AutoFxK v0.6c
AutoFxK v0.6c is now available to all Forex Killer users. If you are a Forex Killer customer, you should’ve received an email with a link to download AutoFxK as a free bonus. It’d be best to contact Forex Killer support for the same, especially if you don’t have the updated version 4.12 of Forex Killer.
For those of you who already have the updated Forex Killer v4.12, you may download AutoFxK v0.6c from the link below:
AutoFxK 0.6c download link
The download is a zip file that contains AutoFxK along with its instruction manual as well as other required files.
Please be sure to read through the Instruction manual carefully. If you’d rather go through the video tutorials (see previous post), please be my guest!
————————————————————————————————————————
Simplified Instructions: When you first run AutoFxK, you will have to enter your name and email address to complete the validation procedure. Check your email and copy & paste the key into the validation box. Once the validation process is complete, you have to setup AutoFxK first. Make sure the Settings are to your taste (especially make sure that the path to Forex Killer is specified correctly under the General tab). If you have got the latest updated version of Forex Killer (the updated 4.12), then make sure you choose v4.12 under the General tab otherwise choose v3.
Once that’s done, you will have to test out AutoFxK. Make sure you have your Metatrader and Forex Killer opened up before you do this. Use the test shortcuts such as Alt+0 & Ctrl+0 (that’s zero not the letter O) to calibrate the mouse offsets. With Alt+0, the mouse cursor should reach close to the center of the New Chart button on your MetaTrader’s toolbar. If it doesn’t, go back into Settings->Offsets and adjust the X & Y offsets until you finally get it right. IMPORTANT: ONCE YOU HAVE ADJUSTED THE X&Y SLIDERS AND IF ALT+0 WORKS WELL, THEN DO NOT ADJUST THE SLIDERS AGAIN AFTER THAT.
After Alt+0, test Ctrl+0. The cursor should reach the Chart Timeframe dropdown box in ForexKiller. If you see that the Forex Killer child window is too high or too low, then YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE ADDITIONAL Y OFFSET FOR FOREX KILLER at the bottom of the Offset tab in AutoFxK’s Settings. I repeat, DO NOT ADJUST THE X & Y SLIDERS!
After the mouse calibration is done, all the other test shortcuts should work smoothly. Test Alt+5, Ctrl+5 and Alt+Ctrl+5. Once you’re satisfied, ONLY THEN should you use Alt+Tilde and Alt+Shift+Tilde.
If AutoFxK acts funny, then use Alt+S to stop AutoFxK or Alt+Esc , which will force it to terminate or exit immediately.

As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome. I hope AutoFxK adds a degree of ease to your experience with Forex Killer. All the best to you in your Forex trading!

UPDATE: This note is for those of you who’re getting the error “Cannot obtain signal data”. This error means that you are not using the latest Forex Killer. Please contact Forex Killer support to get the updated 4.12 version of Forex Killer. The version number of the updated ForexKiller remains the same (v4.12) but it has an additional function that allows AutoFxK to read the required data directly from ForexKiller. In the meantime, until you receive the updated version, please choose version 3 (under General tab) in AutoFxK. The automater should work properly as long as the “Delay between each action” is set to anything between 150 to 300 millisecs.
Also, some of you Vista users may receive the “Fatal COM error”. In case you get this error, please leave a comment here with your details such as name, email address, etc. and I shall get back to you as soon as possible.

Are you talking about AutofxK’s validation procedure or ForexKiller’s installation? By the way, since it’s Vista, I’d suggest you disable User Account Control (in Control Panel -> User Accounts)

There should be no reason for AutoFxK not to extract. Your anti-virus could be interfering; if so, disable it during the extraction process. Also, please try extracting it using WinRAR, if WinZip doesnt work for you.

I am experiencing 3 issues with the FxK software…..
When I calibrate my mouse for Meta Trader and Forex Killer using Control 0 and Alt 0 the settings will not hold. The settings will only set for either Meta Trader or Forex Killer, but not both.
When I calibrate one, the other calibration reverts back to the previous setting. They do not seem to be holding the settings for both.
Also, I was able to get the program to scan, but when it gave a sell signal on the EUR/USD for both the short and long term, it would not place the trade.
On the Strategies Tab, when I select Probability Strategy, I get an Invalid Option window that says “Strategies based on probability % can only be used with Forex Killer version 4.12 or above.”
I have version 4.12 and in the General Tab, I have the correctdirectory selected.
What could I be doing incorrectly?

Thats because only the six major pairs are used in AutoFxK. If you want more pairs to be added, you will have to place a request with Mr. Kirchberger. If he approves it, then I shall work on adding more pairs…
