Firebird which I tested is on this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page15 and most recent from this version is this one https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page17

Most recent Firebird is Phoenix EA https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/trading_systems (proven to be a profitable for some pairs). I am thinking to start forward test some versions of Phoenix EA (instead of old Firebird).

 

roger that boss

thanks for quick reply, very appreciate it.

BTW what is the fundamental difference between FireBird and PHOENIX.

 

Don't remember sorry.

Phoenix was coded for our forum (Phoenix is based on Firebird), it is more safe and there are the section on the forum based on this EA. Besides this Phoenix EA participated in Metaquotes contest 2 years ago with very good results.

Firebird is very old classical well-known EA which I tested many year ago before our forum was created.

When I will forward test Phoenix so I will try to understand the differencies and I will post here of course. Author of Phoenix EA is Hendrick and he is a member of elite section.

 

Phoenix

I'm not so sure about PHOENIX, perhaps FireBird is more stable and proven to give good result.

Could you give me good setting for FireBird for micro account. I can go with 200USD for start.

Thanks in advance

ag.forex,

I am verry sorry: I am completely out during the weekend: I am making the statements for elite section, doing preparation of the servers for the next week (we are having 3 PCs located in the US right now) and doing our forex tsd news calendar. No time competely.

I will try to give some review about all known Firebird version but on Monday only (because I forward tested most of them).

 

All the statements were updated already. Read this thread to know where from https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/174416

Please find the statements of Firebird attached.

And I just checked Firebird EA for mini account (0.01 lot size). As I found, the Firebirs is mini account frendly EA. So, you can change lot size from 0.1 to 0.01 and EA will trade 0.01 lot size.

I just checked the version I am testing https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page15 :

- place Firebird v0.65.mq4 to /experts folder (for example C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\experts);

- unzip this file m30.zip using Winzip or Winrar https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173397/page11

- place file from m30.zip to preset folder (for example:

For EAs trading: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\experts\presets

For EAs backtesting: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\tester)

- during the attaching EA to the chart, or during the backtesting press "Load" and download preset file (preset file is just the settings of the EA):

Change 0.1 lot size to 0.01. It will work. I tried now by backtesting.

You may use it with USDJPY, M30 timeframe.

If you want to have the version with timefilter (to trade in particular time and to not to trade in particular time) so use this one https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page17 (use preset file from othe other post - same one - and change lot size to 0.01).

micro account

I will use "www.masterforex.org".

when using their "CENT" account, the smallest order would be "0.1" lot. where each PIPS = 1 cent.

How to best setup FIREBIRD for this.

Thanks

AG

 

I tested Firebird v0.65 EA with the following settinng:

settings https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page15

timeframe https://www.mql5.com/en/forum

0.1 lot size.

More information you will find on this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/176044/page2

I stopped testing Firebird v0.65 EA and may be I will start testing next Firebird v3.2 version.

It is on this page https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/174234

Or some other version ... there are a lot of versions of this EAs but I think that Firebird v3.2 EA was more discussed.

I will try to use same settings with 0.65 where possible.

Or may be interesting to compare those 2 versions so I may test them both.

If I start so I will post the settings of course (next week).

 

How often does this EA trade? I'm running it v3.1 on EURUSD and USDJPY on M30 timeframe. I left it running overnight but no trades. It does fine in backtests, over 500 trades in a 1 month period on both pairs.

It has the smiley face in the corner so I know its working

Thanks
