Hi, Samurai; nice pips
Can you make some screenshoots with your trend-s and stop-s lines ?
Nothing special my fren, just a trendline, below is my trendline setup on my computer not in my VPS. I was just thinking that I can use trendline to draw a horisontal line also. - 300pips on that one, TL was too close to PA and SL was too tight.

Regards,
Samurai Power

Hi DojiMojo.

Thanks for taking time to respond. You have seen ActionPl's response on the same query? I'll re-test again and see what happens.

Hi Bnbb
Using the last version posted on May the 10th
Using 50pip TP and 300SL
I don't obey any indicator - just try to enter along when price action seems to describe a trend.
I use trendline with description: UpTrend_Close_Alert_50 (in the case of uptrend, but I usually act manually before the alert trendline is hit. Good to have it though in case of sudden swings...
When price action seems to describe an end to the trend I stop the EA trading, pull the stop losses of open trades just behind last high high or low low, and wait.
Still on demo, and not long at that either. The statistical average will become apparent after a few weeks - let's hope it's a winner!

This for me is just not working - I have "UpTrend_Close_Alert_" some times it closes and then some times it does not and just keeps opening trades even when the trendline has been hit and shows "UpTrend_Close_

HELP Please - Have i got this set up right????
Hi Puntalara, go to post --> 1413, Clean your chart using this procedure.

Actionpl thank you for your answer!

I have 3 trades open with -60$ total. Is there any problem if they don't close before the weekend? Thank you.
Hi, you can let it run. It all depend your risk tolerances. Some experience traders who are more conservative, will close all their trade on Friday et restart on Monday. You have to find your style.

Hi, for those of you who want to update to the latest version, i have clean up some variables that were not used and correct a system call that was obsolete. This should not make a significant chage for most of you. It should produce more consistent comments on top left screen, mainly when "marketanalysis" appear. This message will appear for 10 min after a close since the FireBird EA will not open a trade for 10 min after a close(with variable "Chart_Time_Frame=5"). That is an other feature that prevent the EA to initiate a new trade on fast changing market.

P.S. Version 1.5 need still more foward testing in order to validate my trend cleanup fonctions.

Have a good trading week.

P.S. Used this template to clean your chart before attaching this EA. It should eliminate erratic operations.

One more question: What "bad hours" means? i didn't change the settings and it worked until now. My OpeningHour is 0 and ClosingHour is 24 and TradeFrom1 is 0 and TradeUntil1 is 24.

Is GMT very important? Now it's set at 0 and i should put it 2.

There is a divergence limit parameter, by default it is set to 0.002. In the EA, the codes calculate the divergence for every tick and if the divergence is over 0.002 then it will show the "bad hours" message indicating it is not safe to trade.

This message will show up on all JPY pairs very often.

Hi Pulainmata,

Are you trading live? Are you able to open more than 1 orders by using the FireBird?

Quoting pulainmata
Hello all! I started to test this EA but i have a small problem. On my demo account it opens many orders, but on my live account it only opens 1 order per pair even if my MaxOrders is set to 5. Lot size is 0.10 and i got the money for more orders. Do you know why? Thank you?

Yes i have it live and on demo same settings. On demo i have "bad hours" and on live it tells me it's safe to trade. DivergenceLimit 0.005 and Use_V63D_Divergence is set to true!

Try reading this: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1431

I think you don't afford to open more than 1 trade per pair because of your low equity.

Please double check if the GMT and DST are the same on live and demo. But no matter what GMT and DST are, the divergence is over the limit for sure, otherwise you won't receive the message.

If the settings on live and demo are absolutely the same then the only possibility is that the data feeds from live and demo are a bit different. Maybe you are using different brokers or the same broker but provides you with a little bit different data for live and for demo.

BTW, I noticed that if I set Use_V63D_Divergence to true, it opens fewer trades, so I set it to false.

Good luck!

All settings are the same and the broker is the same.

Any idea if there are fewer and with less downswings or it's just fewer?

I am not sure. It generates fewer trades during back testing, and that is why I keep it false.

Hi all,
Can I use the EA on the daily chart directly? I notice the setting for TF in the EA is 5 min so I presume it does not matter which TF we use for the EA? Am I correct?
Happy Trading

That's an amazing achievement for this system. Fingers crossed you can keep or even better your position. Obviously after the contest has finished we all would like your feedback and details on strategy.

Good luck!
