Re: FapTurbo v.49

Something interesting going on here...no matter what I set my "Max Spread" to on the scalper, my broker always seems to be at least 0.1 pip HIGHER on the spread, thus its not taking the signal. When i lower the max spread, the brokers spread moves down but still stays 0.1 or more pips higher.

I've been doing this for over 2 hours now and it is consistently moving the spread outside the range.

Eg I set max spread to 4.1. Expert log records that max spread is exceeded to 4.2, it might do this for a minute or so.

I set max spread to 4.5. Expert log records that max spread is exceeded to 4.6.

I think something cunning is going on here, maybe the broker can somehow pick up the spread setting to somehow always stay just outside the range?

PS: I'm not talking about simple changes of the spread, that is also happening. I'm talking about constant "outpipping" of the set max spread value, regardless of if i increase it.

Re: now 10K USD account at Dukascopy

I agree regarding F A P Turbo and this whole evolution thing - I think a lot of people are about to get burned with Evolution and Dukascopy. My advice would be to look elsewhere, or at least read the fine print on when you can actually withdraw your cash!

Has anyone come across an EA that can send an email when a certain equity % or free margin $ amount is reached?

I'm considering running a Martingale type EA, but want to have something that can send me an email as soon as the account might be getting into danger!

Re: EA Shark 5.0 Ultimate

Certainly the last few weeks of June, early July were not good for Shark EA. I have now turned it off for the moment.

Re: Scalping...is this a waste of time or can you....

Depending on when you scalp, you almost certainly need an EA in order to be able to close the positions quickly.

Something like F A P Turbo, did an amazing job in 2008, I recall some sessions where it would scalp one pair 10-12 times in four hours!!! Sometimes those scalps would open and close within the same minute!

Sadly scalpers like F AP no longer have anywhere near the same returns because the Asian Session no longer behaves the same way, and fixed spread low brokers are no longer around in that session.

They were great days - I took one account from 10K to 27K in 3months, trading at such LOW risk I look back now and want to cry! If I had known more, I would have made probably 100K lol!
