Ok I have
fapturbo set up live on my account with the following parameters and the rationale behind them.
I went line by line through the manual and wrote down what I thought would work and why for each item.
Any input will be appreciated.
Scalper
lots=0
use mm true
scalper lrr=5 (all four pairs)=20% risk usually not at the same time though
Scalper max lots=10 (should have to worry aboput this right now with 4300usd account
GMT offset=2 FXDD broker platform
Stealth=on
Custom=off (default,Not sure what this does)
Relax=0(its a freakin robot.It needs no rest!)
simple height off(advice from Sooner and short14? one of those two)
Trend filter on (the trend is your friend)
Trade friday=0 No scalping on friday=no hanging trades on weekend)
One trade=False(Why?)
Use Filter MA=true(trend is your friend)
Period filter=default (may experiment later)=100
price filter=0
Cant tread my handwriting but the next one =0 LOL
rest default for scalper
For turbo LTS
scalp strategy =False (only on eur/usd chart)
Good ole FAP settings from my settings (^eagle's FAP settings)
Stop loss =0
Duration=0 (All but one trade would have closed in profit from FAP run)
Close at months end=0 (I can choose to close any trade at any time)
Period Moving averag large=75 (Smaller take profit these numbers are experimental and may change)
Period moving average small=21(Same as above)
Price MA=0 Close is the best indicator Most traders wait for candle closes to act
Type moving average=0 Close already takes care of weighted issue
Shift MA large and small=default
(not sure how changing these would effect results so leaving them alone for now.)
Look for days=0
Critical day=0 (My TP is so low that I'm not too concerned about market conditions in general
Relax days=0(See relax days above)
Hedging=1 (ALWAYS be ready to hedge)
Hedging LRR=0 Always keep margin level high.
Trade NFP=1 NFP isnt like it used to be. I think the gradualists are making it so that it doesnbt spike so much by leaking out good info.
Trade Friday=1 (my smaller trade lolts and TP make it feasible to do this.)
Pruddent=0 (trying to keep this as close to old FAP ass possible
Sym alligator=1 From what i understand it uses the global trend filter as the main indicator and the alligator indicator if the small and large are in conflict.)
fap turbo fixed direction=0 (too strict for the TP value)
Clslsmktchg=0(I'll decide if I want to close a loser.
Fap turbo always trade=0 (I think this will stop Fap fromtrading and leaving those hangers at support and resistance for days on end)
Fap turbo low lot=.1 (not really needed)
Too good to be true=default
prudent period=default)
Rest default
