Hi Guys

Good to see, lots of different testing going on.

Now, lets see some new ideas/theories.

I'll start the ball rolling by suggesting that firebird might work better by placing a hedge every time its gets outside the tunnel, instead of a reversal.

If the hedge goes against us then pipsteps kick in.

What do you think? will it solve the trend and news issues?
Hi Mono

Actually I think that may be is not necessary to have this hedging, for 2 reasons :

1) You will go to open a huge number of trades per time, actually Firebird open an average of about 5-7 trades.
2) Already exist a function that should protect from strong trend and this is divergence, but best result is to use it in higher chart time frame (i guess starting from TF30).
Keep in mind that on past August NFP friday when almost all Firebird testing here loose badly, I booked 5 winning trade (+136 pips) that is one of the highest result reached in my testing in a single day trading (just yesterday I achieved a +150 pips in a single day). OK I know, may be it was only a question of lucky but it seems that divergence worked very well in strong trend.

just my two 0.2 pip

has anyone notice that the experts writes account equity every second under the expert tab. my computer has slowed way down since i have added this expert has anyone experience anything similar and how do i shut this off thanks

Yardie's suggestion of more ram will help the slow computer problem. I did not like the way the EA constantly writes account equity because it fills up the experts log and makes it hard to spot problems and other actions quickly. I just commented out the following line of code in the EA
Quote
Print("Account equity = ",AccountEquity());
It is the only line of code with the words account equity in it so it is easy to find with the 'find in files' menu option.

For the guys having problems with the EA. Please go back and read the earlier pages in this thread. You will figure out what you need to do. You need to make sure "Allow Live Trading" is selected and that the Expert Advisor Button on thje menu of MT4 is activated (green).

Yes that's right Nvwine !
I think that it's time to start a separeted thread for fixed version of Firebird V.063G and we can start to call it as Firebird v1.0 with all these little fix about divergence, account equity printing, and so on.
What do you think about this ?

I'm getting more cheerful everyday I run this EA!

I am steering clear of GBPUSD for now but my results on the 30 minute timeframe very much back up what Skyline has been showing.

And for some reason I did not get beat up by NFP.

I'd like to discuss however the best times to start this EA and how often we should perhaps reset it. Lets discuss.....

If you have a low float why would you want to reset it? I am curious to know what is the most positions you and Skyline ever had open and the highest float thus far.

my float ranges between 500 and 4000 USD, but the EA needs the float to work.

I know but you are using Mono's regular settings. I believe the floats are a lot less with Skyline's test.

I got to thinking about resetting the EA after Mono mentioned it awhile back

Seems that maybe after large trends etc that it might be best to restart the EA in order to creat "updated envelopes". Don't know. Just thinking about it.

I am nore interested in the time to actually start the EA. I have several EAs going now, and it seems that depending on when they started they are all doing a little differently. (Everyone of them is POSITIVE however).

I do want to mention that I have 4 tests going now on Firebird G (UNFIXED). One is two weeks old, and the others about 10 days. If I closed them all today, every one would show profit no matter what the float. I think what we are discussing now is best pairs and timeframes, and to what degree we can increase the amount of profit this EA can return.

I am running now mostly on these 5 pairs (unfixed EA). EURUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, AUDUSD, USDJPY.

It depends Yardie, if Cgldsmth is using 1 full lot with 1 pip = 10$ , then his results are quite similar to mine. On other hand my settings are the same as Momo ones, i'm only using different chart timeframe (TF30).
