No Trades

spkul8r · #1 12-29-2008, 10:26 AM

Bought & installed my FAPS Turbo on 12.18, put 5k in a demo account traded for 3 days & made about 15k. As of 12.24 it hasen't made 1 trade. I'm starting to get concerned, I reread all installation instructions and went through the EA properity settings. I never messed around with the "TIMES" . Any ideas?
Thanks, Doug

It's due to the lack of volume which is because fo the holiday season. Be patient and wait until volume comes back sometime mid January to early February.

I have been running the robot for 10 days and not one single trade. I MT4 and everything looks fine but nothing.

I opened a 5000$ demo account with FXDD, my free margin shows 5000$ but I get the message "you don't have a free margin"

I know that the market is very volatile and spreads are high but I would expect to see something after 10 days. So far all I have been getting is a 149$ smiley face. Anyone have any idea? I don't know what else to do to put this robot to work

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hmm, that is quite an odd message. What is the LRR (lot risk reductor) value that you've set for each pair?

Another thing you can try is to check the Journals tab and the Experts tab for errors.

Also can you post a screenshot of the error message and of your account trading window (showing account balance, fapturbo status text, etc)

Hi Alan,

I have been going through the expert log and I can see that it is trying to trade but it seem to think that I have no money??
My LRR is 5.0

Both the "trade" and "account history" tabs are empty for the exception of my 5000$ balance

This is from my expert log :

Thanks for looking into this!

Oh I see..that's quite messed up. So far that looks to me like a bug with fapturbo. If I'm not mistaken you've said that you've placed the new fapturbo3.dll in the proper location right?

I'm gonna see if I can bug one of the developers to see what he thinks of this.

alan · #7 01-28-2009, 12:49 AM

Gold Member, check your private messages as I just sent you instruction with what you need to do. I spoke with one of the developers and he asked me to relay those instructions.

Gold Member · #8 01-28-2009, 01:04 AM

Will do, thank you very much for your help!!

alan · #9 01-28-2009, 01:27 AM

I have tried many settings over the last week, but this is with LRR and other settings as low as I can get them...I thought it had to do with LRR being too high - I guess not if it's a bug.

Thank you in advance.
