Can FAPS hedge automatically?

[pekkle007]

I currently find myself in a situation where the robot sold EUR/USD@1.3431, the market then went against it (big time), and then it bought another lot @1.3489. Unfortunately, its been stuck w/in this range for quite a while now. - I believe this is called a "hedge" and my question is is FAPS programmed to do this automatically (or did I just get lucky)?

This seems to be the best way for the EA to cope with reversals.

Thanks for any advice.

This seems to be the best way for the EA to cope with reversals.or maybe not. because currently there is no market expose, i.e. it is the same as just closing first order but now margin is locked and EA stuck.

a better way might be to take a small loss earlier on first trade and move forward with a new trades.

Lowering the the Period MA and rasing the Stop time increases the probability that FAP will hedge trades.

I set my Period MA to 21 and stop time to 30. And most times it hedges trades.

I've already set Period MA=2 and had great success over the past few days. And now I will try a stop time of 30.

I actually meant to type 21 but I know earl has had success with lower Period MAs. Anyhting above thirty for stop time does well. However if there is a sharp downturn I find that raising the period MA to 50. executes more trades than leaving it at 21.
