Waiting a"long" time....

[SANTAFEFLYFISHER48]

Could a longtime fap user please explain why this ea seems completely non-adaptive to trend change from short to long.
It seems that the coding is writen to be a short trading system....
Can i trade it only to the upside and have it perform as well as it does to the downside?
I have watched the market move 200 pips up several times while faps trades maybe 2 longs, while the same down moves produce 20 winning shorts!!!!! I know i am not the only one to make this brilliant observation am i ????

Comments please....

Yes FAPS does seem to be better at selling than buying. But what do yo have your settings at? That will make a big difference in how FAPS trades for you.

Some of us here are using 21, 34, 50 PMA's to try to catch the more recent swings and ignore the longer term ones.

When the market looks like its turned sideways from the downtrend, having a 100 Period Moving Average will only give you shorts based on the previous "100 daily bars" record.

Shorten it up to 21 or 34 and you will get a lot more longs.
