Version 52 – New 2010-2011 edition

As you know we are continually improving and developing FAPT behind the scenes to make Fapturbo better, stronger and up-to-date. We listen to your suggestions and try to implement most of them!
Bear with us - during the next few months we are going to surprise you with great development news.

What is new in version 52?

Meet the NEW currency pair! Finally after 12 months of live testing we are glad to introduce a new currency to the Fapturbo scalping system. It is the EURUSD (EURO vs US Dollar).

Below you can see the EURUSD Backtesting for 2009-2010 with the default settings.

EURUSD Settings:
Scalper_EURUSD_TakeProfit=16;
Scalper_EURUSD_StopLoss=69;
Scalper_StartWorkTimeHour=20;
Scalper_EndWorkTimeHour=23;
other settings - default.

Now, lets go back in history to 2001-2010. Here you see full EURUSD Backtesting from 2001 with the same settings.

And here is one of the forward test results. As you can see Fapturbo EURUSD M15 performed exactly the same on the forward test. It tripled the account in 7 months!

Questions about the Settings and Backtest

How to get same backtest?
When you do the backtest the strategy tester uses the current spread. That is the common problem. For example if you did backtest yesterday with the spread = 2 it will show great results but when you do backtest later when spread = 8 you will get totall loss. For proper backtest you should use brokers with low spread or catch low spread and disconnect your current broker so the spread freezes and will not vary.

Tell me the exact settings used to get same great results?

Here are the exact settings used. Broker used for backtest: AlpariUK Spread must be 3 or less during the backtest (!)
