Although we found the sales page really hyped and overbearing (and even a little unprofessional looking) we decided to go ahead and skip straight to the order link.
Once inside FAP Turbo’s membership area after purchasing, the layout and steps to take seem pretty clear.
There are basically 5 essential steps you need to take to get the system up and running. Some are a little scarier than others, but none of the steps are complicated or confusing. It’s just a case of having to set up various accounts, optional extras and of course, installing the actual software itself.
There are a couple of nice surprises in Step 1, where you are told to set up a brokerage (must do this to trade Forex no matter what). The FAP Turbo guys have done a deal with their chosen brokerage firm so that you get $500 landing in your account after you’ve started making a few trades…nice!
With the use of the video tutorial, this entire step is very simple.
The next step is the software install. Again, very simple to do as the entire process is automated, just like installing a regular Microsoft program on your computer…you get the automatic install box to run you through everything. Plus the video makes the install even easier and if you have a specific set up requirement, they explain what to do with the files instead (advanced).
Following that, there’s a step included to show you how to get the system running and set up to your needs. This is where you can set up a demo account (which they recommend) so that you can start trading without real money, to see how well the system works. Now that’s pretty appealing huh?!
Next, they tell you how to activate your account so that you can use the system, along with how the entire software system is protected from piracy. Again, simple stuff here especially with the video tutorials.
Finally Step 5 talks about using a VPS to run your software. A VPS is a Virtual Private Server, which allows you to run the software using a remote server that is dedicated to you, but doesn’t require you to be online in order for the software to run.
Think of it like a secure computer that is always left running. The main benefit of this is that your software will never miss any lucrative trades due to being disconnected from the internet on your end.
At this point, we should tell you that extra costs may be involved if you want to use a VPS…around the tune of $70 or so per month. Whilst not essential, we quickly found that using one will have a significant advantage once you start actually making money from your trades (after you come out of the demo account).
