Fapturbo Short Term Settings...

Hi All,

I haven't been around here in ages and have had enough of all the good reviews of fapturbo and thought I would give it a try.

I am using the following settings for a conservative run on EURGBP 15m.

I am a bit lost when it comes to what all the settings mean but this is what I came up with with the little knowledge I have:

____Scalper___________=--- Scalper EURCHF, EURGPB, GBPCHF or USDCAD M15 ---
UseScalperStrategy=1
Scalper_Lots=0.01000000
Scalper_UseMM=1
Scalper_LotsRiskReductor=5.00000000
Scalper_MaxLots=0.05000000
Scalper_GMTOffset=1
Scalper_StealthMode=1
Scalper_UseCustomLevels=1
Scalper_RelaxHours=0
Scalper_SimpleHeightFilter=1
Scalper_TrendFilter=1
Scalper_TradeFriday=0
Scalper_OneTrade=0
Scalper_UseFilterMA=0
Scalper_PeriodFilterMA=100
Scalper_PriceFilterMA=0
Scalper_MethodFilterMA=0
Scalper_MaxSpread=5
Scalper_SlipageInc=2
Scalper_ExpertComment=FapTurboShortTerm
Scalper_MagicNumber=12464336

My idea being to forward test on super conservative settings for a while and then dial up the heat as it makes positive progress.

If people could help me with whether these settings are ideal it would be appreciated...

Thanks
MM

and MaxLots=0.05 doesn't look like default. i hope you know what you are doing

I agree with Miksa on this one, how well have you tested your settings? They look quite altered unless you have optimised them for just a single pair

Does anyone know what the best settings for Scalper use MA are?

Hi There,
Just a thought by using Lrr 5 on the EUR/GBP you will be risking close to 10% of your entire account on every single trade. This is in reality already not conservative setting.
And when people go go 20 or even 30 Lrr they are shocked when two SL strades take 75% of their account.

This is what we called risk and rewards. If fapturbo really can achieve nearly 100% winning rate we can always set the risk setting higher to try to earn more rewards. The issue now is the winning rate is dropped recently and people suffered from the high drowndown of their account due to this issue.
