Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the links to the ebooks - I'm sure it will provide many hours of fun reading.

Can you recommend other books the further describe the way pairs trade in bullish/bearish modes.

I really liked your last post about risk appetite and risk aversion. I pulled up a chart and overlaid all the pairs you mentioned and it is amazing how closely they follow each other. This was very enlightening to me.

So, far I have always been evaluating each pair as a stand-alone trade. But now I see that I should be looking at other pairs to gauge how they all will move...

to get the EA to trade on the 5 minute chart we set Chart_Time_Frame: to 5 correct?

also, can someone tell me what the EA conditions for entering the first trade are? i know its in the code but i have no idea how to read the code as im not a computer programmer....thanks!

Hi,
Place the EA in say 4H chart, then set Chart_Time_Frame: to 5M - this will monitor the 5M time frame to enter trades, The trend lines for reducing /closing the SL can them be drawn on the 4H chart. 5M chart need not appear on your screen, although I have it up permanently.

I just want to address 2 issues quickly before we loose focus on this forum. This is a great forum, I don't know about others, but for me, this is the best EA I have come accross.

The first issue is that i want you guys to know that TheGabriel did not get a margin call with this EA, some people thought thats what happened, maybe he needs to clearify that part more specifically (though he did mention it a couple of times).

Also, for theforexpert, all i can say is congratulations to you on your EA. I hope you keep making the money, but all I can see is commercial, if you think the EA is that good maybe you should put it in a contest, you will get more customers that way or try to open another forum for your EA. I'm amazed how people fall for little things, the fact that somebody shows you an account doesn't necessarily means that it's from that EA or a modified statement. This is the reason why most of us loose money all the time, because we never learn from our mistakes, how many times have you bought a blakcbox EA with all the promise in the world only to end up with a margin call.
Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not against his EAs, all i'm saying is, these two guys, Samurai and Actionpl have put so much time an energy just to make the Firebird EA perfect all for free, but because there is no price tag attached to it we think it doesn't work. I'm telling you, this EA works, if you really take time to study it, i have made more money trading with this EA than with any other EAs I have ever used. Hey, what I mean is, be careful what you fall for, this is your chance to make your own blackbox, you get your questions and responses answered without any charge, no private PMs, no private list, nothing is private, its all open, anything private has a private agenda. Please, give it up to this 2 guys, and keep the sanctity of this forum, take time to learn the EA, the code is open to you, and the 2 guys are very humble, they answer almost all questions, you don't have to go with the latest updated EA, get use to one, like me, i'm still using the v3.1a, and its still making money. Please, you've spent too much time and money to get burnt again, you came to make money so concentrate, learn, and make it, don't fall for what you don't know, it's called forex and not gambling.
Well i guess I got too emotional there, but it got to be said. I'm not out to accuse anybody or point fingers, its just my 2cents.

I was following this thread up to about a month back when I stumbled on a fully automated EA. Just to inform SamuraiPower that a fully automatic EA now exists because he said he would like to hear of any such.

It's an aggressive scalper EA that works only on pairs with 1-2 pip spread max. Although the original EA called ISEA am told, works with Sigma forex but I'll never trust that broker with 1 cent of mine!

So I simply got an excellent coder to study how the EA works and I got it at a good discount. Works 24/5 without any form of intervention...

Yea Trading in the Zone will do you a world of good. Trends in forex are determined by market sentiments based on economic factors. When the fundamentals are sounding good, risk appetite increases the market is in a bullish tone and tend to buy Aud, Nzd, Gbp,Cad and Euro in that order while selling the usd and yen. On the other hand bad economic news induces risk aversion and there will be a stong sells of Aud,Nzd,Gbp,Cad and Euro while buying Usd, Yen. So by looking at the pairings of the risk apetite currencies to the risk aversion( safe...

Thanks for the complement, most of the things I have learnt about the correlation of pairs is by watching the market. I think you are doing the right thing by watching the charts, for example this afternoon (EST) risk aversion crept in to the market, the dollar has reached support levels on most pairs. The euro is being hammered, however not by the dollar but the pound and thats why the pound is not dropping of so much. Best play is to continue buy the dips of the pound until the 4hr trendline is broken or look for opportunities to fade eur usd rallies.

Another tip I would give you is that the movements of the yen pairs are controlled by Usd Jpy. If the yen is stronger than the dollar do not try buying GJ, EJ or AJ or vice versa.

Secondly if Eurusd and GbpUsd are looking bullish and you do not know which to trade, just open a chart of eur gbp and you will see which is stronger and you will be taking a high probability trade.

By applying this methodology you will know what direction to drive the EA if you are using it or you will know what direction to trade and this would give you more confidence. Cheers.

I would like to state emphatically that the fire bird ea is wonderful and i have results to prove it and I am also using the EA on a life acct i opened for just EAs. The EA will get you in at pullbacks in the direction of the trend and as long as the trend is intact the EA profits. It is your knowledge of knowing when the current trend is completed and thier is a reversal coming up that will determine your success with the EA. Actionpl and samurai may God bless you guys.
