I am in the middle of changing brokers (always fun) but I plan to keep FAPTS in play on the new broker but I still don't trust it and I will gradually increase the lot size as time goes on when my confidence in this EA builds.

Hey Rick!

Yes these settings are extremely aggressive and push the FAP Turbo to the limit. Right to the edge but always made it through the worst times. I find the most extreme periods the market is in and run backtests looking for when the EA is having the hardest time profitting. Then I run another test and start just before the worst down period. If it doesnt make it I back off on the risk and keep trying until I find it. This would be the most extreme situation.
Try it on demo only. Please dont put this on a live account until you have fully tested it forward of course.

Let me know!

Mike

PS I think I am not very good with the FAPTS system. The account almost closed due to another big loss.
