Place EA to \experts folder, compile with no error in MetaEditor and MetaEditor will generate ex4 file which MetaTrader is using for backtesting.

Firebird with the settings is here. And this post is usefull also.

how to get Firebird v0.65 running?

The Statement is updating on the post above.

Hello,

I'm still orienting myself as a new Elite member and I saw that Firebird v0.65 had sometimes good results and sometimes bad results.

Anyway I want to try it.

When I downloaded the EA from the ZIP file and tried to compile it I got 1 fault in 260.11

Can anybody inform me how to repair this fault?

And how to retrieve the eq4 file later?

Are preferred settings available?

Thanks in advance.

All EAs together with the settings are on files thread. Firebird is here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/176044/page2

You will find everything on this thread.

For example: Firebird which I am testing is on this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173367/page15 together with set files (settings). It is on inside zip file. The settings only is inside the zip file.

M30 timeframe.

Place EA to expert folder, settings from zip file - to preset folder. During the attaching EA to the chart download this settings.

Don't forget to compile EA. if you get any error in MetaEditor during the compiling so please copy and paste thhe error text on this thread. But it will not be any error. One error was half a year ago: it was something like point() ... so it was necessary to delete those (). But it was half a year ago.

I've done a couple of forward tests with FireBird... since a long time as it was my very first EA... a long time ago .

As is a counter-trend EA, i've discover, if you allow this EA to open order following the trend, it's produce a lot of great results...

ie : If the trend is UP, allow only Long orders and vice-versa.

Question : could we implement in this EA the 3EMA(34) rules to allow or not the SELL or BUY orders ?

How to "detect" when the market is ranging or trending :

Just use 3 EMA(34), one on High, one on Close and the last one on Low.

When yours candles are under the EMAs -> Trend is down. (allow ONLY sell trades)

When yours candles are above the EMAs -> Trend is up. (allow ONLY buy trades)

When yours candles crosses the EMAs -> no trend, ranging market. (no trades)

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
