FAP Turbo robot review - 4 BROKERAGES AT ONCE

[masterpipper]

Demo vs. Live is not the question. All things being equal, its WHICH Broker does best with the EA, IF the EA makes any money, etc. Some brokers' environments just won't support scalping. That is likely to come out in a demo test -- but only 1 between the 2. my live accounts are run in parallel with the same demos and the spread stuff effects the profit potential and if the trades should be taken. When a trade is triggered on LIVE, its there in demo. but demo may take more trades than live and the potential for success or failure is there. In any case, this test here would show which brokerage is most amenable to this robot; the best one vs the worst one here is more than likely to parallel Live accounts. What I do draw the line at, however, is backtests which I think would give you an idea how the robot would perform. Longer term robots here would work better than scalping robots. Get my drift?

no. that was my point . that wont come out in a demo; only in a live account. demo accounts are play. live accounts arent. so thousands and thousands of simultaneous orders sent through to the broker by clients using identical EAs on live accounts will result in problems (slippage + wider spreads) which do not show up on the demo.

I agree. However, that's why I'll put this on a live account pending the end of the probationary 90 day review. Then we can all see how it operates in real life.

Patience, my friends, patience!

yes, the method is great. the litmus test will come when you select a broker .

Hi pipcop,
Thanks for the promotion to rookie pip officer.My goal is to make Detective.
I am also testing this EA on a demo account (Alpari UK).The problem is that I havent had any trades this week??!!! I check every morning and see your closed trades but on my side, no trades. I'm using scalper strategy on EUR/GBP running on forex vps. I think the problem is my settings.Are you using default settings?

Have you enabled .dll?

[mitaji]

I have enabled .dll so I dont understand what the problem is.

[PipCop]

Yes, all default settings. Have you checked your Experts log and Journal in MetaTrader? Does it say anything there?

[PipCop]

I just have to mention ... I am really fascinated by the difference in brokers. I am very glad I started testing this on multiple accounts. I will have to go back and re-do a lot of the older reviews that failed because perhaps they were victims to bad brokers!
