OK
Since I'm a moderator here I suppose I need to buy FAPturbo and test/tweak it. so I am the proud owner of FAPturbo. I will post my findings/results and settings here. I got asked quite a few questions about FAPturbo so I will do my best to answer them here. I f I do not know the answer I will tell you so or go find it. I will continue to run FAP live on my other thread and post strategy and settings there also. I believe they are both good programs that will rock the 21 century. |

Long term FAP is hedged out around 80usd Looking at how to free up this puppy a little bit and scalp more. Open up the scalper and this puppy could become a pip monster! Just letting long term FAP run because I already love my short term FAP. (good ol'FAP is how I refer to my regular FAP settings.) Have to spend some time transfering all this over to my VS so I have to restart. |

Not bad eagle, I too am finding that I like the scalper much better than the long term method as I like to see consistent gains and smaller losses, just hard wired in me I guess.

eagle are you using auto_mm = true? and if you are what is your lotrisk_reduction set at. I was told by technical help that over $1000.00
to set it to 20 on each chart. That means I am risking 40% on two charts. All trades today are positive but if they went against me I would have lost a bit. I decided to set my risk on both charts to 10% each and as it grows to lower the risk. Quote:

Ok I have FApturbo set up live on my account with the following parameters and the rationale behind them.
I went line by line through the manual and wrote down what I thought would work and why for each item. Any input will be appreciated. Scalper lots=0 use mm true scalper lrr=5 (all four pairs)=20% risk usually not at the same time though Scalper max lots=10 (should have to worry aboput this right now with 4300usd account GMT offset=2 FXDD broker platform Stealth=on Custom=off (default,Not sure what this does) Relax=0(its a freakin robot.It needs no rest!) simple height off(advice from Sooner and short14? one of those two) Trend filter on (the trend is your friend) Trade friday=0 No scalping on friday=no hanging trades on weekend) One trade=False(Why?) Use Filter MA=true(trend is your friend) Period filter=default (may experiment later)=100 price filter=0 Cant tread my handwriting but the next one =0 LOL rest default for scalper For turbo LTS scalp strategy =False (only on eur/usd chart) Good ole FAP settings from my settings (^eagle's FAP settings) Stop loss =0 Duration=0 (All but one trade would have closed in profit from FAP run) Close at months end=0 (I can choose to close any trade at any time) Period Moving averag large=75 (Smaller take profit these numbers are experimental and may change) Period moving average small=21(Same as above) Price MA=0 Close is the best indicator Most traders wait for candle closes to act Type moving average=0 Close already takes care of weighted issue Shift MA large and small=default (not sure how changing these would effect results so leaving them alone for now.) Look for days=0 Critical day=0 (My TP is so low that I'm not too concerned about market conditions in general Relax days=0(See relax days above) Hedging=1 (ALWAYS be ready to hedge) Hedging LRR=0 Always keep margin level high. Trade NFP=1 NFP isnt like it used to be. I think the gradualists are making it so that it doesnbt spike so much by leaking out good info. Trade Friday=1 (my smaller trade lolts and TP make it feasible to do this.) Pruddent=0 (trying to keep this as close to old FAP ass possible Sym alligator=1 From what i understand it uses the global trend filter as the main indicator and the alligator indicator if the small and large are in conflict.) Fap turbo fixed direction=0 (too strict for the TP value) Clslsmktchg=0(I'll decide if I want to close a loser. Fap turbo always trade=0 (I think this will stop Fap fromtrading and leaving those hangers at support and resistance for days on end) Fap turbo low lot=.1 (not really needed) Too good to be true=default prudent period=default) Rest default Last edited by ^eagle^; 12-07-2008 at 05:08 PM. |

Just wondering if you recommend FXDD for scalper? I was thinking of going with ODL and IBFX (since we can not activate only 2 accounts)
