Can someone please address this problem for me. I downloaded the EA from the post on the first page, and I keep getting the same message under the expert tab in my terminal, as this post I quoted.

Also, is the original Firebird v63G traderseven version the same as
Firebird v63H04?

I have been toiling on this all weekwend without avail. CAn someone please help me?

Unfortunately, my forward tests seems to be really useless..

and I just feel like the firebird is not functioning like its supposed to..
I am using the 1.5c version...
I think the one at the front page is 1.5b version?
I havent used that yet..

I want to know if sergen4
had any success with it?

I think its time to adapt...

Thanks

I have been playing with Ronald Raygun's directional grid trader a little.... in conjunction with the cornflower 4h system for entries and exit.(visual purpose only...{read my previous posts})

It is definitely generating some crazy profits...only thing that I am slightly uneasy about is the max. DD...

I will be posting my back test results here soon..

I hope... and I am thinking... this thread is not limited to only Firebird and its derivatives/versions..

Let me know if anybody has any objections..I can move out of your way!!

Thanks..

P.S: GRID TRADER EA is found here...

Here are the trades FOR EURO using Grid trader EA(RONALD RAYGUN'S) (backtest only) as per the screen shots:

11-08 to 11-18 sell:
net profit=2409 dd-1011.5

 11-18 to 11-22 buy
net profit=486 dd-504

 11-23 to 12/01 sell
net profit=2793 dd-678

 12-02 to 12-07 buy
net profit=899 dd-926

 12-17 to 12-22 sell
net profit=591 dd-533

 12-29 to 1-04
buy
net profit=1122 dd-861

 1-05 to 1-12
sell
net profit=1273.5 dd-598

 1-12 to 1-28
buy
net profit=3455.5 dd-1056

TOTAL = APPROX. 13,000 $ IN THESE 3 MONTHS

The max drawdown % for any of these trading period- 1012 $



All numbers are relative to a 10,000 dollar micro account...(LOT SIZE 1 PIP = 1 DOLLAR)

These are back test results and not forward tests..SO.. nobody should try this at home or elsewhere on a live account.

for the people who have missed my firebird experiment:
The rules of entry and exit remain the same but I am just using GRID TRADER EA instead of firebird EA...just because I was not getting the trades like the way I wanted on firebird...meaning I did not have any success with it ...actually, I tried it on a lot of pairs as well..

Anyways..
I am using this grid trader..because the way I had the settings in Firebird was for it to take trades at every 10 pip interval provided it satisfied the entry conditions inside the robot...

But, now..with this grid trader..it doesnt have to satisfy any entry conditions for it to take trades..but just the movement of price up or down in our predefined grid steps or intervals...and it will start doing its job!!

hopefully..the demo-forward testing on this EA should yield good results...lets see!!

Thanks

The method or concept is the same as the one I explained before..
in my earlier posts..
but..I just changed it to grid trader ea.

Attached please find my screen shots of euro 4h chart with the cornflower tpl.

The way I take trades or start my automation of trades (meaning in real time : turn on the grid trader ea), is when the price crosses the cornflower EMA...i.e. EMA 24....
AND at the same time I use this same EMA as my stop loss...
so, my stop loss is being moved along the 24 ema up or down, depending on the direction of the trend..

This is the foundation.
(please understand this is a deviation from the cornflower entry method...
as explained by Lever70

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...00&postcount=1)

I am using cornflower 4H only to monitor my trades visually.

attachments titled eurusd 1, and 2
shows where I enter (Yellow line)
and my exit (red line)..
REMEMBER, cornflower EMA is controlling my entry and exit.


(The blue areas in the screen shots are supposed to be where the trading hit some losses..as you can see, its minimal number of pips provided that the EA is controlled by the 24 ema/cornflower)

This is the screen shot of my forward testing on EURUSD..

I am on sell as per the rules I explained above..to enter the trades...
and the signal given by the ema cross indicator d/l from the first page of this thread...

I modified it to suit my requirements..
exit and enter on the cross of 2 ema (approx. tracing the price)
and 24 ema...

attached find the modified version of the indy...to see the arrows in your chart.

Thanks


p.s: d/l it to your indicator folder

Sorry to hear that, I wonder why ? FireBird 1.5c had very good performance in the backtests . It took me quite a while to figure it out how to set it , (I amNot still sure if MA type should be 0 or 1) . I let it run today Live starting from London open but No activity, no trades so far. So I cant say anything about its performance.

supercat1977,
Thank you for the info about grid trading.
I amNot a grid trader myself ,however I read /studied ,(Williama's Trading system) in a different forum .
I guess,a trader must have a real sufficent (big) account to do it, in order to prevent getting a Margin Call . As I said ,I never tried grid trading on Live account and I dont know much about it and I wont use it in the future . I like doing manual trading .Also Firebird is sleeping, not opening any trades here for me.

Hi sergen4,

I had the same problem with firebird..it was not taking any trades...
and if it did it... was only on specific pairs only..and of course..very inconsistent!!

I understand your apprehension about grid trading...
Its true...that it requires a lot of margin..depending how much gridding levels you want to introduce...(Hence..I tend to use penny/dime lot size)

But..I respect your point of view...

To me...and just my opinion...and mine only...
controlled gridding with appropriate stops is another name for pyramiding of trades...to max. your returns..

also..if this system with grid level=1, it behaves like a normal trend trading system with defined exit and entries..just a thought..

Would definitely love to see results with this system.

I have emailed Ronald Raygun the details about this system..hopefully he can introduce a code with which the exits and entries are mechanical...based on the EMA cross and only after going through a buffer of 20-40 pips (to partially tone down the whipsaw losses)..

Vamos a ver (lets see!!)
how things progress..

Thanks

Hello
Is there a version which could handle 2 digit settings like Gold?
Even if not the fully automated one, the semi autolmated would be even better.
thank you

Hi guys,
Thought I might be of some assistance for those battling to get their EA started ESPECIALLY live, this one runs LIVE on 4 digit broker, it runs withOUT trend line just plug and play, now concerning trail stop, I don't know if runs TS but from what I've seen on demo it doesn't, I'm going to be using this with Parabolic SAR (Check few pages back for that entry/exit), it's got serious dd but hey, end of year you got some $$ in your pocket it will only open 3 trades at time
Hope this helps someone out there battling, it's 1.3b, as i say,just plug and play
