Hey Henrdick,


The results seem identical to me except for more profits to Phoenix because of the slight higher lots sizes. Am I missing something? By the way FirebirdG handles the big drop in the majors against the US today very good. The safearea is definitely an asset in volatile times. What will be the differences between FirebirdG and the upcoming Phoenix apart from the money management?

Hi Yardie,

If everything goes well I will post Phoenix this weekend and will explain how Phoenix is protecting itself during a volatile market. Will be fun!

Has anyone noticed a "Dead Zone" for Firebird? I had 16 trades on Monday and Tuesday, but 0 in the last 8 hours. This seems to happen on a weekly basis, and typically around the middle of the week.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same.

Nope I have had 3 trades opened within the last few hours and 12 open and closed within the last 24 hours.

I've been going over my Account History, and it appears to happen immediately after a reboot, or after I close and reopen a chart. I'm thinking that when I reopen it, prices are outside of the Divergence envelope. So, it must wait until prices re-enter the envelope, and breaks it a second time to enter a position.

For example, I rebooted this morning while prices were outside of the envelope. It has not returned to it in the last 10 hours, therefore, I must wait until it does.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Well it opened a SELL GBPUSD position for me about an hour ago. I assume it would have done the same for you as well.

Hi,

i am a bit confused abt the setting in the 63H version, the setting :
"trade until 3=10".....Can anybody give me details abt this? I mean when trade from 1 is 0-24 i should trade 24 hrs a day, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

You should remove the 10 and put zero instead.

Firebird is havign a rough week this week. I am running 22 wins and 14 losses so far. But with my new settings, I am only down 30 pips on the week so far. Biggest pair loser is USDCHF (-70 pips). Biggest gainer is GBPUSD (+40 pips).

It was a bit rough today. For the week, I'm 27 and 4. If I was doing this live, I think I'd still shut it down prior to a news release that forexfactory has flagged with a red icon.

I know what you mean. But I want to see how it performs in all conditions. The orders that were lost today were actually opened before today's news. Remember the latest version has a safearea built in (which was activated during the news today). I want to see how it performs in all conditions before I take it live. Right now I am 24 wins and 14 losses for the week, Thats about (-5 pips) so far this week. I am contented with this. I dont expect every week to be positive.

Hi Guys

Approaching the end of week 3 of testing and good old firebird has impressed me. 119 wins with 1 loss. As of Monday(Sunday for some) I'll be increasing the lot size. Floating position continue to range from -$600 to -$1500 depending, so I'm going to keep track of when the range is @ High or Low range with the possibility of closing Floating trades greater the -100 pips, to maximise profits.

Loss/Losses are expected with the release of US data today.

Anyway, I'll keep this test going until week 8 is complete and if results remain on par, I will place it in live.

My USDCHF trades are still open - I want this thing to go somewhere eventually.

Otherwise, it's doing really well for an EA.

I've closed my EA for the week. With NF tomorrow, I don't want to take the chance of a losing run. For the week, I'm 20-1 with 3 positions still open. So during my 3 week test, I'm 18-0, 21-3, and 20-1. I'll resume on Monday.

Happy Trading!

Is this a live account? because NF could be in your favour.
