Here are the settings that I am using on the FAP Turbo Scalper- I am only using the Scalper as I am not to keen on the Long Term Strategy.

Here are my settings that I am using and if anyone could offer some advice as to how I could tweak them to increase profits, I would greatly appreciate it. The broker I am doing a demo on is FXPro.

I intend to use these settings on a $1,000.00 live account if demo results are satisfactory.

EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, USD/CAD- all at LRR 5%

*Problem- Can't scalp on the GBP/CHF pair since the spread is 7 and FAP Guide says spread should not be greater than 4. Any help here would be great.

GMT offset at 2- thats an obvious one for my particular broker


Simple height filter= False

useMM= True

Scalper Lots= 0

Any of you professionals out there have any thoughts about how I could trade GBP/CHF? Or am I good to go for now with these settings? Thanks.

According to the developers, the only spread that matters is EURGBP, which if they are 3 then that usually means that the other spreads will fall in line with a certain range of that spread. They are using GBPCHF on their own accounts and I know for a fact the spread is 12 on IBFX. I don't trade teh USDCAD anymore because the spread can be upwards of 20 at times, so I removed it.

Yeah, customer service had messaged me and said that most of the profits come from eur/gbp- the spread only needed to be less than 5 for that particular pair.

Sooner- are you using FXPro?

I use the following settings:

EURGBP risk = 10
EURCHF risk = 5
GBPCHF risk = 5

Based on observation of my backtests. I basically eyeballed it after having ran several hundred backtests (different combinations of risk, pairs, and broken out into annual periods).

I consider this to be my max risk tolerance.

I have no faith in the EURUSD, nor USDCAD pairs.
