sell stop instead of buy and sell orders ? if so, can somebody try to make
this change?

The attached indicator is to help those who have been looking for a single and simple way of knowing the trend across all timeframes. Even by operating on a 1min chart, you'll be able to quickly figure out whether the 4hr and Daily charts are trending up/down so as to launch the Firebird EA in the right direction. Same applies to when the trend is beginning to change.

VERY interesting indicator, have seen it in the past, but nobody was able to get me some sort of explanation how to read it.

Can you help me out?

Have an idea, but would like to hear it from a user.

Mate,

Check out this page... scroll down a little, and youll find the indicator that this is based on. Its a Guppy MACD setup.

Cheers,

I used this EA in the early days, with some degree of sucess however it only works in a ranging market and will blow your account in a trending market.
I thought this thread had been closed.

All I can say is move on, dont waste your time with it...

Hi Glen

I have been reading everything I can on Firebird EA and of course it goes back to 2006 and markets change too. I have only been involved in FX for about 3 months and I too live in Auckland. You mention we should move on from FB but prior to reading that I started up FB v3.2 (5digits) on an Alpari UK $5000 demo on Monday morning 10 August NZ time. It has done 40 completed trades with no losses and total profit $2103.94. It has 6 open trades showing a total float (hope I am using the right term) of -$1293. I am trading it out of the box with no settings changes on M5 charts with GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF and EURUSD.

My question is, how can I make this less aggressive if I want to run it on a live account with $2000 starting capital? It seems a bit too good to be true. I would like to contact you sometime but I can not do a PM because this is my first post and I do not yet qualify for sending PM's.

Cheers
John

Firebird 3.2

Broker FXDD - eurusd, gbpusd, usdjpy, usdchf
Deposit $3,000
Timeframe M5
Balance $5,120
Equity $4,779
Wins 72 - Loses 7
Open Orders 4 (Float p/l $-340)
ROI 25.9 %

Started test on 2006.12.03.

I had 7 loses, that were my fault. They comprised of 2 groups, 1st for 2 loses and 2nd for 5 loses. 1st group was when I started the test and had PercentFloatLevel=10. This only allows negative Float to be 10% of Balance before it closes all orders. 2nd group of loses...
Hi Wackena
It was a long time ago when you wrote the above post with the Firebird 3.2 attached. I am running Firebird 3.2 (5digits) on a $5000 demo which after a few days, starting Monday August 10, is up to $2180 profit and a negative float of about -$1350. Is this EA still a serious contender? Is there a later version? If I go to a $2000 live account, should I make it less aggressive? Cheers JohnRW

Here it comes, I have been trading FireBird v63 "LIVE" ) for almost 9 months so far with 300% profit with 72 trades and 1 loss (not too bad, right). My thought is the program I trade doesn't increase lot size as you progress, I have an idea to as you move on with let's say 10% risk involved your lot size increases or decreases as your Margin changes.

Now, if you are a computer gig, help me out to stick it into program. That;s what I have so far. It doesn't work though for some reason, but it will, it is just a matter of time, I will make it work. Need a little push ))

CurrentPipStep=PipStep;
if(IncreasementType>0)
{
CurrentPipStep=MathSqrt(MyOrdersTot al())*PipStep; CurrentPipStep=MathPow(MyOrdersTota l(),IncreasementType)*PipStep;
}
LogWrite("CurrentPipStep="+CurrentP ipStep);
}
Comment("");
if (PipStep) = PipStep;
else = AccountFreeMargin() / 1000.0 * (RiskPercent / 100.0);

Do you have an idea why I doesn't work, you are more when welcome to stick your ideas in to in. ))

I have been Strategy Testing a program unrelated to Firebird that increases/decreases lot size based on % of changing account balances. Good idea but hard to administer. Get the lot size a little too large and margin out. Take a loss when the account balance/lot size is large and loose nine months of gain. Double ouch.

The solution? Not sure. Be very conservative with the percent of lot size changes? Drain off profits all along the way, (best choice of the two) in which case the account balance does not get dangeriously high?
A great and reasonably priced, (Euros) fast programing service that did my code was Witold Wosniak at [email protected]. Witold is in Poland and has perfect English and amazing knowledge of Expert Advisors. He is a rare find and will help you endlessly as you progress in experience. Good luck in your trading.

well, 9 month and 300% I will take a risk, reasonable risk. 10% is a reasonable risk, isn't it? You cannot make money, and (I am talking about MONEY not penis) do it without increasing the lot size. It just doesn't make any sence to me.

HI, I would like to ask you from were did you download Firebirdv.1.03?
I google it but i cannot find it.

thank you!

Hi guys,
I'm aTOTAL newbie at this and TOTALLY ignorant. I downloaded firebird v.1.03 yesterday evening on my Demo a/c and just added SL function @25 pips. No other changes. Today morning I find that I have $1000 in profits but, the amount of trades this version enters is phenomenal. It takes on 7-8 trades in a total of 3 pairs i.e. Eur/Usd, Gbp/Usd and Aus/Usd. It opens up 2 to 3 trades in each pairs, sometimes in one direction and sometimes in opposite directions.
My question is how do I control this? Making profit is fine but if the market reverses...

I don't consider penis to be a type of currency either... But everybody to their own I guess!
