Why - its making tons of money!

Just curious as to what pairs you are using, because i had this EA open all day and I didn't get a single trade. Are you using the time contraints therefore only trading at a certain time of day - or are you letting it trade 24 hours?

Are your settings the same as those you previously posted here?

Thanks again,
lonespruce.

Can someone describe how this system works and post a way to do it manually?

Looks great on paper but I don't want to give my account over to a machine... perhaps I'm a bit old school

Also, when I downloaded it it wouldn't work on my MT4, keeps saying "firebird...blah blah... removed". Am I doing something wrong?

If you open the EA in metaeditor and read through the script there is a description of the trading rules that you could follow manually.

As far as it not working - open it in metaeditor and hit the "compile" button at the top and then save as whatever you want to call it.

That should make it work - other wise - I don't know how to help as I'm a relative noob with MT4.

Hopefully thats of some help.

Settings still default - so the settings that you uploaded are the ones that were used for those trades?

I've had this EA open for the last three days on a StrategyBuilderFX feed and it has only produced 3 trades.

I hate to be a pain in the ass but... could you please uploade your settings again, and once again clarify the time frame you are using.

Also - are you closing these trades manually? Your profits are relatively small per trade as the default target profit is 160pips - or is this simply the trailing stop getting hit?

Thanks again Hendrick and sorry to be such a pain in your ass.

Installed the EA on my demo account. Hendrick - How did you not get margin called with all of those trades? Even at .5 lot x 513 trades, you're well over $7500 in margin.

Hi Ionspruce,

No problem. Here are the settings. As you can see these are different than the ones I posted before. I've tried to adjust the settings in order to decrease the total amount of trades. That didn't worked out so I'm now using the settings which goes with this message. And yes I'm closing trades by hand (that's a lot of work, because there are so many trades to close!).

Hi AlphaPip,

First day I saw my margin going down to -750. I don't know why there was no margin call. Maybe they don't do this with demo-accounts?

Seems weird cause those are the same settings I've been using and I'm not getting any trades. I wonder why this is?

I've also started to use the interbankfx demo feed so that its the same as you - to see if i get the same results.

Hopefully I will today.

Hendrick,

could you do me a favour and send me a screen shot with a usdjpy chart and the entries generated by this EA - I'm at a loss to figure out why I'm not getting signals.

Thanks Hendrick,

Thats really strange because I have not had any trades produced by this EA in the last 2 days.

I noticed that your chart said "Firebird v065tfORIGINAL" - is just the name you saved it under - as mine says "Firebird v065tf" - just want to make sure we have the same ones.

Other than that I can't see why mine is not generating trades. I do have it set to make live trades - but compared to the high number that you are getting - I'm not getting any.

Does anyone have any ideas?

It's the same EA. I only renamed it. I just don't understand why the EA in your case didn't generate the trades. Are there any error-messages under the tab "Journal" or "Experts"?

Hey Hendrick do you think you can give me some insight on what this system is, what it does and how to use it, if it is not too much trouble, just checking out your screen shots make this thing look really good and I would be interested in using it. Thanks

No, there are no error messages at all - I don't understand it myself. What time are your trades in your statement listed - GMT or EST??

I'm at a loss to determine the lack of trades here on my charts.

Hi,

As I understood the EA is watching for spikes. After every spike there will be a correction (most of the time!) and thats the moment the EA hops in. I found a document that gives some explanation about the EA and the settings. Hope this helps!

I'm living in Europe so it is GMT. Who is your broker for your demo-account? (so I can test a demo with them myself).
