isn't that the "crazy" version of FB (v65tf) that made huge profits then blew up just as fast?

agreed. Not hit any SL yet but margin is precarious. USD is at an outer fib level now so hopefully we'll get a reversal on monday. these massive slides are uncommon, the market ranges 80% of the time. lesson: use smaller lots and higher pipstep!

I'm only trading eurusd audusd usdchf and usdcad but still got hammered by todays move. My profit on live account is almost double after 2 weeks but float is now near 40% and margin level about 150%. I fear a margin call is on its way.

EURUSD bouncing nicely off fib on vegas 1HR chart, hopefully will retrace to the tunnel just above 1.28. Good long opportunity IMO.

mmmmm - my comment about hedging with 63G was along these lines, the EA setting up multiple trades either side of the price. I've been using percent 0.05 so maybe this variable is key, since a smaller rtetrace will activate the EA to place the ...

My tests are suggesting that FB eventually hedges itself by surrounding the price with trades long and short.

we need a good indicator of when a currency pair is moving from a ranging to a trending market, perhaps williams%. then we could select the EA for only the ranging pairs. or maybe just using our eyes and drawing higher highs and lower lows. but it's ...

thanks. I'm narrowing my live FB to USDCHF. EURUSD and GBPUSD today, using the fixed version. Account up about 60% in one week so far. still grappling with what to do in a trending market. I think there should be enough daily ranges for FB to do OK ...

changed my 63G to the fixed version but getting an annoying account equity readout on every tick on the experts tab. Anyone know how I get rid of this?

my live FB cleaning up again today thanks to chicago PMI, but I'm going to close all trades and shut it down before bernanke at 5.30, and restart next monday.

Over time, the logic of Firebird should prevail - that a price will deviate toward the mean after a spike. FB needs to win 10 for every 1 loss to make a profit. My first demo (now just over a month old) is 308-7. the logic seems to be skewing things ...

why is my live version (63G) opening far fewer trades than the equivalent demo? also - is there any early data suggesting a difference in MA30 to MA15?

I just shut down my PC but all the open trades are left on the broker's server. there's so many variables we could test in this EA, and a decent test should be a month (at least).
