I have Fap Turbo up and running with a live account. I am also on a VPS. I know “they” suggest that FT and MT4 should be running 24/7, but given that FT only makes trades for 4 hrs. per day, is that necessarily true?
Could I run the robot on my home computer and only keep it running for, say, 6 hrs?
I’ve asked this question on the FT Forum and have yet to receive an answer.
Hi, I also use Fap Turbo. I can’t tell you for certain that FT should run 24/5 to gather previous data. However when I have switched to a new broker 2 weeks ago, so I had to install new MT4, Fap Turbo started trading straight away.
As from what I am understanding, FT analyse certain chart patterns and opens a trade at that point in time – in scalping mode.
VPS is important for long term trades, since long term trades can be done during the day, but as we know long term trades does not work.
So, you may be correct in saying that in scalping, you don’t need VPS. However you may need to leave the PC on for some long hours especially if some trades take hours to be closed as it happened last week.
The market is open 24 hours and the FAP program analyzes the trade data as it happens. I looked at this program recently and decided against it but I suggest you run it as they say.
