats help.

Hi all,
I have been trading this version for last 3 days only on my Demo a/c. Starting capital approx. $7600. At first on default setting with MM on and after a few profitable trades I input 1% risk and added TS of 25 on Eur/Usd, Aud/Usd and Eur/Usd (the only pairs I trade). I have got a floating loss of $750 and profits of about $3000 ($2250) if I manually close all my positions just now.
The funny thing is that TS works on Eur and Gbp pairs but not on Aud. Overall I'm happy with the result but for this glitch. And another thing is because of heavy ups and downs sometimes it trades in both directions which is good just now as it hedges certain losing trades.
Fyi I use it on 5m TF only. The other settings remain default only. Today also it keeps on opening new positions. Totally 11 open trades as of now.BTW the biggest losing trade is the opened b4 I changed the risk value downwards.
Any comments or suggestions? I have not back tested it but all this is from forward testing.

Now I come to my real problem. I have opened another Demo a/c with same broker for a capital of $250 and put the EA to test with the same parameters. It has not executed even a SINGLE trade. So doesnt this EA work with small amount? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Hi guys,

I’ve been lurking on FF forum for about a year, just wanted to share my thought hoping for good feedbacks from all you guys. So here’s my thought,

[font=Calibri][size=3]I’m busy doing my job since I’m an employee, so I wanted to have a minimum control of my chart, I just want a daily control, secondly there is no EA that works forever since the market is changing overtime so I have to “drive” the EA manually ( set the EA “Long only” or “Short only”). So far it...

Hello and thank you for the great information. I just had some questions relating to "Driving" the Ea with the indicator. I tried downloading your zip file and does not seem to be an MT4 indicator or a template. (file does not have .mq4 extention) Where can I obtain your indicator?

I received a similar looking indicator free from the Forex Maestro people, called "forex silver". Since Maestro is basically Firebird repackaged I am wondering if this is the same indicator you are referring to? (has red and blue arrows signalling trend)

You mention to set the EA to trade long only or short only depending on which way the trend is going. Is this setting available in another version of Firebird, because does not seem to be available in V63H04, or V63H04-TS?

I also had another question about your strategy in general, you seem to be using the 5M charts for trading, have you found this to be more profitable overall? I have been using 15M so far with some pretty good results for the couple days I have been testing. Also in terms of the SL, you mention you are using a SL of 300. I have been using the default SL of 40 and TP 20, is this not a good idea? I realize many of my trades may get stopped out that would have eventually turned around, but 300pip SL just seems very risky to me. 1 Loss and you could be losing weeks worth of profit.

Also if any of you could point me to the right direction on a previous post regarding Ideal settings, and best currencies to trade for the Firebird V63H04 (regular and trailing stop versions) that would be great.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes Vinesh, i've tried those version too, if u set the ea and let it run it will keep open trades and u cant control it, yes u have few thousands pips profit now, but soon when the trend changing u are gonna have a very huge losses, thats why i came up with the idea of driving the EA long or short only based on the current trend on daily chart, its more controllable, and the profit looks great also.

if u set capital for only $250 then u gonna have to adjust the TP, SL and pipstep accordingly, microlot I guess, 0.01 pips, so that the EA has enough money to trade with. Hopes thats help.

Hi sergie,

I think we have problems here with zip file, ok i'll attach it on first post and u can download it there.

About the firebird driving, i think we can drive all EA, but i found that Firebird is the most profitable one. How to drive it please refer to my word file I attached on the first post.

I'm using it on 5min chart wich i found to be enough profitable, but some of us here trying to put it on 1 min and it works too, u can use your favorable timeframe if u find its more profitable.

About 300 SL, best currencies, and setting, please refer to post 1. Hopes thats help.

Thank you Samurai for your reply and clarifications. I was basically scared of that only , hence my mail. When thrend changes (and I think it changed today only) my account can be wiped out in 2 hrs. Already I have a floating P/L of -$1000 because the EA doest stop putting on trades LOL. It has a mind of its own.
