That's covered in the User CP FAQ here:
http://www.pipcop.com/forums/faq.php...ivate_messages

The link for User CP up in the navigation bar (left side, bottom, first item)? And there is a User CP FAQ link right next to it. All the answers are there!

There is also a link which says "Private Messages" in the middle of the nav bar on the right.

Forexfactory.com is fine, as is forex-tsd.com, and mql4.com. These are the big EA development sites, and they offer lots of information and help with EA programing, and automated trading ideas. Tradingsystemforex.com also has some great information, and all of these sites have lists of free EA's, with open discussions and backtesting and optimization results. There is a lot of information here, too much to assimilate easily. And losing money does seem to happen a lot quicker, and easier than winning. But in reality its just positioning, being in the right place at the right time.

What I was getting at is that there are a lot of people who think the right robot is going to make them easy money, and there are a lot of developers and marketers who love to push that impression and sell hopes and dreams.

When somebody new comes in and asks us to tell them which is the best robot to use, that is kind of a joke. If I knew a robot that was as good as that I would plug it into my accounts and pay some bills and mass some great wealth before I let it go. As anyone can see there hasnt been a robot yet to make it through PipCops testing and survive long enough to make anyone wealthy.

Delano, I dont believe, belief belongs to the needy and the faithful, leave it there.

Trading robots are a fine idea, theoreticaly workable. Accept that the market is a living entity composed of human minds and emotions, constantly adapting and changing. Any simple mechanical system can work, if used at the right time and in the right way, however beware, very few, if any, can survive and adapt to change on their own. Even the very best systems, once popularized and used by many, cease to work as well. However, the absolute simplest system can work well, if used at the right time.

Default No FAPTurbo trades on Alpari?

Hi,

is there anything wrong with the FAPTurbo demo accounts? No trades the whole month on Alpari (US)? I am running it on Alpari (UK) and it is doing good, in EURGBP as well...

cheers, PK

It depends on the spread . Compare the spreads between Alpari UK and Alpari US. FAPTurbo does not make trades when spread is higher than preset max.

I appreciate you reporting this. As it turns out, that instance of MT seemed to have reset itself. I've re-set up MT, and confirmed it's working, so now maybe we'll see some action.

For some reason, this Alpari MT4 has been really weird. I suspect it may be corrupted somehow. We'll have to keep an eye on it.

Jeez, now the other robots have stopped, all with an error that it's expired. This robot is a real pain in the ass to test. I'll get this updated ASAP.

Yeah, I did the same on several different demo and my live account... but still this one is worth the sweat

FAP Turbo is the only Robot up to now, I would not only bet playmoney on - if used with caution, that is...

New to Pipcop. Great Forum. I have been using FAPTURBO on several demo accounts and had some success. I used a spread of 8 for everything and was seeing 4 of my demos up about 10% and the other two were down by about 2-3%. It is hard to tell because I had put in the wrong GMT offset for at least one and that can lead to losses. I have started a $250 live account on http://www.liteforex.org just last night and haven't seen any trades yet (1:200). That is fine as I expect I will have to change the lot size to get it to trade.

I used http://mymetafx.com/ to help shop for brokers. It has been very helpful and appears to be accurate.

One more thing on www.liteforex.org : the spreads charged by the company were exactly the same for a live account ($250) as they were for a demo account ($3000). I know that was one of my big questions.
