Hi,

i am using firebird63....on the eur/usd, gbp/usd and eur/chf charts i am getting bad hours (which stogie got sometime back)....i am not getting this message on the other charts.....i tried reloading the chart and the EA but still the problem persists...can anyone help pls??

Ignored

eur/usd, gbp/usd and eur/chf "Bad Hours" are set in the programme under the "switch(MagicNumber) {" functon. You will see "case" inputs with settings for these 3 currency pairs. The rest of the charts are set using the inputs for OpeningHour and ClosingHour set at the beginning of the programme or by manual settings using Property "Inputs". The "Bad Hours" comment is active when the current time is not between these settings. I don't believe it effects trading activity. It is just a comment to indicate when trading time might be bad.

Good spot. Comment out the call to the "SetupGlobalVariables();" near the beginning of the "Start()" function . (insert a double forward slash at the start of the line i.e. "//" )

[ any how this should be called in init() function unless MT4 is really brain dead, oh how I miss the C++ "const" definition ;-).]

You might want to consider commenting out the "Logwrite()" line just above as well as this logs all the bid's for each tick somewhere.!!!

Thanks for the response.

Does the "void SetupGlobalVariables()" function do the same as Comment out? And, with the "extern int writelog = 0;", does this stop all writelog functons?

Wackena - can see your logical thinking, but all the "void" says is the function call returns a data value which is of type "void". Or put it another way, it is saying that this function returns nothing.

It is explained much better here....

http://forum.mql4.com/3332

see chapter 7 for the functions.

You are spot on with the logwrite flag.

Hey Scott,

Are you letting 63g close its own trades or are you closing them manually?

I am letting it close by itself. I used Hendrick original settings listed here with the 63g model, not the 65 I think that one is insane...

I only traded the USDCHF GBPUSD EURUSD

I've been running the 63G for over a week with the alternate settings and haven't had a trade. SMJ, is that the first trade off of this EA for you?

Today was the first day this week I have had a chance to look at it. so it is the first day I turned it on with the settings listed in my post above.

Ps, I noticed if you have set the ma type to 0 it very seldom makes a trade.

Hi All

I started to forward test Firebird 065tf on 28 May 2006 with a 10.000$ demo account. I used only default settings with one currency pair USD/JPY, as you can see in my statment result are amazing !! +2398$ in about 1 week without any loss (13 consecutive wins).
Question for you : what indicators have I add to MT to be able to see when EA start to buy or sell ?
I will continue to post in this thread about my forward test result with this EA.

see you

Thanks Scott for indicator

TimeFrame used is M30 , only on USD/JPY as you can see in detailed statment. Settings are in attachment, you can import inside EA (however as I said in my previous post these are default settings i didn't change anything)

For last 3 days, I have been testing Firebird v63g on 4 charts eur/usd, gbp/usd, usd/jpy & usd/chf with the attached setting files. In the 1st settings file ,I dropped the Percent down to 0.05 on M1 chart. It has produced consecutive win runs of 54, 58 & 72 before a loss trade. The problem is with wide price shifts. The 1st set of settinggs can produce as many as 14 open trades on 1 chart and with a big change in price in the wrong way can result in a hugh loss that eliminates any gains. I modifed the settings to the 2nd settings file and so far the number of open orders has decreased, with average 3 to 7 total open trades, and, since yesterday at 18:00 GMT, I have had 38 consecutive wins and no losers. It also survived the 12:30 GMT price swing this today.

As stated many times on this thread, Firebird can make money, but it can also lose money if not watched carefully.1st set

So just to clarify - all trades were on M1 and you let it close its own trades?
