I'm in, too

That's really unusual to go 0-5. Maybe just Friday blahs. 4th of July coming up too -- may be a slow start to the week as well.

oops -- I guess I should have just done the math . Still good though. Have a great weekend!

Ouch -- but you should still be ahead 500 pips or so if you're still using 25/50. I shut mine down yesterday about an hour before FOMC. All open trades were left open and all went to profit. I usually shut it down early Friday and not trade, but ...

Did your "Not Safe to Trade" message finally resolve itself, Yardie?

Hendrick, let's say I wanted to exclude a certain time because of a pending news event, let's say at 7 pm, and wanted to stop trading an hour before until an hour after. Would I set TradeFrom1 =0, TradeUntil1 =18 and then TradeFrom2 =20, TradeUntil2 ...

Are you seeing that on Hendrick's H version?

So tradefrom 1 is set at 0 and tradeuntil 1 is at 24. And all the rest are 0, is that right?

Oh, thank you. I didn't even think about the startup folder. I've never used it, so I guess I have a bit of research to do. Thx.

Is there software that can do this?

Are you just using the SafeArea feature on default settings or are you also setting times? I'm anxious to try it but want to test my stop level parameters this week. Do you plan on settings times for FOMC and NFP or are you going to let SafeArea ...

Yes, I know. Right now I'm just testing different stops. I like the 40 pipstep. It's been too quiet to test my stops so far. I haven't tried Hendrick's new EA yet. I was going to close out these this week and start his next week. Did you get it up ...

Thx. I have 3 combo's that are pretty much neck and neck so far this week: TP20 SL120 PS40; TP18 SL42 PS40; TP20 SL80 PS40. Four other versions are a bit behind these three, but it's still early.

Which pairs? — Is everyone testing on just the Major 4? In my latest round of testing Firebird (6 versions all with slightly different parameter sets) I've included EURJPY and USDCAD. So testing 6 pairs all together now. Lately I've been ...

Hendrick, Congrats on this endeavor. This has been a long thread covering many different aspects of Firebird. I commend you for putting it all together and your generosity for sharing. Thank you.

Wiz, I think that's a near brilliant suggestion. I'm still waiting to see the results from those who have added volatility filters in, but I can say the versions I'm running with higher pipsteps are doing quite well in the short term. Now you have ...

Thx, wackena. I am testing various combinations and the higher SL combined with higher pipstep is working well for me too. In addition to the major 4, I'm also testing on USDCAD and EURJPY. We'll see, but I still think Firebird needs a volatility ...

Nice work, Hendrick. I'm anxious to see the results of an added volatility parameter, which is just what Firebird seems to need.

Wiz, Can you post that statement please. I was using 15 and it just entered way too many trades in the big move. I now have versions running with 20, 30 and 40 but I'd like to see what it did the passed 11 days. So you're using 120 as SL and 40 as ...
