sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009This will probably sound strange but it was just a gut feeling that something was not right. They seemed more concerned with pushing users to sell more copies with their silly affiliate contests, then they were in making sure the system stays ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009That is true, I guess I should have been more clear, the V63H04 with default settings of TP=18, SL=42 fails miserably. You predicted this earlier...good call.

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009Samurai I understand that completely, always have, thats exactly why I returned the Fap Turbo, nothing is that easy or simple it is bound to crash eventually. What I dont understand is if an EA fails that miserably on the backtest right off the bat ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009Thanks Samurai, one thing I was wondering, when I look at my daily EurUsd it seems as though Jan 12 - 15 2009 (I am assuming you meant 2009 and not 2008) is a clear downtrend. Was that just a typo on your post? Another thing I am wondering why would ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009LOL, just did a 1 year back test much different story. The EA basically broke even. It was just that the last 3 months were ideal conditions. 2 year backtest EA lost 40% of capital first year and broke even by end of second year. This EA obviously ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009Another update, your probably already aware but the 5min was more profitable than the 15 min for the V63G for my 3 month backtest. I did have another question Samurai. In my 3 month back test for EurUsd using the V63G I found that it only had about ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009Backtesting — Hey Samurai, well I did a little backtesting and here is what I found. Over a three month period using EurUsd and 0.1 lots the V63G with TP=50, SL= 300 made about a 29% gain. The EA I am using (V63H04) with TP=18 and SL = 42 with ...

sergiel replied Mar 15, 2009The answer to the first section of your question I just keep them all on default, except for lotsize that depends on your account size. For a $3K demo account I am using a 0.1 lot size. And for the second part of your question refer to the file I ...

sergiel replied Mar 14, 2009Actually I tried to do a backtest in MT4 yesterday but wouldn't work for some reason. I tried it on a fairly short period (3 months) so not sure what the problem is. How do you backtest, is there another program you use or another website where you ...

sergiel replied Mar 14, 2009Sure Shogun, it is Firebird V63H04 and can be found here: url I have only traded with it for one day, as I just came across it on Thursday evening while doing some research on Maestro. However with my very, very limited test results so far not too ...

sergiel replied Mar 14, 2009Thanks guys, Yes Shogun, I am running the V63H04, and the V63H04-TS versions. These versions run much differently then the one you are using. This version uses a default: TP = 18, SL = 42, and Pip Step = 40. The TS version also uses a Trailing Stop ...
