Forex Autopilot Settings - The Most Complete Guide

WARNING: (All the default forex autopilot settings should be in placed as it is other than ones we explain below for smooth performance. Once you gain more experience you can tweak variables to optimize its performances.)

Time Frame: 1 minute (M1) timeframe ONLY

Currency Pair: EUR/USD

Correct Lot Size: When manually defining lot size define lot size according to the following guide.

Set Lots = 0.1 for deposit under $2,000.00
Set Lots = 0.5 for deposit amount $5,000.00
Set Lots = 1 for deposit more than $10,000.00

Money Management: For beginners set LotsRiskReductor = 0 to activate auto money management.

The auto money management features that as your account grows so does your lot size along with it. But if you suffer a loss, the lot size will decrease to create more breathing room for your trading account.

FAPS will define the lot size for you automatically based on the parameter "LotRiskReductor" value.

For example: if you set LotsRiskReductor = 5 then you will risk 5% of your available margin to open new position.

WARNING: Beware of risk in forex trading. Always test your forex autopilot robot on demo account first.

Note: Set takeprofit = 200 if your broker uses 5 digit price quotes or else use default settings.

StopLoss must be set to 0. FAPS does not use fixed stop loss. It uses smart settings for stop loss to close losing trades according to inner indicators.
