The FAP Turbo Forex Robot is without a doubt the most popular forex trading robot on the market. Since its relatively recent release it has gained huge popularity and has caused controversy with some brokers because of some of the methodologies employed. The FAP Turbo uses its own proprietary strategy but it is widely accepted that it trades on price action and looks for short term market moves and a relatively small profit per trade. As any experienced Forex Robot trader will tell you, whether you actually make a profit or not at the end of the day will depend largely on the settings you use. Often these settings have been optimized over a period of months and “tuned” according to the market conditions and the particular currency pairs in use.

Another important factor is which forex broker you use. Not all forex brokers are the same. Often the quality of their data feed and the amount of slippage they implement will decide whether or not you are profitable. Do forex brokers manipulate the price/data feed to your robot? For a large percentage of forex brokers, and I have tried perhaps 40, the answer is yes. They do often manipulate prices through such things as slippage, delaying, holding trades and generally providing poor trade execution. I have witnessed this myself on very many occasions.

Whilst using one broker with the same robot make a profit, I would often see the same robot on another broker lose money of make significantly less profit. The reality is that this is just a fact of life with forex trading. Many brokers will disallow the use of FAP Turbo or will simply put you on the “slip-o-matic” machine which is a method often employed in the retail forex world. Yes, thats right folks you heard it from me, not all forex brokers are there to help you make money!

But the question is of course how do you know which brokers to use and which ones to avoid? Well of course there is the old trial and error method. This works eventually after you have wasted months of your valuable time testing or you could perhaps visit some of the many active forex forums and get some advice from those with more experience than yourself and hope that perhaps their experiences will help you avoid the same pitfalls that they themselves had to endure before they eventually found a suitable broker, gave up trying or simply wiped out 2 or 3 brokerage accounts in the process.

As for the settings this is also another challenge. There are a large number of variables which can drastically effect the profitability of the robot, any one of which may well determine the outcome. Whilst demo trading certainly helps you decide on the best settings, the chances are that it does not mirror the actual trading conditions encountered with a live trading account. From my experience the price and trade execution can vary greatly. So it may well be necessary to “tune” your robot with a live account.

As you can see optimizing the FAP Turbo or any other Forex Robot can be a time consuming and somewhat costly task. Ultimately at some point during the process you need to put your hard earned cash on the line to test your optimization. This of course is the ultimate test, since we have all been demo trading virtual millionaires but trading with real cash involves a whole different mind set. The good thing is though there is a choice if you want to short cut the whole testing and optimizing process. The FAP Turbo Expert Guide was written with the end user in mind. It was written by Rob Casey who is amply qualified and has been developing forex robots commercially and for personal use for the last 8 years. He gives you the “skinny” on what settings to use as well as the brokers who give you the best chances to maximize your profits and who don’t trade against you.

Another thing to consider when using the FAP Turbo is the recent events with NFA regulations being introduced with U.S. based brokers which has had a dramatic effect on the face of retail forex trading, hence it is essential to stay up with the latest information in regards to the best brokers to use as well as the best settings to use with those specific brokers. So the best idea is to get wise and use the FAP Turbo guide.
