Hey all,

I've been trading a live account with IBFX for the past couple of weeks. I use a fixed lot setting for the scalper pairs that I trade (EUR/CHF & EUR/GBP).

Last night fap turbo 23 made a short trade @ exactly 23:03 GMT for EUR/CHF and closed at a 54 pip loss . The interesting thing is that when I checked the fap turbo website to check their live account on IBFX that started with $370.00, the account also posted a short EUR/CHF trade @ exactly 23:02 GMT (just a min, or even seconds sooner than my trade), but the only difference is this one took profit while my trade lost.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this may have occured? All of my setting are default, MM = False, and I trade fixed lots. The FAPT guys have said that they too use default settings and only change LRR or Lot settings.

Look forward to your comments.

Thanks & Happy Holidays,

Jack

I just checked the charts, and it would appear that the trade should have closed with profit. Do you see offquote or requote issues in your journal? Even with the same broker it is possible to have different trades due to connectivity.

I had a sell trade on eurchf at 23:01 GMT that resulted in £46.63 profit (£10/pip) at 23:35

Hey Sooner,

I checked my journal - I did have an offquote issue but it was for the EUR/GBP pair which did not open a trade.

I lost a quite a bit of money with that loss - trying to figure out if and how to prevent something like this from happening in the future - I am running MT4 in a VPS.

I think the answer is that FAPT is very spread sensitive.
