A new version of FapTurbo Evolution has been released!  This was extremely welcome news for us here at the Trading Gurus because backtesting the robot was proving to be something of a nightmare.  According to the email we received announcing the new version it has:

If you recall we didn't have much luck comparing the original MetaTrader version of FapTurbo with FapTurbo Evolution in forward testing. We have managed to do rather better with our backtesting. One of the reasons backtesting FapTurbo Evolution in Dukascopy's JForex platform takes so long, if you follow the instructions in the Evolution manual at least, is that it uses tick data rather than one minute bars like MT4.  This makes the results more accurate, but also much more time consuming to obtain.  Here's the equity curve we obtained for the period starting on 5th July trading the EUR/GBP pair using the default input settings:

At the last count I had received 28 emails over the last few days advising me that "FapTurbo Evolution is LIVE!" and such like. Five of them were from the Forex MegaDroid team. I was a bit confused because I was sure that I got a few emails 2 or 3 weeks ago telling me about a robot called FapTurbo Swiss, which sounded a lot like this new one. Clearing my thoughts, I followed one of the plethora of links to the FapTurbo Evolution sales page, which told me at the top that:
