I am trading EurGbp and EurChf, but I don't know what happened with the EurChf.
It took out a buy at the highest point it had been in 2 to 3 hours.
I thought fapturbo was not suppose to do that.
Even a complete newbie could see that it was not a good place for a buy.
I'm not worried, as it is not that far out yet, but it will probably stay open till it gets near breakeven then close for a 2 or 3 pip loss.

The spread has been 5 on my platform for some time now on Eur/gbp, it's Eur/chf that has suddenly gone up to 4 pips.

I get a lot more trades on demo as the spreads are 3 pips for both pairs.

you are right craig, it is like gambling! That is why I am moving over to manual trading. Having said that this ea keeps me in profit for now, it is just so frustrating

I recovered some of what I lost yesterday- I just hate those stop losses. I just wish fapturbo could adjust them in accordance with the market conditions- like Forex Mega Droid supposedly does. I'm not sure if that is possible with fap turbo though.

The EurChf trade is going south on me.
I've turned off fapturbo and set manual SL and TP

Started this with 4 currency pairs, then dropped USDCAD
Then dropped the GbpChf
Now it looks like I'm giving up on EurChf too
If I'm lucky I won't have to drop the EurGbp too.

And that does not even mention how bad the Long term strategy was.

It just hit my stoploss, and wiped out a perfectly good day of trading.
EurChf is now gone, I will not trade it anymore.
