That's pretty impressvie. You're running this on 30 min charts? -$2200 float is pretty big though trading just .10 or .20 contracts. I have to tell you though, a couple months ago I was testing with a large stop as well. We hit 2 hard trending days ...

Don't know. Everybody's trading different pairs, might be part of it. Some trading 24 hours, some time filters. Some will trade tomorrow (Friday), other won't.

Most of the wins are trailing stop wins. In fact, only two of the wins went to full profit. The TS is working good and moving up nicely to lock in profit. My TS is set to 18, but I belive there's a few cases where it moved up more than once. In ...

No, not all of them. Just set TradeFrom1 to 0 and TradeUntil1 to 24. All the rest get 0.

error 4109 is "trade not allowed". Is this the only pair you're getting the message on? Have other orders opened fine? And I notice your time filters are set. Change them to trade 24 hours and start there.

The 60/55 produced the 17/3. CloseSignal is set to false on that version.

I have a version running the 60/55. It produced the results I mentiond in #426.

That is odd. As I write this message, I have 4 open trades in v2.1. Three are in profit and one is about BE. Two of them are within 10 pips of hitting their trailing stop.

No, I didn't mean each open trade is 500. Each open trade is positive -- the total float is/was 500. Using default settings on v2.1

Geat couple days for Phoenix. In the last two days my v1.1 is 25/2. My v2.1 has closed 17/3 with 5 open trades. Each of the open trades is positive with a float of approx + 500 pips. Looking good.

Yes, I agree with the quote. I've been watching it closely and that seems to be how it's working.

Well, I like the idea of including the trailing stop. Are you going to be using safearea, safepipsminutes/distancel? Trading 24hrs? I'm sure you'll get a lot of wins. With such a large sl, what did you decide about using closesignal? I'll definitely ...

That's all your supposed to have with the indicator, one red and one blue line. It's just a visual indicator that shows what the Firebird EA is doing. If you're looking for the EA that's a different download and there are a few versions floating ...

Tradeigel, I know it's for rounding, but at some point it should raise my lot size above .50 lots for the excess free margin in my account. What I'm sayng is that I haven't see it do that yet. MM is set to true and RoundUpLots is set to true. I ...

- BenQ replied Jul 18, 2006
Great job, Hendrick, thank you. What are you doing with MM on this version? I thought it was working in v1 and changing lot sizes. But in v2 you added the round up feature. All my v2 trades are at .50 lots. It doesn't appear to be changing lot ...

And also make sure the percent is not set too high, otherwise it will be outside the visible range on your chart.

You have to remember that v2 is still operating wide open. In other words, the safe features are set quite high just for these initial testing purposes. If SafeArea, for example, had been set to its usual setting of 40/-40 or a bit tighter, the ...
