I think many of us have found that FAPS does tend to prefer selling rather than buying (and from my experience it seems to do better selling, but they're probably just my bad settings). Worth checking to make sure you have it set to go "Long & Short" though - open FAPS settings, "Common" tab, and then select "Long & Short" from the box (or just "Long" to force it only to buy).

thanks maestro but, my settings common is long&short

How long have you been using these settings? FAPT and FAPS have been making only sells for a while now. Also, EUR/USD has been having a big downward trend so FAPS and FAPT have been big sellers lately.

Also, I'll move this thread over to FAPT section. You'll get a lot more answers over there.

That's not quite true. It does not "prefer" either direction. The direction it trades is determined by the PeriodMA variable. At the moment it prefers selling because the daily trend remains short.

Good point, sorry, my mistake.
