By the way, I also added a new shortcut to open the Settings page  and that’s  Alt+C

All the other shortcuts remain the same. For simplified instructions on validating and setting up AutoFxK,  PLEASE read the previous post below. Before contacting me about any issues related to AutoFxK, kindly go through the Instruction Manual as well as the videos on this blog.

AutoFxK  0.6d

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A  SUGGESTION : Over the past 3 months, I’ve received quite a few requests to add more currency pairs in AutoFxK. I finally caved in to popular demand. As stated above, you can now set AutoFxK to automatically trade on any 6 pairs that are supported by Forex Killer. But please remember, you are still limited to choosing the first 6 pairs that show up on the New Charts list in your MetaTrader. Here’s how you can work around this limitation:

First of all, make a mental list of the 6 pairs that you wish to trade on and order them according to your preference or priority. Next, go to your MetaTrader and look for the Market Watch section on the left hand side of the charts. Usually, you will have the majors listed at the top of the Market Watch list. But you can actually rearrange that list by manually dragging and dropping the pairs you want. 

For example, imagine your Market Watch List looks like this with EUR/USD at the top. But let’s say you want EUR/GBP to be at the top of the list instead. Just click the EUR/GBP line, drag and drop it at the top! Easy as pie!!

Like this, you can rearrange the first 6 pairs that you’d like to trade on. And once you’re done with this rearrangment, you can get into AutoFxK’s Settings and specify the same top 6 pairs that you just love so much!

Hope this little suggestion helps someone out there.

Feel free to leave your comments / opinions / suggestions etc…

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.

If things work out fine and the number of issues become reduced, I shall ensure that version 6 will be uploaded to the ForexKiller website for the benefit of all the other customers.

I’ve redesigned AutoFxK and given it a fresh new look, plus I’ve added quite a lot of new options as well. There is a simple Strategy feature which will only work with the latest version of Forex Killer. I’ve even added a Scheduler that’ll allow you to set your trading timings into AutoFxK as well.

If you’re really interested in testing out AutoFxK, plz post your details as requested in the previous post. Please ensure you include the version of Forex Killer you have (the exact version number can be obtained under the Help menu option in Forex Killer).

One point I must emphasize: I am only looking for individuals who are SERIOUS about testing my software and who are willing to give me constructive feedback that will help to improve this little gem. If you’re not really serious about this, then please don’t waste your time and especially mine. For those of you who genuinely contribute during this testing phase, your names will be included in the AutoFxK documentation. That is my way of giving my sincere thanks to you for your efforts and opinions.

I restarted my Forex Funnel test on Oct 16th on a Mini demo account starting with a balance of $3000 and 0.1 lots per order (since it’s a Mini account, the effective lot size is 0.01). Ever since Oct 16th, Forex Funnel has pulled in a small profit of  +$57.93. I feel like it’s a waste of time coz even if i test FF for an entire month, my profit will only be around $230 – $240. Does anyone think this is worth it? Right now, the closed trades are sitting at  +127.07 and there are two current live trades that show  -60.97 & -8.17.

Like I’ve stated before, if you follow the instructions wherein you trade only 0.01 lot sizes for every $2500, then your balance may remain safe but the returns will be quite low. Please read my previous posts regarding FF’s doubling strategy. In my case, I noticed that Forex Funnel had set up limit orders utilizing upto 6.4 lots. With a starting lot of 0.1, this means that Forex Funnel had doubled the lot size six times in a row! Let’s do a little math…

0.1 -> doubled = 0.2 -> doubled = 0.4 -> doubled = 0.8 -> doubled = 1.6 -> doubled = 3.2 -> doubled = 6.4

You notice that FF has doubled the lot size in 6 steps. So, the size of the largest order can be expressed with this formula:

Lot Size of the Largest Order = (Starting lot size) * 2 ^ steps

In this case, Largest lot size = 0.1 * 2^6 = 0.1 * 64 = 6.4 lots

The last order in a series is usually placed as a limit order and most often, it gets cancelled. But even though, it gets cancelled, the margin is still required until it cancellation. So, let’s consider this. For a mini account with 1:200 leverage, the margin required per 1 lot is $50… for 1:400 leverage, it would be $25. Let’s take 1:200. This means that for FF to reach the 6 step, margins would be required for each of the orders placed. So, let’s calculate the total margin required:

Total margin = (0.1 * $50) + (0.2 * $50) + (0.4 * $50) + (0.8 * $50) + (1.6 * $50) + (3.2 * $50) + (6.4 * 50)

= $5 + $10 + $20 + $40 + $80 + $160 + $320

= $635

Now that’s $635 just for the margin alone! What about the equity required to absorb the impacts of all those high and low peaks?! With a starting balance of $3000, you’re not gonna last long!! If you have a large balance, then yes, you will make profits with FF, but very gradually.

So, once again, I repeat myself: DO NOT TRADE FOREX FUNNEL ON LOW BALANCES !!!!

‘Nuff said!

I’ve cancelled Forex Mafioso in my List of Forex Bots & Expert Advisors. Nothing more to say about this bot. Looks like Mafioso was assassinated like all the other non-profitable bots out there. Rest in peace…

-$2954.02 !!!

Can you believe that?! Just imagine if i had run Forex Funnel on a live account. I shudder to think of it! People on the Net may assume that this bot is a gift from heaven but i beg to differ. Once again, I retiterate the same point I made in one of my previous posts about Forex Funnel. BEWARE: this bot is NOT meant for smaller trading accounts!

I’m considering taking this bot off my list of bots that I consider good enough to promote for mini accounts. For the current list of bots I’m testing, click here:

Am I gonna get a refund from Forex Funnel? You betcha!!!
