Try a different platform. I don't believe coesfx has their platform defaulted to autotrade. I tried their platform a couple months ago and it wouldn't trade either. I had to call them to turn it on.

You did type ts=15 in the original post. You're talking about for the new demo you're starting today, or the version you're already testing?

You're not trading this live are you? This should only be on demo at this point. Hopefully you're on demo, so just leave it running 24/7. I'm running a couple different versions: one is default, another default but with a tighter safearea, and a ...

Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of the EA, closing manually. The original firebird had a tp of 10 and sl of 120 and it closed profitable trades all day long. The pipstep is one of the things that killed it though. Phoenix doesn't have the ...

Wow, 13 losses is not pretty. By the way, Yardie, I was meaning to mention to you the other day about your computer rebooting itself and you missing a few trades overnight -- even though you missed a string of losers it could just as well been ...

That's a "leftover" from Firebird. It calculates the trades differently. There's a doc in the firebird thread somewhere that explains all the old settings. Per Hendrick's request to keep it clean, I'm not going to post it in this thread -- you'll ...

What lot size are you using, and for which pair are you getting that error message? Are you getting any trades at all? And are you creating a template to make sure you're applying the same settings to all charts? Also, how many platforms are you ...

Wackena, have you started forward testing these settings? If so, are you using the trailing feature to lock in profit or waiting for tp 120? I still have a version of G running with a sl of 120 that does pretty well, but never used that high of a tp ...

Overnight results: My version running 18/42 is about even overnight with 11 closed trades, 7 wins, 3 losses and 1 BE. The version running 25/50 is ahead nicely with 7 closed trades, 5 wins and 2 that were reversed, 1 at BE and the other for a small ...

Yes, it shows up in trade tab. You should see a couple trades by now if you're set up correctly.

Well, how long has it been since you've done all this now? I have some open trades, but have not had any new trades initiated in at least two hours. Conditions have to be right. If you've just done all this within the last 2 hours then it's no big ...

You should be fine with the M15. I think there's a couple people here working 30 minute charts (maybe lonespruce?). As far as TP and SL, change it to whatever you want. The default is 18/42, but if you've follwed the Firebird thread you'll see that ...

Yardie, I'm doing the 24 hour as well, although I do like the idea of the tradefrom/tradeuntil feature. Setting the times would be nice, but it seems like the other features should take care of the volatile periods -- the other features being the ...

correction to my post quoted: I am not getting the 131 error on the platform that has the many losers. I am only getting that error on the SBFX platform.

Yardie, wouldn't .5 be lots be too much on a 10k account? You're trading seven pairs, right? Since a surf and a regular can be open at the same time, there's the potential for 14 positions being open.

Yardie, are you trading 24 hours or using the tradefrom/tradeuntil feature?

Well, I am getting plenty of trades here, but I am also getting a lot of 131 errors in the experts tab. It sounds from pervious posts that that may be related to the MM feature. I guess I will start a new test with that feature disabled because that ...

Yes, being off for a few hours would definitely change the results. Here's mine so far.

Mono, can you please post your settings and pairs and whether running 24 hours?
Firebird EA, please test this one, it is one of the greats
