Fap turbo does not open positions

Hello guys,
I installed yesterday fap turbo and I preferred to just set the scalping strategy for pair EurChf and EurGpb. In 10 hours it not had open any position. In the information that I read on the chart, I see a max spread of 5 and often spread is around that value or even higher. Is possible that this is the reason of zero position opened? I followed the instructions perfectly and the faces in all graphs are cheerful. My ea is running correctly but does not open positions. When you think that everything returns to normal? Thanks for the support.

Hmm, well, if the value is higher it WONT open a trade. If this persists and the spread is constantly higher than the minimum it would be time for you to search for another broker.

fap turbo trades during 21GMT-1GMT in default.

rumliscio,

Try to find a broker with EUR/GBP and EUR/CHF spread is 3-4 preferably 3- no higher. It will be difficult to find such a broker but if you do your research, you'll find one.

FXCBS seems to have fairly low spreads. But I'm still suffereing from that same problem. My max spread is set to 5 and about all the pairs I've been running have been between 3 and 4. I've been running fap turbo on my demo account for a full 24 hours. Yes, I know there are some days that FAP will not trade at all. But judging by the volatiliy there have been at least three points in time that FAP could have safely opened positions. All my settings are at default, I've checked and re-checked the apporpirate dialogue boxes, I never receive any errors, and there is a smiley face in the top right-hand corner of each chart that I have open.

You should also check the "Journal" and "Expert" tab at the bottom to see if there's any error message there.
