I'm varying the lot size manually depending on the float.

absolutely, however the losses were mostly incurred by the BOE and NFP days last week with the cable "surprise". My impression is that firebird carries a probability of profitable trades in excess of losing trades so that the more trades it carries ...

yardie, if you don't mind me asking, what is your reasoning behind these changes? I think I'll trial a new demo next week closing all trades every day with MONO's settings for each pair.

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

Mono - thanks for the settings and I'm very excited about your new EA trial. this last few days has been excellent for firebird and I think I'll keep going with M1 10 pairs but shut it down at end of month.

I think the next step in the development of this EA will be to set individual settings for each pair, along with TFs and hours traded. I await to hear about Mono's settings trial.

does the code tailored to individual pairs override my inputs on the trading platform?

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

I think Mono's earlier suggestion of closing all trades at the end of the month and then starting again after the first week may be a good option.

I'll do the same when I get some cash. Will stick with TF M1 and 63G. haven't decided on cable yet though. All losses eradicated today.

timber on cable. shot in the arm for firebird. it'll probably open loads of USD shorts now!

Possible to add more currency pairs/symbols?

Thanks Wackena - I'm going to test with M15 your firebirdTS on USDCHF, AUDUSD, EURUSD and USDCAD. why did you change MA to 15?

things would have been al lot better if BOE hadn't surprised us last week.

pretty sure it can. yardie, with a breakeven function. I've seen it in other EAs. I'm not a programmer though. isn't it part of phoenix?

91 pips in 5 mins. happy days.

FOMC trade

Wow, firebird ate FOMC for breakfast (or late supper here in the UK)!

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

Firebird has become very USD-long and like it or not the FOMC today could make or break recent performance. An ideal tactic in retrospect would have been to close all positions last tuesday and wait until tomorrow to re-start. In effect, running ...

that's interesting, hadn't seen that before. We must also remember that on thursday the BOE UNEXPECTEDLY RAISED RATES. Looking at my trades most of th losses would not have occured from the NFP alone. In short, this was an atypical couple of days ...

have 3 pages of posts disappeared? firebird was roasted today by NFP. All profit wiped out. Lesson is not to trade the week of NFP

the words of cauton are wise ones. I am very concerned what would happen in big trends. would only start with micro lots if I go live. still, it seems one of the best EAs out there right now.

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

yes yardie, last week float got near 2k then was 120$ yesterday. I'm not quite as disciplined as Mono and am altering the lot size manually every day depending on the size of the float, so reduced to 0.2 for tomorrow. think this EA could be a winner ...
