Isn't that version pro44 can do that? Never experience pro44 yet (I'm still with version 3.6).

pls keep in mind that other 20 hours could be less profitable than standard trading hours in fapturbo. so there was a reason to make fapturbo trading only 4 hours

I'm doing 8h with pro version and obtained quite good result too. I use this setting:

Scalper_StartWorkTimeHour = 21
Scalper_EndWorkTimeHour = 5

Moneydream,

I'm trying out a TP adjustment from 6 to 3pips that is working pretty well, but I want to hear about your tweak....

Are you still using these settings with success?

Default Tough times

Yeah, pls share how that tweak's been working for you. I'm trying the 21-5 trading hrs as well.
From what I see, these 2 weeks have been pretty rough for fap turbo.-129.5 pips from 3 trades alone on FXCM MT4. Are you guys experiencing the same?

FAPT has been through some tough times and I'm sure there's more to come. Obviously the overall feeling seems to be that your own brain is the best trading tool (watching news, market environment, learning more & improving trading strategies,etc., etc.), but I don't have time for all that!!!

-129.5 pips is quite a bit..... I had a few small losses, but for example:
Wednesday there was a small 3 pip loss. On Thursday it made the same back....so now it's at break even. If it would have been set at the normal take profit levels it would have stopped out or hung around in the negative for a while before closing in a major loss.

This works for me because there are smaller profits and it generally seems to close faster rather than hanging around another 3 hours after the session is over. The risk reward ratio might not be perfect for you math addicts, but the real world testing of this seems to be doing OK!

Default Roughing it out

That sounds fair enough tom. Do you adjust the LRR as well?
I'll probably start another Demo to test out the T/P settings.

I remember reading somewhere in this forum to consider another factor expectancy on top of risk/reward. That has been in FAPT's favour so far it seems. I'll just let my current settings(extended trading hrs) run for the month and see how it goes from there.

I do the LRR like always....I check the calendar 1st to get an idea of potential risky days here:
http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php) and then at
http://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/

EUR/CHF gets maybe 20 - 30 LRR depending on how the day looks....
if it looks like smooth sailing I jack the LRR up to 55, but this week I'm going to be testing out 65 and possibly 75 LRR on "clear" days. The lower LRR ex=30 would get a t/p in my book of 3. On the "jacked" settings the EUR/CHF t/p will be 2. GOAL=In and out as fast as possible & if it looks like a "clear" day....then I'm going for it a bit harder.

EUR/GBP is at a set LRR of 15 right now and t/p is 3. I'm not that comfortable with trading this one at the moment on riskier settings. I just want it in and out - as FAST as possible. Over the past 3 months it seems like if I ever check on it - it just hangs on to the trades and doesn't go anywhere. I'm still going to be testing it, but these settings are firm at the moment.

I want to add something here as well.....my risk appetite is a bit higher than probably most of the people on here. This is what almost took my mini account (of a few hundred bucks) out of the game with the EUR/GBP stop losses being hit several times over the last few months. I'm trying to regain that as fast as possible, but if there's a blow out it doesn't really matter - FYI!
