Hello.
I think it should be great to know which one work best on fapturbo.

So maybe we can try to write down what we come up with this far. I start.

ForexMeta= no trade so far on scalper in 30hour. 7 trades EURUSD m1

Alpari= no trades so far on scalper in 30hours. 6 trades on EURUSD m1

none of them seams to be that good to use with scalper..

stuve, you're doing something wrong if it isn't opening any trades..it is not the broker at fault.

On that note, I'd like to add that fapturbo works just fine with IBFX.

What broker do you use and what lot size are you setting manually? Do you trade on a demo standard or mini account?

Hi, I found Alpari (you guys recommended it too) and opened a live account. They advertise with their low spread (2 pips for EUR/USD and EUR/GBP).
The scalping robot works best with low spreads. Now I opened my account the first time and saw 3 pips spread. I researched and found, that they charge even 5 pips during the European night session. Fact is, the robot wouldn't work here. Anybody with ecperiences?? What shall I do?

Don't know if you're talking about the UK one? Certainly over here they changed their spreads a month ago

Let's hope they return to normal soon as I think they're a good broker from the feedback I've read.

I'm in the process of setting up an account with them and hope to try out FAP live soon. I've been running FAP on their demo for the last couple of days which has been interesting. I'll start off with very small lots just to see how the performance is on their live accounts. I'm prepared to risk a few quid to see how each pair performs live. Although it doesn't look good for GBPCHF. 12 for the night spread

EURCHF looks good though.

The sensible advice of course would be to wait until market conditions settle down.
