Hi Alan

I have setup FAPS on demo for over a week now(not including weekend). It has not made any moves at all? I feel I have loaded everything in properly. Smiley face on,inputs are set to FAPS setup. I know the market has been up and down, but wouldn't of thought this would stop faps from putting trades on. Is there any other reason for no movement with the bot?

Thanks
clintnz

So you followed the instructions in the manual to the letter? Have you also checked out the "Journal" tab to see if FAP is spewing out any errors at you. One common one is that people forget to input their activation key.

I had set the M1 to 4hr trade. Now set to M1, FAPS started within 10mins. It has pulled in some positive trades +84.75 p/l. Setting eurusd at 0.05 on $1500.00 demo has been running for 2days with roughly 4hrs left in this months trading time, I have just popped in for lunch to see that FAPS has picked up a loosing trade with audusd -145.00 currently. Why would this happen so close to monthly ending. I was going to turn faps off, but thought hey lets see what happens this close to end of month. I wouldn't have thought autopilot would pick up on such a negative? I will let you know how this trade ends later this evening.clintnz

FAPS is not suppose to work...I got a call today from the FAPS people, who want to teach me how to trade. They asked me about my finances, and what I wanted out of life.

why would you want to teah me how to trade IF your system works???

Well' that was interesting. Bout 1hr before monthly cutoff -345 audusd, then it continued to pick up eurusd trade which also ran into loss. Both were called. -535 loss, interesting tho' I have left running since the bot has come back in fine form with over 9 positive trades. Are we as Alan said seeing some sort of pattern toward end of month trading? Remember I am running demo account.

clint, you're trading on the wrong pairs. That's all I'm going to say about this. Trade at your own risk, just as long as you understand that FAPS was not optimized and is not designed to trade anything but the eur/usd pair.
