Since I'm a moderator here I suppose I need to buy fapturbo and test/tweak it. so I am the proud owner of fapturbo.

I will post my findings/results and settings here.

I got asked quite a few questions about FAPturbo so I will do my best to answer them here. I f I do not know the answer I will tell you so or go find it.

I will continue to run FAP live on my other thread and post strategy and settings there also.

I believe they are both good programs that will rock the 21 century.

First 24 hours with conservative settings

Made some scalps for a short time today.

Long term FAP is hedged out around 80usd

Looking at how to free up this puppy a little bit and scalp more.

Open up the scalper and this puppy could become a pip monster!

Just letting long term FAP run because I already love my short term FAP. (good ol'FAP is how I refer to my regular FAP settings.)

Have to spend some time transfering all this over to my VS so I have to restart.

Not bad eagle, I too am finding that I like the scalper much better than the long term method as I like to see consistent gains and smaller losses, just hard wired in me I guess.

eagle are you using auto_mm = true? and if you are what is your lotrisk_reduction set at. I was told by technical help that over $1000.00
to set it to 20 on each chart. That means I am risking 40% on two charts.
All trades today are positive but if they went against me I would have lost a bit. I decided to set my risk on both charts to 10% each and as it grows to lower the risk.

Holy #*^%$ 20% risk if you run all 4 charts is 80% of your margin gone if all 4 trades happen to be open at once.... I do believe they either don't like you much or they are using play money. Even Earl would not be willing to go with an 80% risk setting.

Here is my latest settings: 10,000.00 Demo Account

Check out the results for just 2 days.

Figure I would share the wealth and settings.

Trying to figure out why your fapturbo is doing the 20% risk and not the scalper. Your settings indicate that the eur/usd should be running at 2% and the scalper at 20% but the results say the opposite.

According to your results you are risking 5X20%=100% of your capital when five trades are open!

why stoploss at 0 ? i thought that stoploss meant when you take your loss and it closes the trade, and in your case at 0... doesnt it mean you will never stop a trade which explain why you never loose with eurusd, and the ones which are loosing and dropping enormous are still open trades?

Well I set up fapturbo on my VS on demo.

Not impressed with the results but I changed some parameters thta I thought would open up the scalper.

It obviously did not work because I only have one scalp today albeit a good one at 20% risk.

Going to reset it and use default.

As for FAP turbo I am even less impressed. The long term strategy is bunk. The filters are never ending. Good ole FAP is ten times the trader fapturbo is.

Might as well run Good ol FAP with a 500 pip stoploss..

Might go for a refund but the scalper might be a good investment and help pay for itself.

I think alot of people are coming to the same conclusion. will continue with defaults now that I am up on VS.

Up and running on Demo I accidently set the number of trades on turbo at five. currently 800 usd in drawdown. Not bad for five trades but unacceptable.

I went live with the scalper on eur/gbp at 5% LRR. Using sooner's settings for scalp. No Turbo. Only good ole FAP.

Long term turbo stays on demo until I see better results.
