I think we should move this forward testing...forward. Another question that needs answering is the MA TF and the percent value. My live trial is using v63G with 0.05 and doing nicely with 25-0 trades in 2.5 days. Count me in for one of the trials ...

Just an observation, but FB tends to make a reversal trade after a spike has retraced by about 10 pips. I wonder whether it would be worth lowering the percentage to try to get in earlier on the retrace and book the pips earlier. anyone tried this? ...

Is there a fixed version yet of 1.0b that hedges long AND short?

Floatastic!

anyone else getting loaded down by USDCAD? My float is massive now and I've halted any more trades hoping to let it settle. This may be one of those times that trades should all be closed, but I'm reluctant to turn a 15k profit into a 5k one.

Mono - loving your work!

my v63G demo with 30-300-30 now at 4 weeks. Big float now but I've toned down the lot size to compensate and most of the pairs are well hedged by the EA. The TP trades are increasing everyday (about 25 closed today). If the margin gets below 200% my ...

thanks RAven, The firebird world has certainly exploded in the last few days. All noobs have a duty to read through the original thread, to understand the code (it's not too complex) and look at the forward testing that has been done by Mono, ...

IBFX using the original v63G with 30-300-30 settings. Nothing too fancy. Will avoid JPY crosses but think will keep cable for now since is providing a lot of good trades.

i've been manually adjusting lot sizes depending on margin available. will go live this week with mini.

yes, but not overnight. the losses were largely due to the BOE/NFP double whammy.

stricko - I think clever Wackena programmed 1.0c to auto-calculate TP/SL/PS levels so that will be why.

Firebird EA - fixed version -

as time goes on with my original demo the EA is effectively setting up hedge trades without the need for hedge code. The float is up to 4-5k but the profits are rolling in more (about 10-15/day) as a result, with both long and short trades ...

I'm having a similar problem with IBFX demos. Whenever I switch one back on it says invalid account.

EAs and losing connection

This would be great if it's a buy order say 10 pips in the opposing direction, thus reducing the risk of a calamity if the price just keeps dropping (9/11 or the like that could blow the account). However, wouldn't firebird place the order anyway ...

Wackena - how about including the hedging features of 1.0b into 1.0c. You could call it...errmmmmm....1.0d.

this is a great idea. Programmers?

thanks yardie I think it was because I'd compiled the EA again with a 1.0 lots instead of 0.1 (the IBFX demo is apparently a micro so the margin usage is a bit unrealistic with 0.1microlots). there's a good discussion about being flagged by banks on ...

Firebird EA, please test this one, it is one of the greats

stupid question coming up: I've tried setting all the various TP/SL/PS levels on each pair in a nw demo, and saved each setting as a new .set file. However the EA seems to go back to the 30-300-30 settings for every pair. what am I doing wrong here? ...
