FAP Turbo was once the EA to beat and had traders around the world jumping on board this Forex trading phenomenon. Now… the jury is out!
FAP Turbo is made up of two trading strategies:
- A Scalping strategy that runs on up to four pairs
- A Position strategy that runs on the EURUSD
Both strategies have been adapted from the popular Forex Autopilot EA’s and are updated frequently to accommodate modern trading conditions. The tests below have been carried out using version 50 of the software.
Different from most other EAs produced these days, FAP Turbo lets you customize a number of its settings to optimize it for your level of risk or to boost it’s performance. This has seen many a trader fall foul of FAP Turbo in the past so my tests below will only run on the default settings.

I’m currently running FAP Turbo on Alpari UK. Testing started on 17th April 2010. Note, the test below is running default settings on EURGBP, EURCHF, GBPCHF and USDCAD. Current results are as follows:

Lab Result:
14th July 2010:
- Have just realized that FAPTurbo hasn’t traded since 30th June 2010. I’m guessing something has been programmed in to prevent it from trading after this date. I’ll investigate and see if I can get it working again. Has anyone else noticed this? Note, it’s running on demo only.
17th July 2010:
- Found out that my software had expired. I updated it today so note that the above test has missed the results for the first half of July.

Between FaPTurbo and Megadroid, which is better ?
They are very different EAs when it comes down to how they perform. I prefer Megadroid head and shoulders above FAPTurbo simply because it wins on a more consistent basis, however, it doesn’t trade as often. You can sometimes go 1-2 weeks without a trade. On the other hand there are times you can get 5-6 trades in one week. Also, Megadroid can be back tested consistently where as FAPTurbo has had a number of updates, so the latest version has been optimized for recent times. Previous versions, I traded live last year, had some good winning periods with specific pairs but then some bad losing ones also (which is typically when they create an updated version of the EA). Hope this helps.
Can the Megadroid and Fabturbo work in micro lot size?
Hi lora,
Yes, they can work on any Lot size. 0.01 Lots and upwards.
I notice there is a different version for megadroid called megadroid pro and different version Fapturbo called Fabturbo Evolution. what is this all about? kind of confuse with it.
Hi lora,
MegaDroid Pro and FapTrubo Evolution are extended versions of the original EA’s. MegaDroid Pro trades more currency pairs, and from recollection isn’t as accurate by any means as MegaDroid itself (I have a copy of it so will add it to the site shortly). Evolution is the same as FAPTurbo but built to run on a specific Swiss broker that doesn’t have an MT4 platform (Dukascopy – $10,000 USD minimum opening deposit). So, in short, you’re still better to go with the originals IMHO.
i have been using FAPTv50 since 01.07.2010 and so far has given me nothing but profits. started with a live gomarkets account 194euro and i am 50euro with profit.thats 26% growth have 3 trades running with -8.00euro loss
I notice the fapturbo and megadroid was selling very cheap in ebay.com. what is the different with those in ebay?
eBay falls down when it comes to receiving updated versions of the software. The latest MegaDroid update improved performance 10 fold. FapTurbo send updated versions regularly. You also don’t get the money back guarantee, I presume, if you don’t like them.
Hi Cam, do you use default settings?
Thanks!
Hi Cristobal,
Yes, the settings used above are default. Cheers
Hi Cam,
The Live Account Statement you show above? Is that a Live (real money account or Live Demo Account?
Kindly clarify.
Al
Hi Al,
All accounts on the site are run as Live Tests on Demo accounts.
Hope this helps.
it’s a good choice to use Fapturbo on EURGBP or EURCHF.
And Megadroid on EURUSD. so to avoid correlation risk. (avoid both Ea’s running on EURUSD long term)
also i would recommend the Settings from http://www.fapturboexpertguide.com.
I have been running fapturbo for 3 months tomorrow and my broker I’m using is liteforex.org, for 2 months it was running well and now on the 3rd month (finishing) it has started losing…badly (now next month only fap brings out an update on their software) so for me it seems fap is inconsistent. Cam says a lot of robots are having bad day today which actually MEANS that these robots TOO are inconsistent, they only profit when they feel like it. for me Megadroid is STILL consistently making profits (sorry, i forgot to mention->i got mega AND fap) I’ve been running megadroid since Feb 2010 and seems to be doing well in AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL market conditions (and people rave so much about fap??? I wonder why?). Just to let you all know, fap made 26% last month for me, it seemed to be climbing out of it’s LAST loss past two days and then this MORNING (GMT=3) the EUR/CHF pair hit aNOTHER big loss. if this robot is SO good it’ll make UP that loss and give 20% by tomorrow (3 months), which i SERIOUSLY doubt, will let you all know tomorrow what happens. I don’t know, to me it seems this robot is broker sensitive which means it CAN’T be trusted. Forgot to mention, I’ve also been running fap demo on fastbrokers broker and THAT seems to be doing fine, JUST recovered from ITS losses so we’ll see by tomorrow about that one too, it too has been giving 20% for past 2 months, my account is now sitting on 0 (breakeven) with this broker
If you want to run FAP, then open account with ATC or MB Trading. Only way to profit.
Hi Al, thanks for advice, i found the problem though, it seems fap IS a good bot, my log files from lite says “common error” which means it didn’t CLOSE in time! I’m now going to run megadroids auto detector, a package i got FROM them to put on your VPS see check for these damn disconnections but thanks anyway Al, who is ATC and MB, never heard of them (shoo but i’m disappointed with my broker, i wrote their engineers a little love letter and they said that they’d look into the problem!) problem is, how does one find a broker who uses rebates (for trading), with lite you at least get rebates AS YOU TRADE, is why i LIKED them
Are rebates really important against good and profitable trading? You gotta choose one.
Greetings all, just to let you know…i must apologize to my broker, this incident that i had with fapturbo DOESN’T seem to be broker fault, i had some SERIOUS problems thurs and fri night with my VPS!! Hackers got in few months ago and installed prime95 which is a torture program that caused MAJOR issues with my host AND vps, i had to get my guys to format because they found other users on VPS so basically this program was running resulting in overusage of memory and CPU and so my robot wasn’t working properly resulting in….big loss
so my advice if you get VPS or some server is use STRONG password. Also, it doesn’t matter HOW many times one changes their pass with this program because it creates a “hole” giving easy access anytime. Well, my hosting guys have beefed up security BIG time so we’ll see now 
sorry fap and sorry liteforex. Hope THIS sorts the problem although, even though I’m getting “common error” i still get profits so far (I’ll get hold of my broker and find out about that). By the way i think sorry to alpari as well because i was demoing them TOO and i was getting same result what i JUST got now, breakeven then BACK into negative.
Thought i might clear the air
Cheers
Hi Al,
What could be wrong with getting BOTH worlds? Get decent broker and they give rebates? It seems like FXCBS is like this (i stand under correction with these people but their spreads seem amAZING, could very well be used with no name bot
Hey guys. I have recently stumbled upon a change to fapturbo that could benefit greatly or lose drastic. Through the settings, I’ve turned the longterm fap to a scalper. I make a new setting for it at the beginning of every week and I let that setting run for the entire week. So far, I’ve been successful and I would like to share my settings with you. I can post all the settings of August if i get good feedback on them. The following setting is this week, Aug22-29:

I can post up my website, I have all of my graphs there, but I would like Cam’s permission first.
Hi Hoang,
Thanks for the settings.
For the benefit of those interested in your setting updates, here’s a link to your website:
https://sites.google.com/site/freefapturbosettings/
Also, I’ll remove your ratings from two of the posts above, so the results aren’t skewed
Cheers
I am using Fapturbo ver50. Can you please tell me which is the best pair for this. I tried USDCAD, USDCHF both did good but i liked USDCHF More. Now i am trying GBPUSD.
Can you please share Short scalper settings to make my account from $600 to $2000 in a month
. I know its not realistic but i would really appreciate any optimal settings.
Also how can i get an idea when to turn off the robot in a market condition?
All in All Fapturbo is really great and works great. I give it 5 stars
Have a look here to see all the stats around the test results above. You’ll notice that the only profitable pairs are (in order) EURGBP, USDCAD and GBPCHF.
The settings are default and can be found listed at the top of the backtest results here. Hope this helps.
Vishal,
Who is your fapturbo broker? and how long have you been trading fap for? I traded 2 months and it started losing (guess my broker actually sucks), here are words from an ECN broker himSELF (we skype now and again)”except, with fapturbo the chances of you loosing with any broker within a one year period is 99.5%” who is that 0.5%???? is there such? Cams seems to be getting sucess with Alpari? I don’t know what I did wrong but i was either breakeven or losing with them? My broker is lite by the way
my broker is 1pipfix or Investtechfx or …i am sure you won’t see much positive reviews for that…but they are doing good job for me atleast…i don’t have much knowledge of forex so i am happy with their performance
…
I have been using Fapturbo for 2 months now and using the default settings and just change lot size or pair thats all…now i am using GBPUSD and yes it does loose 1 in 10 and sometimes that is a huge one but not many like that
Vishal, let me know how it goes please, as I said, I’m looking at FXCBS at mo because they are bringing in micro’s as well one of these days. Well support told me that they are the ONLY one’s out of 50 companies who have stuck with fap so they MUST be good, I HAVE tried them before, did request withdrawal and got it in few days so they DO give your money
I haven’t seen anything REALLY BAD about them yet so. (i must say, although my demo is still in negative it’s LESS than half it WAS and the week hasn’t finished yet 
My first week ended on 4% up so let’s see. I also asked them the way the feeds are going currently, DO they STAY this constant and they said that (pardon the boasting…THEIR words, not mine) their feeds are ALWAYS good LOL so far I’m happy. But MY strategy for next year is:
Liteforex: Megadroid, NoName and green forex because these bots trades are HIDDEN from the broker (this broker has rebates which pay immediately which is why I’m using them)
FXCBS: Fapturbo (hell, if one can find a broker that WORKS with fapturbo WHY NOT!)
Well, i do pay the commission to Investtechfx but yes i got my money as well
. I requested for $500 and it was returned in a day. I am running Fap, Megadroid and overdrive all on Investechfx…
Do you suggest that FXCBS doesn’t charge any commission and has good spreads? Honestly saying i am satisfied with my broker as of now as i do get profits but they do charge commission so for example if i play with .50 lot then they charge $5 for that and for 1.0 $10 .
I am not sure if every broker does that or not as i don’t have much knowledge about Forex to be honest.
And yes one more thing..my broker’s spread is fixed…so its always 0.5 or 0.6 for some major currencies like USDCAD, USDCHF, EURUSD, USDCHF etc.
