Yes , exactly every few seconds EA write a row with my equity balance
No. I checked my journal and I don't have entries like that. NOt on Firebird G version anyway.

Here is the exact EA I am running now.

I plan to make it run 24/5. I want to see how it does during NFP should be interesting. But I am using demo now so who knows? Probably wont use live for another 3 to 6 months. I think thats sufficient time to see how the EA performs in all situations.

I think the G version uses the divergence setting of FirebirdD.

Nice statement

In your statement, it quotes : " Firebird Version D" - what version is that, or is it same settings as 63G ?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Traderone, i tried again with same result Another thing that i see on top of chart is 'bad hours' label , i'm using setting as Mono used with openinghour=0 and closinghour=23 i'm wondering why that label is printed. I don't know if GMT = 0 and DST = 0 is right ? Nortfinance broker demo seems to be GMT+3 (i'm at GMT+2).

Are you guys using another EA along with FirebirdG? This may be the problem.

Quoting skyline
Alsup1955 I'm experience the same behaviour , i put EA on 30min EURUSD and GBPUSD with settings 30-300 found in the zip file posted by Mono. No trade starts , only my account equity is logged into Experts tab. I'm using NorthFinance broker.
May be problem is due to some warnings that I receive when i try to compile this EA :

Function "CloseTheseTrades" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "CloseLoosingTrades" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "iFXAnalyser" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "GoalCheck" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "GetSlippage" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file

Someone can post working EA Firebird v63G ? Thanks

I am having pretty much the same results. The float goes up and down I am not worried about it.



Quoting txsundevil
Been running Firebird since Sunday Night on Neuimex Demo Server, currently as of Tuesday Afternoon here in US have (21) closed postions for profit of $540, however the Float is rising now (8) open postions with loss (float of about ($320), seems to be getting larger.

yes yardie, last week float got near 2k then was 120$ yesterday. I'm not quite as disciplined as Mono and am altering the lot size manually every day depending on the size of the float, so reduced to 0.2 for tomorrow.

think this EA could be a winner but need to see what it does with strong trends, I think a lot depends on how far ahead it can get in ranging markets, which are after all 80% of the time.

friday will be very interesting.

I am testing it with 0.1 lots only. I am being very conservative and use .1 lot per 10K. If I go live I will probably do the same as well.

Mono,
With these incredible results, we can start trading with real money using this EA? (i will continue my demo test for a longer time, but i want your opinion)
I would be very cautious, ONLY GAMBLE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.

My testing is not over yet, and there are new test results and settings, that will be posted on the weekend.

If you still want to proceed with a live account account, I suggest you start with micro account and start the EA on a non-news week.

I have started a live micro and its at 44-0, trading 3 pairs, but the float is very high at the moment. I wouldnt call it successful yet.

To get rid of the bad hours, set closinghour=24, so firebird can run 24 hrs.

Those warning are not errors, the compiler is removing functions that are not used.

the words of cauton are wise ones. I am very concerned what would happen in big trends. would only start with micro lots if I go live.

still, it seems one of the best EAs out there right now.

I also have a live micro account, but I'm only trading the GBP/USD. Only up for 4 days and currently 7-0 with 2 floating losses.

What are the best 5-6 pairs to trade this with? Can whoever has used Firebird enough post the pairs that got the best results in order?

Thanks!

PS: Just started testing it live. 6 consecutive profit trades yesterday for $158 trading 3 pairs at 0.1 lots. (5 floating currently 4 in negative)
PPS: I read a lot of postswhere people got bad results backtesting Firebird (even though backtesting isn't reliable anyway) But I did my own backtesting just for the hell of it, and over the last 4 months on the USDCHF it didn't produce one loss. (using Mono's settings) Just wanted to share that as well....

Well, GBP/USD had the most wins, but carried the most float, too. EUR/USD and USD/CAD both perform pretty similarly, with USD/CHF not far behind. Personally, I do not trust the JPY crosses as they seem to perform the worst.

I can concur. Performance so far this week as been awesome about 33 wins and 0 losses with about 300 pips floating loss (so net about 700 pips in 2.5 days).
