Hi All
The long term FAPS trades are going strong but I have yet to have one scalper trade open, anybody else experience this? I have the smiley face on all the charts...
are you using 0 lot size for auto money managent? If you are then make sure mm variable = true. I know when I first started it I had the exact same problem. If you have input your own lot size ensure mm=false.
Just a idea,
Jer

Remember to set your GMT offset according to your broker market watch time;)

Even if the GMT is set wrong it should still trade. I would restore it to the default settings and then turn on MM and set the lot size to zero and let it go, I have had 4 scalper trades in the last hour or so, two closed already, and two are still open.

oki!
i use 2 demo accounts, one with 5000$ and everyting works good.
BUT
I i also have a demoaccount with the SAME settings and it hasnt made any trades at all on 40hour...I open up a demoaccount with 500$, can that be it? anyone else got a demoaccount with under 1000$ that trades as it should?
i was thinking of this setting: FapTurbo_Lots=0.0
and Scalper_UseMM=true
dont fapturbo want to open trades becuase of to little $$ or what the hell is wrong..?
Yes, set fapturbo_los=0.0 and scalper_usemm=true, this way it will do the money management for you, but don't forget to set an apropriate lotriskreductor
as for why it's not opening any trades check the obvious stuff like making sure you aren't using the same magic number on the same chart, you know all the stuff that is covered in the manual (hope you read it lol)...:)

It works fine for me. I think scalper works a lot better than long term FAPturbo.

hmm. I get "common error" when trying to manually open a trade aswell.
I was going to check if i was able to open .01 trades manually, but i cant open any trades at all.

YES, I asked the support at IBFX to restart demoserver, and now i can manual place orders, so i guess the EA will work better now =) we will see

Simmo your scalper is trading with these settings ?
You have a lot size of 0.1
and your mm is set at true
This is what my default settings were and it will not trade...
I just changed the lot size to 0 and the mm to true...

Well ths scalper seems to be trading just fine. I think when mm is set to true and lrr is set, then the lots= is ignored.
Fapturbo setting definitely has to be lot=0 for auto lot size.

I am using Alpari and I started off with a $5000 demo account which is now up to $8,801 with 3 trades floating showin a -$1000 loss.
This is from the 25th November.
I have set autolots so that Fapturbo manages the risk and trade sizes.
