Forex Autopilot Review - 15 Winning Trades In 2 Days

Forex Autopilot (FAPS) saved my live trading account!

I been busy running other automatic forex trading software on my live trading account that sometimes I forget why Forex Autopilot is so good. Take a look at one of my current live trading account's history. This one is hot off the press. I had an initial deposit of $500 on this Interbank FX Metatrader account. As you can see, I had a losing trade at the beginning that finally hit the stop loss and lost me 30% of my deposit! Ok, ok... I know it's poor money management so don't try this at home.

But the good news is that I decided to switch back to the Forex Autopilot EA and look what happened! I had 15 consecutive winning trades in less than 2 days. In fact, I've almost made back what I lost in the beginning. How it this possible? Well, Forex Autopilot was designed especially for the EUR/ESD 1 minute timeframe. That's a very fast timeframe to trade in and most forex scalpers trade this timeframe manually by hand. A lot of forex robots are not able to successfully trade this timeframe because the lagging indicators that they use can cause them to enter or exit trades too late.

The default EA setting for Forex Autopilot will give you profitable trades but these settings can be tweaked to give you even better results. I may share with you some of my profitable EA settings is future blog posts but you can also try joining the FAP-Winner forum. This is a forum for Forex Autopilot users where you can get not only the most profitable settings for FAPS but also a personalised trading plan, coaching and trading advice to get the most out of FAPS.

Forex Tracer Review - Better Than FAPS?

Forex Tracer is the latest Forex trading system online and it's selling like hotcakes. Much like the other automated trading systems such as Forex Autopilot System (FAPS), it requires no previous experience and has been designed to run on autopilot and make you money. All that is required is a reliable Internet connection and the ability to leave your computer on 24/7.

Believe it or not, Forex Tracer produced over 94.90% profitable trades from July 2006 to May 2008... well, in backtesting anyway. Still the modelling quality was 90% while means it's pretty accurate. Forex Tracer has been tested in all kinds of market conditions and for extended periods and works with the 30min, 1 hr, 4hr and daily timeframes.

This system has been getting good reviews on the Forex forums but traders should be aware that Forex Tracer uses a fixed stop loss of 250 pips unlike FAPS. The downside to this is that while you may have many winning trades initially, one major market movement against you can wipe out all your gains. So, the advice above still applies. Turn off Forex Tracer before major news announcements. Read the Top 3 Automatic Forex Trading Software here.

Forex Autopilot - dll calls not allowed message

I recently upgraded to the new, improved version of Forex Autopilot. The updates include:

- Magic Number Feature - now it can work with other EAs and your manual trades without any problems.
- MaxOrders Feature - now you can set the EA to trade with more open orders, not just 1 at the same time.
- Several small issues fixed
- New reworked FAP instructions manual added

When I tried to backtest the new version of Fore Autopilot, there was no results initially and I found the error "dll call not allowed" under the Journal tab.

With this new version, you need to enable the Allow DLL imports checkbox in order for it to work. To do this, goto Tools > Options, Expert Advisors and check the appropriate box.

Click OK, and now everything works.

Q & A - How Forex Autopilot System (FAPS) Handles Losing Trades

According to Marcus Leary, the Forex Autopilot System creator, FAPS has a win rate of about 96%. Live testing by many FAPS users have borne out this statistic. However, to achieve that win rate, the EA can sometimes goes through a 20-30% drawdown while waiting for market conditions to reverse.

The FAPS EA has no fixed stop loss as a default (you can actually set a fixed stop loss if you want) but rather relies on internal indicators to decide when to close trades. The EA will continue to carry a loss until it eventually hits the Take Profit target or finds a signal to close a losing trade. I've yet to see the EA close a losing trade but that's another matter.

More importantly, the FAPS EA will automatically close all open trades at the beginning of a new month. You can already see this in backtesting. If you test from Feb 08 to Mar 08, you will see the EA closing the open trade on 1 Mar 2008.


What does this mean to you as a Forex Autopilot user? Well, first you need to monitor your open trades at the end of the month, especially if it occurs in the middle of the trading week. You may want to manually close your open trades a few hours before end of the month midnight (based on your broker's MetaTrader server timing).

Also, you need to have sufficient funds to cover the EA drawdown while running. The recommended trading lot size are shown below:
  • 0.1 lot for US$1,000-2,000

  • 0.5 lot for US$5,000

  • 1 lot for US$10,000

Happy trading!
