Latest From Marcus: Alligator 129 Error Solved ?!

After raising my concerns (& other site readers too) with the ForexAutopilot EA, I just received a reply from Marcus Leary, the program developer. Check this out.

Hi there Lloyd. Marcus here. I heard from andy about your problems
with faps ea. We are working hard here to find the solution to this
Alligator 129 error.

I think finally we have found the solution. I attach the fixed copy
to you. You can run it on Euro/Usd on M1. You can also backtest it. I
think we have optimized it rather good and Faps EA is making good
profit on history and on real account. you know it is really difficult
to make EA that REALLY WORKs with great profit on live and demo and
does not give huge losses. i hope you will like our EA and its
results.

I also thank you for help and support of our clients. it's much
appreciated. looking forward to long cooperation with scoutforex.

He also sent me a latest EA, named ForexAutoPilot_Universal.ex4 . Hope you guys can re-download this EA (still goes with old name ForexAutoPilot.ex4) from the main site, i.e. using your bookmarked/saved member links after your purchase. And I hope the problem is now solved :-)

Hi Lloyd,

We all really appreciate your help. We are all no doubt very eager to see this system work for US. I clicked on the link "mainsite," and like previous attempts, it took me to the purchase site with NO place that I could log in or do ANYTHING besides re-purchase the program, which ofcourse we are not ABOUT to do. What should we DO! Please help! THx a bunch

Hoya, if you have already purchased the software and forgot to save your member link, simply contact Marcus and his support team to resend the EA to you.

Nudge, thanks for the info. Have you contacted Marcus regarding this new problem? Look like you might have changed the EA setting. You can try resetting to the original parameters.

Hi Lloyd

Yes i sent an email to support@ with all the details.

The only setting i changed was Lots to 0.1 i left all others as is.

I have this running on my laptop and my desktop, one with the recommended broker, and the other with Metaquotes, both had the same error.

One thing I noticed, they both did not enter the trade at the same time, there was 5 minutes between them with an 8pip loss.

Nudge said...

I worked out what the problem was, so if anyone else gets the error, they should check the decimal places their broker uses.

The recommended broker for ForexAutopilot uses 5 decimal places, therefor the default 20 TakeProfit is not valid, it must be 200.

Hope this helps anyone else who gets the same error.

Lloyd said...

Thanks Nudge. Which broker are you using?

Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

I use Forex Trading Edge http://www.forexte.com

They are linked to forex.com, but FTE have the added benefit of allowing MetaTrader, whereas forex.com do not offer this platform.

Lloyd,

I just upgraded FAP with new version but I notice there is an error in the expert field
Forexautopilot EUR/USD,M1: Alligator Jaw Error=129;desc=invalid price
Forexautopilot EUR/USD,M1:Closing
Perhaps you can relay this message to FAP support so I can get quick response. I've already send them e-mail but it normally takes 3-4 days to answer.
Thanks a lot!

Lloyd said...

Sure. Btw, which trading platform you use?

Unknown said...

Hi, I get the same error as Greg. Downloaded my FAPS last Friday and it loses/stops trading in back tests! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
