Hello I am new to this forum, and I have been using Fapturbo for about 3 weeks now(2 weeks trading Demo), (1 week trading Live). The broker I trade with is IBFX, and on my demo account the scalper mode trade fine. Now that I trade live, the scalper mode doesn't trade well:confused:. Does any one have any advise on how to reconfigure my scalper setting so they trade like their supposed to:)? Also, I'm thiking about trading brokers, does anyone have any suggestions of prefered brokers:)?
Fapturbo is a great EA, I have already doubled my account my first week trading live!:D (Trading the EUR/USD)

Hi, I started trading with FAPT on January 14th with no previous forex experience. But I didn't wait before going live.
I chose FXOpen (http://www.fxopenaccount.info) as my broker because it allowed me to start with a small deposit. I started with 150$ and went all the way to 930$ but I lost it all because of some stupid manual trades that I've done. I couldn't just let the EA do its work, I had to put my 2 cents in, and it cost me a lot.
All my losses were on the EURUSD Long Term strategy.
So now, I'm trading only the EURGBP and EURCHF scalping pairs.
here are my settings
UseScalperStrategy=1
Scalper_Lots=0.10000000
Scalper_UseMM=1
Scalper_LotsRiskReductor=50.00000000 (changed)
Scalper_MaxLots=10.00000000
Scalper_GMTOffset=2
Scalper_StealthMode=1
Scalper_UseCustomLevels=1
Scalper_RelaxHours=0
Scalper_SimpleHeightFilter=0 (changed)
Scalper_TrendFilter=1
Scalper_TradeFriday=0
Scalper_OneTrade=0
Scalper_UseFilterMA=0
Scalper_PeriodFilterMA=100
Scalper_PriceFilterMA=0
Scalper_MethodFilterMA=0
Scalper_SlipageInc=0
Scalper_ExpertComment=FapTurboScalper
We'll see how that performs...
hey, how have u like fxopen? Do their spreads increase at night at all? If not how are execution times? Looking at switching brokers and that is one i had in mind.
thanks,
jer

The reason why scalper mode doesn't trade in live account was because of the broker widening the spread during Asian session (when the FAPTURBO scalper trading time). You should seriously think of changing to another good broker with low fixed spread if this keep happening.
