My settings are as follows:
LRR: 0 (Using manual lots)
Max Orders: 5
Stop Time: 1
aaa: 25
bbb: 3
TP: 10
SL: 0
PeriodMA: 90
Price_MA_0_6: 1
Type_MA_0_3: 1
On back testing it seems to do quite well however if I set LRR to 1 or 2 then the drawdown is a bit risky to my liking.
I started trading as per Earl's 2 am brainwave on 5min chart
The first part of the statement TP was set at 40 and stop time 480 then I decided to change some settings to what EARL is doing eg stop time.
What I would like to point out is that FAPS stopped setting TP levels however it's still closing trades for me but at different levels (no set TP). As can be seen some of the trades wen't into very high pip levels before closing eg I had a trade that was +200 (Opened 2008.11.05 22:40) pips before closing for a 145pip profit.
Something else FAPS has never done before is drawing trend lines on the chart
The trend lines in blue is mine, the others from FAPS
