back testing this it preforms really well, double your money fast if you are trading a full lot. only thing i noticed is when you loose your *really* loose.


on a .1 lot the average loss was 2000$ !!

but then again there isnt many losses , they just save them up for ya

Hi Witchazel!

If this one is to wild for you, you should try Firebird version 63G. This one is going slow but steady! In the zip-file you will find my statement, the EA and the settings that I use. Hope you can use it.

Close all your charts. Open just one chart (30M) and attach the EA. Have you set MA_Timeframe=30 in your EA?

After researching abit i think it has less losses then other systems, it just hits you at one time if you could survive the first 2 trades you would be set. Think i will start forward testing this one

Hey Hendrick,

I noticed that you were using InterbankFX for your test so I did the same as to make sure that I was getting the same feed.

Initially I was using StrategyBuilderFX.

I've tried so many EA's and they all turned out to be loosers. This is the first one thats making me money. And yes, I know that it could turn the other way in the future, but let's wait and see. Hope you will show us your results in the coming weeks. I wish you a lots of success!

Hi Hendrick,

So after running both of them, which version do you like best?

Thanks Scott

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!).

I found a nice indicator that draws the bands for this EA. It is not part of the EA it is an indicator, so it goes in the indicators folder and not the experts folder...

It just shows what the EA is doing, on the chart.

I set the percent to 0.3 just as the EA is set.

Some functions are not used in the code of this EA. Don't pay attention to these messages. Firebird will work OK.

Can someone pls tell me why the close of the trades are done manually?

and also, would this system work in real life i.e. with a USD 50.000 account trading 0.5 lots?

Anyone tried it live so farr??

Thanks,

Hi,

Backtesting with MT4 is a waste of time. The only way to test an EA in MT4 is to put it on a demo-account and let it run.

Stogie: seen this once during the day on one of the charts. Seems like a bug. If you close the chart, open a new one and reattach the EA it should be working fine (I hope).
