PeriodMA 75 vs 21

[oofdah]

I've been running 2 demo accounts, one with periodMA of 75 and a stop time of 20, the other with 21 and a stop time of 10.

PeriodMA 21 has resulted in 15 successful buy trades in the past 24 hours.
PeriodMA 75 on the other hand just wants to sell... and is losing big.

Just food for thought.

If you go live with 21 and multiple trades I suggest a stop time of 30 or higher. anything less will cause trade clumping.

I am currently testing 34 on demo but results are similar to 21 on long and short for this trend. Trade left hanging again.

Are you referring to PeriodMALarge or PeriodMASmall ?

Have you found that when that happens you start losing trades?

PeriodMALarge and Small refer to FapTurbo. This section is for the original FAPS program.

earl suggested two days ago, when i do auto lots to do ma100. I have been doing that and i'm getting slaughtered by sell orders, will this currency ever go down? It's sitting at 1.40, And it sold at 1.36.

sorry man :( I said to test it....

see what you think...

right now I have put faps on the shelf

been manual trading trying to save my account

2 positions over 1400 pip out each

and we have another 500 pip up to go

no crash in sight

I have been running MA 21 for three weeks, no complaints, I was left with a couple hangers but a SL of 180 fixes those...

The danger is in not spreading the risk. Stoptime one allows FAP to place trades all together at one price or general price range.

Lets suppose FAPs opens three trades at 1;35. Using my settings you are doing the same thign as if you plunked 6% down on one trade. If that trade goes to1.41. you re toast.

OTOH if you only had one trade placed at 2% and it wen t against you you could ride it out.

Okay I see what you mean now, good point there to. I can see how that can bring your account down kinda fast if it were to go in the wrong direction.
