Ok, maybe a dumb question, but I've never been accused of being the sharpest spoon in the drawer:

From what I understand, FAPS runs on a combination of the following indicators:

1- Alligator
2- Fractal
3- DeMarker
4- Williams Percent Rate

I am assuming that all of this is calculated internally within the EA BUT- When I open indicators on my chart, we are given the option of allowing the EA access that indicator. Soooo.....

Do we need to have those indicators open on our charts?


Also, I like to use a few indicators on my charts for manual trading.

Specifically-

IBFX CPR
IBFX Daily Pivots
Volumes
Aroon

Will having these indicators open affect the performance of FAP in any way. Do I need to check or uncheck the allow dll imports box when opening?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Earl, thanks for the reply.

So all other things are equal on these accounts as far as settings etc? Just different indicators attached to each chart?
