cgldsmth replied Nov 14, 20061Trader2 - many thanks. I'll start forward testing it today. Here's my last 3 weeks since starting vb2 (hedge) live with IBFX mini. I've moving to a massive stoploss and lower lot size, along with pipstep 35 to protect from becoming massively ...

cgldsmth replied Nov 10, 2006as always, doing very well in ranging markets but can be killed in trends. Must avoid over-leveraging.

cgldsmth replied Nov 2, 2006I wouldn't be surprised if they revise last months revision back up to 120k or thereabouts. The NFP is in danger of losing all credibility.
NFP and rumors around

cgldsmth replied Nov 2, 2006I'll second all of that. Glenn5t - maybe you should forward the offensive PMs to the thread moderator and get the losers banned.

cgldsmth replied Oct 11, 2006i stopped FB from enetering NEW trades 3 days before NFP but left open trades going - that's what killed it. Was using the hedge version so had 10 either side of price. Was also over-leveraged due to reckless enthusiasm. now converted to H04-TSMM ...

cgldsmth replied Oct 11, 2006LOL! I was 100% up on equity on the franc before NFP, now 90% down. Would have all been avoided if i'd stuck to the rules and closed it all down last wednesday. an expensive lesson.

Strongest Short Signal

cgldsmth replied Oct 8, 2006me and you both - I'm still not sure FB can cope with strong trends, unless you have a big account or very small lots with a SL of 500 or more. I've got 15 short trades on USDCHF about 40 pips away from a margin call.
Firebird EA, please test this one, it is one of the greats

cgldsmth replied Oct 8, 2006well my Firebird has about 15 shorts on the USDCHF so I hope you're right! hasn't it broke past a monthly high though? And don't you think fundamentals will prevail next week, or is this pair more resistant to NFP-type uphievals compared to cable ...
