Mono - I've ditched the demo that had the margin call and recommenced with 0.1 lots on 8 pairs with your settings. Maybe I should shed a couple of pairs since the equity is 5k.

Are you trading 24hrs? I'm generally switching my system off at 10pm GMT.

Firebird continues on its merry way, halfway into the 6th week @ 237-1

Week1 = 1320 pips
Week2 = 1230
Week3 = 930
Week4 = 1350
Week5 = 1110
Week6 = 630 so far

Currently averaging over 1100 pips per week

I have also started to test Firebird with individual currency configuration and after 4 days, is at 58-0, using 9 currencies.

Now, that is a nice post, Mono -- all the relevant info is there. Thank you. I was always unsure of your settings because you have MA timeframe set to 30, yet you're on 1 minute charts. I don't know why but that just seems like it would cause errors, but obviously it's working.

Swap fees getting big.

I dont know if its unlimited, but i've been with them for a few months now without any problems.

As for the float it ranges between -$500 and -$2500. This is why you need a healthy balance to start with, about $1000 per currency, by my calculation.

Did you ever implement that cci trigger to help with exits when the swap grows too large?

I notice that first swap listed is pretty big. I would hate to have to manually close that and force a loss with such a great record.

Thats the first test using original EA. Should have been closed when swap was at -$12. And a few other too.

But, no intervention what so ever. Lets see where it goes.

Agreed, no intervention is perfoming amazingly well so far. The floating losses can be scary but so far they have just been floating.

i would if I could but - this is no excuse - my demo expired yesterday and I can't access the history.

I use the same settings as mono but on a 30 min chart - EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY.

So far no losses in 2 months. First month yielded just over 40% profit and last month 36%

I am using strategybuilder now so will not have the expiry problem. Sorry I can't do anymore than that.

I switched brokers and I am still having problems with ALL EAs triggering orders (it triggers one or two but not as much as it should according to the charts). I am seeing a few old ticks data errors in my log. I am not sure why I am getting those. Did a google search on the error but came up with nothing. Any MT4 experts here can help me out? I am about to give up.
