nice to see firebird RISES AGAIN

maybe this indi is good for filtering Long or Short trade

if this EA can do automatically... i will lose my job.... what i should do cause i will no longer watch my chart again... lol
Ha..ha..thats my dream stevenali, i've been wondering that since long time ago, but since i think its nearly impossible (my opinion, but still keep hoping) so I have to stick with driving this.

Thx for the indis, i will try different setting.

Hi sergiel and all,

Something i would like to say about, yes demo account result will be different with live result, coz emotion plays its role (thats the only differences), me myself dont recomend taking this live untill u have a really really really good experience with this, demo for at least 3 month so u can have all the feel, spescially on a difficult times, take as much as possible difficult time with this system, and learn how to encounter it, i'm telling u guys this is really really important, i do really know exactly this is a very powerfull...
Very good advice Samurai. I personally plan on testing several versions for a min of 1 month before I even consider going live with a micro account. I would like to add one small qualification to what you said.

I am by no means an expert as I have never traded live but from what I have read there may be a small difference in result btw a live & demo beyond just emotion. This is due to slippage etc especially if you are using a dealing desk with an actual human being sitting on the other end as opposed to a non-dealing desk. But if you are using a reputable broker shouldn't be too much of a difference.

I hope you didn't take offence to my last post, just wanted to make sure all newbies were fully informed before putting their hard earned money on the line.

Not to get off topic too much but speaking of brokers, are you trading live right now Samurai? If so do you have any recommendations?

I was thinking Alpari...have read some good things about them, and other EA's seem to perform best with Alpari as compared to the other Major brokers (prob has alot to do with low spreads).

Thanks
Serge

Ha..ha..
I'm not great yet untill I can give u lots of green pips in this universe. There is many other great trader here, im not include yet.

Vinesh my wife is laughing out loud, she prefer to chose "Toyota" for my name coz its more branded.

Keep downloading till u reach the file size Vinesh, we have problem with zip file lately, hopefully not with other file..

Tell your wife that 'Toyota' maybe a Brand name but it is commercialized. You are not selling your knowledge but helping people like me. We will also make green pips with your help I'm sure.
If we cannot then it is our 'Karma'. I am an Indian and believe in 'Karma'.

Shogun,
I am not able to download the tpl file. I tried several times. Now my question is whether I can load all these indicators on your original HA template and whether they'll work or not.
Thanks,

It still will work Vinesh, just load all of the indis on the chart, set all of the paramater according to cobra's rules, and save your own template.

Hey all just had another quick question. If I have the Max Orders set to 3 on each currency pair I am running will this allow up to 3 orders at once for each currency pair, or does this limit the EA to 3 total orders across all currency pairs I am running?

I am guessing each currecy pair is seperately controlled by the EA attached to its chart but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

Thanks guys,

Yes Shogun, I am running the V63H04, and the V63H04-TS versions. These versions run much differently then the one you are using. This version uses a default: TP = 18, SL = 42, and Pip Step = 40. The TS version also uses a Trailing Stop of 30 pips.

I think it will probably have more losing trades than the version you are running however these will be limited to 42 pips. This style fits my comfort level a little better cutting down on the big swings.

But having said that it will be interesting to see if you guys running the V63G version can cut down on the losses by "Driving" it.

I will also be attempting to "Drive" as well so it will be nice to compare the two.

Happy Trading!

I see that sergiel, in my opinion 42 SL is too tight for my firebird version, it was disscussed on the previous thread that it will hit SL quite often, but maybe your version has a different behaviour than the one im using with, can u please post your version, im just cuorious, thx

Sure Shogun, it is Firebird V63H04 and can be found here: http://www.accrete.com/fx-mirror/mt4...a-archives.htm

I have only traded with it for one day, as I just came across it on Thursday evening while doing some research on Maestro. However with my very, very limited test results so far not too bad.

It made 9 winning trades of 18 pips and 1 losing trade of 42 pips for a total of +120 pips. This was on the EurUsd currency alone during about a 14 hour period (From Thurs night 9pm E.S.T to Friday 11 am E.S.T.)

Interesting is that the losing trade was a Sell EurUsd order. If I had been "Driving" the Ea I would have noticed that there was definitely an up-trend on March 12,13 so would have had the EA set to "Long Only". However on the flip side 4 out of the successful 9 trades it made were Sell orders so it would have actually came out worse off overall if I had done that.

What I will probably end up doing is running two simultaneous tests: One with the "Drive" strategy, and one without. This EA seems to have some extra safeguards built in compared to the V63G, so may be interesting to see which test comes out with more profits.

Hope this helps, will keep you posted.

Serge
