FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s some commonly asked questions. Please preview them before emailing me, because you might find your question already answered
Q. How do I get your optimized settings?
A. After order, just visit this page and enter the appropriate information
Q. Do you still offer your settings if I order through your site?
A. Yes, I have been offering the settings for over 2 years now, and I continue to offer them and update them frequently.
Q. I ordered through another site before I found that you gave optimized settings to clients. Can you pleasssse send them to me?
A. No, it wouldn’t be fair on my true clients. However I do offer them as a separate PayPal purchase. Follow the links in the sidebar to the right side of the page.
Q. It’s been a couple days since I ordered and I haven’t got the settings yet, when will you send them?
A. It usually takes me 1-3 days to get through my emails and send settings. Please be patient and run the account as a demo for a few days until you get the settings via email.
Q. Which trading robot should I order first?
A. You’ll see charts showing the top forex robots at the top of this site. In general I recommend Forex MegaDroid for those who want a really safe investment, then Forex BulletProof or FAP Turbo for those who are comfortable seeing a few small losses to make a bigger profit. Check out my latest reviews of any forex robot in the ‘Robot Reviews’ section – That should greatly help you make your decision
Q. I’m having trouble installing the robots… could you please help me set them up?
A. I’ve made a step by step video that makes it easy to install any forex robot, just Click Here and follow the steps
Q. How often do you update your optimized settings?
A. I don’t post changes very often because it takes me a while to test one group of settings against another, so updates usually only come 4-5 times per year. These will be sent to all clients emails.

Hi Jim,
Question for you:
I ordered Bulletproof through your link, installed it, and it appears all is good.
I have the smiley face on the screen. It says it’s authenticated and active.
But when I left click on the chart and then click H1, it changes on the chart to:
“status: Error. Wrong timeframe selected. Please select the timeframe M1″.
Is this OK? Have I done it corectly by overriding the system and selecting H1?
Thanks for your assistance,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
Both currencies with BulletProof are supposed to be M1 mate, so that’s where the problem is.
Best of luck trading in the new year!

Hey Chester,
I don’t update the settings often because it takes quite a while to do all the testing and confirm improved settings, but the last update was in October. You must not be in the new system where I can automatically send you the information. I’ll send you an email with link where you can get the updated info.

hey jim, im a newbie and i just wanted to know, if i were to lets say credit my bot account with $50 bucks using the bullitproof bot just to test it out. From your experience with the bot, what kind of realistic profit will i see after lets say 1 week?

Hey Antwon, unfortunately I don’t think any forex robots will trade with $50. You would have to set your leverage high and have micro lots, and I still think the minimum is around $300 or $400. You should try it out for a while with a demo account anyway. This will also give you time to save some money to invest.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news!
All the best,
Jim

G’day Jim.
For us guys “Down Under” (NZ) , who might you recommend as a good broker?
Ive just started using IamFX with FapTurbo, its only been running a few days and still in Demo, and made $400 in 24hrs!!!
Im keen to buy Forex BulletProof from your site aswell and would like to diversify, place my eggs in different baskets, and want to try another broker/brokers that you personally recommend , especially for us at the bottom of the world.
My plan is to have my spare room full off PC’s running several robots , all following your recommendations.
Cheers
Rich

Hey Rich. Glad to hear of your success so far with FAP Turbo!
IamFX is a good broker so you could probably just stick with them. Another good one with low spreads is Alpari UK, so you might want to check them out and see which works better for you.
Sounds like a good plan! But remember you can run more than one robot on a computer
So maybe you can save some money there
Best of luck,
Jim

Thanks for the reply.
Another Q?
You say i can use more than 1 robot on each computer.
But can i have more than 1 robot running on 1 MT4 platform. or do i have to run another platform for another Robot??
Does that make sense ?? i know what i mean anyway.LOl
cheers Rich

Hey Rich, I think I know what you mean. You can run several robots in the same platform, but you can also run several platforms on the same computer. Here’s some examples…
You could have one installation of MT4 with $10,000 deposited running fap turbo, bulletproof, megadroid, leo trader, etc etc. This would help to build up capital in one live account faster……. or…
You could have 10 installations of MT4 on one computer, each with $1,000 and each using just one forex robot, or maybe even different variations of a forex robot (different currencies).
The reason people have multiple screens while they trade, is so that they can have 1 chart per screen for easy and quick viewing (because when you’re manually live trading, the seconds count). This isn’t needed with automated trading robots.
Hope this helps,
Jim

Hey Panny,
I would recommend Forex Bulletproof for this investment size. Then when your account grows you can always branch out to other forex robots like FAP Turbo and Forex MegaDroid.
Hope this helps,
Jim

What is “Fap Turbo Flash” ?
That is what is advertize when I click on your Bullitproof order

Hey Azim,
It’s a free forex robot that they’re offering. It’s just a basic robot they are giving away to try to capture leads. You can give it a try and see how it does for you, but my results have been mediocre. Some profits and some losses, but overall not much has happened with it. But hey, it’s free!
[Reply]
Hi there,
If I want to start my investment with $1000 which FX robot would you recommend? I’m keen on the Megadroid one, but not sure whether that would suit.
Thanks

Hey Dee-Dee,
I would definitely agree. MegaDroid would be perfect for that account size, and also it’s the most reliable forex robot available.
[Reply]
Hi again
Also I think I will need to use a VPS as my internet sometimes goes off by itself, and my parents go mad if I leave the laptop on 24/7. Which VPS would you recommend for FAP Turbo and Megadroid?
THanks

Hey Dee-Dee. Yeah, it’s a good idea to get one for most people, since your profits will pay for it anyway. The one that I’ve found best, and heard the best reviews of is ultra hosting, and it works for all forex robots, click here to check it out.

Hi Jim,
Do you know any broker with MT4 for mac allowing to place EA like FapTurbo?
Many thanks in advance!

I’m not sure that they make them compatible with Mac, but you can use the crossover software which allows you too run any windows software (like MetaTrader) on your Mac.
[Reply]
Thanks a lot Jim!
Regarding VPS, does it mean you either invest in such, or you have to leave your computer ON, 24/7?
Thanks in advance again!
[Reply]
Sorry I forgot to include this question in my previous email:
For VPS: is the first offer (5GB storage and 512 MB RAM) enough?
Thanks again!

Does it mean that you either invest in VPS, or you have to leave your computer ON, 24h/7?

HELLO MR. JIM

I DO APOLOGIZE TO WASTE YOUR GREAT TIME WITH MY QUESTIONS ,,, AND I BE GREAT FULL AND I APPRECIATE IF YOU PLEASE LEAVE YOUR REPLY COMMENT TO MY REQUEST..

Hi Jack, no worries mate, I’m here to help with this type of thing, because the big guys usually don’t have time…
you can just run it all on your computer, and losing internet connection for a few seconds shouldn’t be a problem. What type of internet connection do you have? Maybe you could just upgrade your internet connection to avoid these issues, but as I said, It shouldn’t be a problem if it’s only a few seconds. If it were 10 minutes or more, then you’d definitely need to find a way to avoid that.
Hope this has helped,
Jim

Hey Lili, I replied to your email a while ago, but I guess my internet connection must have dropped when I tried to send the reply. So here is the answer to your questions…
You can run BulletProof and MegaDroid on as many computers as you like, however Fap Turbo requires that you have a new licence for every copy unfortunately.
You don’t need a VPS, but I would recommend one if your internet connection ever drops out, or is slow. You can just leave your computer running if you have good internet and it’s just the same as a VPS basically.
You can run all robots in one install of MetaTrader too if you want to
Hope this has helped,
Jim

Do you have a list of bots that you have reviewed that viewers can see? I have purchased a few, and I would like to see how they rate against the field. I have Forex Bullet Proof (Advanced and normal version), Pips 4 Idiots, and Push-Button-Pips. Also, do your custom setting for Bullet Proof also transfer to the Advanced version, or is that version no longer needed with your settings?
I am ready to open an account now; between $2K and $4K USD to start. Once I get your comments, I will order your settings for the program. Also, I am a US citizen, but I can work with a friend to open any account; what about FXCM, Alpari UK, Best?

Hey Alex, it depends if you’re scalping or using the long term strategy. The long term requires you to use the M1 time frame, scalping uses M15

Hey Lex, you can use it, but it wont place many trades. You can also alter the lot sizes etc to better suit your own needs
[Reply]
I’m curious as to running the setting you supplied in tandem with another EA on the EURUSD pair. Is there any conflict in doing so? Also, do these settings work for a small account? I’ve got a $1200 account I’m thinking of adding the settings to.

Hi Kris,
Yeah no problems with running multiple expert advisors, and yes they’ll work with $1200 just fine.
