Hey everyone, Here are my live results for the last 2 weeks of testing. 1m TF, default settings (30-300-30). Only 4 pairs: EURUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, AUDUSD for now. Record of 67-0.

Firebird EA - fixed version -

I just read up a little bit about having your account "flagged". Like mentioned above this mostly happens to scalpers because their trades can last less than 1 minute. So the bank that your broker uses does not like loaning its money for you to ...

Can i ask a quick question regarding EAs, maybe some of you have some insight? I always hear people talking about a broker will never allow an EA account to be successfull etc. So if you have an EA that's really profitable they'll sabotage you ...

This is all great news guys. Thanks to everyone for sharing and testing this beautiful EA out. Last I checked this morning on my test, I had banked about $1,700 with a float of -$180 over the last 2 weeks. This is trading 0.1 lots on 4 pairs - ...

Hey Jim and everyone else, Thanks to every person who has contributed to this thread and to the success of the PF in any way. It's really great what you guys have accomplished. To think it all started from a thread in a public forum..... Jim I ...

I'm just curious, which timeframe did you backtest this on? I'm sure there were significant losses regardless what timeframe was used, but I wonder if the losses would be much less if using 15min or 30 instead of the 1 min which is little more ...

I agree. A SL50 is way too small for this system. A 300 pip SL might not be necessary for certain pairs that don't as much but at least 200 is needed I think. I had 3 cable losers and all were on BOE and NFP. Other than those losses I haven't had a ...

Hey everyone, I finally finished going over the whole thread from the start. Quick question. What are the best times to trade this system? Do most signals happen during the London & US sessions? For someone who lives in the US EST time zone, and ...

New profitable System - Sidus

Yeah, I agree. I'm also going to be starting with micro lots. I'm willing to lose a few hundred bucks (lets hope not) in the name of forward testing. And if all the other testing until now is any indication we should end up on the winning side ...

Hey Skyline, I'm not that familiar with MT4 code, so are you saying that the code is overriding the setting so that these currency pairs are always traded on the 30min TF? Or are you saying that if you set them to the 30M then the other settings are ...

The other thing I noticed in Skyline's statement is that there's only one trade in the GBPUSD (in over a week of trading). That's really unusual as well for that pair. Going back to the trailing stop idea, I was going to bring up that point. I think ...

Has anyone here tried testing Firebird with a higher TP? just slightly. I did some testing of my own on the EURUSD only so far, using a TP of 35 and it got the exact same number of wins as with the 30pip TP. Those additional 5 pips worked out to ...

I agree. It's definitely more reliable I guess. Wackena had good results on the 15min TF with only 1 loss on the GBPUSD and you had no losses using 30min. (I had 3 losses on the GBPUSD using 1m) There are probably less trades opened on the larger ...

What TP, SL, and StepPip values are you using? And which pairs are you trading? Thanks It might a good idea to switch to 30min instead of 1min TF (or 15min like Wackena). Especially if Skyline had no losses during last week (in which I think ...

I'd say a combination of backtesting and forward testing is the best thing to do. Forward testing is the more reliable way to test so if you can include some backtesting (like you already have) then I'd say you're covered I guess. So when are you ...

The HOLY GRAIL

All of my losses that came last Friday were on the GBPUSD (as well as the biggest negative floaters). Obviously a lot of my winners were on the GBPUSD. But what I'm going to look at my results if I was to remove the GBPUSD from the pairs I trade. I ...

Yeah I got killed today as well. I think leaving it to run with the 30-300 settings isn't a good idea during NFP. You could get lucky once and while but I don't think it's worth the risk. After today's events I think we should come up with a method ...

What are the best 5-6 pairs to trade this with? Can whoever has used Firebird enough post the pairs that got the best results in order? Thanks! PS: Just started testing it live. 6 consecutive profit trades yesterday for $158 trading 3 pairs at 0.1 ...
