yeah it was more of a "what if" kind of idea.

truthfully spreading the risk around in different currency pairs seems safer.

i have literally looked at every posting of everyones statement and am still amazed after reading the original 70 page postings and this thread.

can you explain why you are using the v63g version versus the v1.0?

Thanks!

I dont want to switch EA's whilst testing is on going. (But, they should be the same).

Hello mono,

I noticed that you have 2 more losses on your original 30-300 testing. Have you tried to "mentally" enter 6 lots trade with 10PIP at that time of stoploss?? I think I looked at the chart, it should be working on both instances.

However I still have problem to code it into the firebird so can't put that idea into play.

wish everyone has success with their firebird.

PM me and I'll tell you how to go about it. I haven't got time to code it.

BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING LIVE MAJOR NEWS IS COMING NEXT WEEK.
Hi mono, what is your advise before newsrelease?
1. Shut down the EA.
2. Let the EA run.
3. Exit all positions and run EA again after major news.
4.....

I hope you can help because you have been testing firebird for over 2 months now.

No advantage, just that FXDD doen't have micro accounts. And yes $300 = 3 pairs.
I am running tests on both brokers and the weird thing is that IBFX has better results even that the spread is higher!
Maybe 2 weeks of testing doesn't give enough accuracy. But in the back of my head I am already thinking that maybe in this case, pay more spread is better.

Profitable tradings!

Hi

Ive been testing 1c out, with great results,
One thing I noticed, the only pair it has changed the 30,300,30 settings on is euro, it changed it to 22,220,11, all other pairs, about 6 of them, all stayed on 30,300,30, as I read 1c changes this settings automatically, i figured it's a bit odd, anyone know what I might be doing wrong.

I guess I could just manually change it if I wanted to.

Any comments thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

Well, I'm working on a Firebird EA that should handle news releases (just finding time to complete it is the problem). Ideally I would like to finish it before next weeks open so I could forward test.

If its a live account and your happy where its at, shut it down before next weeks open (just in case) and restart after NFP or FORMC statement.

If its a demo account then it really doesn't matter. Its just a test.

I have been testing Firebird along with you guys using various settings. Some to verify others results, some to see some new ones.

I wanted to share the results I have gotten so far.

This test uses Mono's individual settings (included) on the M1 chart for 9 pairs. I did mess up at first and made some trades manually in the wrong account before I engaged Firebird, but the losses were only around $30. I have removed those from the results.

I also had the settings at .1 lot for the first few trades as you can see before I changed it to .05.

Luckily, Firebird still impressed or I wouldn't post all of these blunders! Close to a 50% return in only 9 days with a 142-1 ratio seems to somehow make it all better.

MOno why dont you contact Wackena via PM? Maybe he can help you put that news Firebird together. He has been making some great contributions to Firebirds development thus far.

Anyhow I for one am looking forward to the news next week to see how my Firebird tests go. I want to make sure that when I go live I can leave it running with confidence. Since I am running the hedged version, it should really matter which way the market goes next week .

Yeah, I've talked to him, and like me, he is busy at the moment, so when either of us get a chance we'll try to complete it.

For the second test, I only used the 4 majors and the original 30-300 settings. As with the other test, divergence was also fixed here.

Not one to disappoint, I also goofed again near the beginning. That single trade for 1.00 lot, was made manually. I'm still in the "let's try this" phase, and wasn't really thinking about my actions were skewing my test results, I just wanted to play. I promise, I won't be so haphazard in the rest of my experiments.

56 wins, no losses in 10 days. Over a 50% return. Though, according to Mono's analysis, trading 4 pairs with $3000 was too risky. Just got lucky this time.

Mono, to verify, the Firdbird Ind.zip setting you're using are the ones with pipstep set at 50% of the TP, correct?

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

what is your timeframe on chart?

This is very impressive for 4 pairs and the float is not only small but positive. It seems using a few pairs is the way to go to cut down on the float. My float in my test has been much better since I got rid of 5 slow moving pairs 2 days ago.
