Hi there,

I would like to get an alert and email, just seconds after the EA (firebird v63G) takes a new trade and also when it is closing an excisting trade. Is that possible to put into the excisting EA?

ANy input would be highly appriciated,

FT

I noticed your lot size is constantly changing,
Are you manually doing that, if no, how is that happening, is that automatic with the version of firebird you have?
Oh and what timeframe are you using.

thanks

Its record is at 656-9 with floats at about -$3600.

It currently has 89 positions open, but none are near stoploss.

I use 63G, "Firebird 30-300" doesn't have the divergence fix, but "Ind" does.

The settings are in the zip.

I began testing beginning of this week FB version 1.0a with Mono settings as indicated in first post, and on 1 min chart.
So far 58 trades, all won, but equity is still in loss $4763 and I started with $5000.
Monday, I had more than $1000 loss in equity when I checked it i nthe morning.

Maybe, results are smoother with 30 min charts ?
Also, my FB is heavily short on dollar, but some people here, like Mono, noticed a good hedging between different pairs.
I wonder if there is a way to know at any moment the total exposure of the EA for each currency. If we can, we may be able perhaps to let the EA only open trades in order to reduce the exposure in the same currency.
My apologizes if this has already been discussed before.

PS: for some reason, it does not let me attach my result file

Hey folks,

I just wanted to give one final update before I leave for a 25 day vacation.
I almost don't want to go because I want to put Firebird to my live account asap
I'm using v63G with the default settings. The results have been amazing. Not a single loss in almost 3 weeks on 4 pairs (87-0). Float is nice and low.
Keep up the good work while I'm away.

Take care

are there any advantageous or disadvantegous to trading firebird with correlated currency pairs?

USD/JPY and the EUR/USD ?

USD/CHF and AUD/USD ?

Trading so that there the same number of USD on left side of pair and right side of pair.

thoughts?

If i had an account set up with 300 bucks mini account but trading with 0.1 lots...

i can trade 3 pairs correct?

I dont think there is any adv or disadv. What I do know is that the perfect pair is USDCHF. In the 3 months of testing, I have not had a loss with this pair (knock on wood). And it has a high turnerover rate.

No advantage, just that FXDD doen't have micro accounts. And yes $300 = 3 pairs.

Yes, you could trade 0.3 lots on just one currency with $300.

I suggest you do a bit of homework, and go though everybody's statement, before making a decision.
