As per my last post, right now I am travelling a lot so posting and updates are a bit restricted. Anyway, this is a summary what what has happened so far, since we went live.
1) We went live at 24th March, 2009, with $1000 deposit
2) Broker is Alpari
3) All settings left as default, just reduced LRR to 5.0, scalper lots set to 0.1 – very conservative settings.
4) I have not traded all days, since there were 2 – 3 were market and Alpari were not stable.
5) Alpari changed servers and there is a problem of disconnectivity. I don’t know if this problem was fixed lately.
6) FAP Turbo 3.7 was released. Some people lost money on that day but for sure is not due to the robot. On the same day Alpari changed servers, and market was very unstable.
7) I had GMT Settings set incorrectly since the daylight hour change, and Fap Turbo was not functioning correctly.
So far FAP Turbo has generated $115.89 profits. See my next post for details.
Take care for now.

Even though I said that I won’t trade this week, yesterday FAP Turbo was on and trading. The day went as follows:
We had 6 trades, 3 successful and 3 with minor losses. Average profit was around $12.00 approx.
Currently there are 2 main problems that made life difficult to Fap Turbo and me:
1) Alpari new servers are going crazy. Metatrader is disconnecting frequently and this is an additional risk for our trades. Although I noticed the problem I went on trading although today I read in the FAP Turbo forum that Alpari advised not to trade. I have traded and came out with a profit. Today is also disconnecting but not that frequently. Just my luck, when I have decided to go live, Alpari changed servers and are not working that smooth!
2) I had GMT Offset incorrectly set. So FAP Turbo managed to create some profits even though I have mistakenly set GMT Settings incorrect. Since my server is in the UK I got mixed up in the settings where UK have changed their time to summer time last weekend.
Lets see today how it goes. Take care for now.
