☆Settings that require対応

①Open display of 5 currency 1-hour charts and install EA on five charts

This EA is for simultaneous operation of five currencies: USDJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD, GBPJPY, and GBPUSD.

(Installing on only one chart will not enable five-currency simultaneous operation)

The swap-focused EA (69233) operates on USDJPY, EURJPY, and GBPJPY together for simultaneous operation.

This EA can work with any one of the above currencies, but maximum performance is achieved when operating all five currencies simultaneously.

Operating five currencies simultaneously not only increases profits from more trades but also stabilizes risk and timing through diversification.②Tools → Options → set Maximum Bars to 20000This EA refers to past candlesticks, so a larger maximum bar setting is necessary.Important③Set the lot size(initially around 0.05 LOT or less recommended)The lot size on the sales page is for display only.Please always adjust the lot size for risk management.Estimated maximum risk per currency per trade1 currency: 0.1 LOT = -25,000 yen; 0.01 LOT = -2,500 yenExample: To keep a single loss within -5%, with funds of 1,000,000 yen, use 0.04 LOT per currency (maximum -10,000 yen).→ Maximum risk: 5 currencies simultaneously = -50,000 yen (-5%)④Specify maximum number of positions (entry split)Maximum positions specified （default）：Positions corresponding to the specified amount will be activated sequentially according to each method.Both entry and take-profit trigger at different timings, providing diversification of risk.There is a risk-diversification effect.Normally, risk is reduced by lowering the lot size, but when you want to control risk by specifying the maximum number of positions, you can use this as well.Example: Position-limited “1” means one position per currency.Since the lot size and position count are easy to know in advance, risk management becomes easier and the behavior and trade history become simpler.⑤Configure MT4⑥Maintain MT4♢EA version upgrade procedureEA is regularly updated.

It seldom enters or exits quicklyA. Compared to scalping, everything feels longer.Average holding time is about 8 hours. Positions may be held for nearly a week, during which negative swaps can be substantial.When entry timing arrives, it tends to enter more intensively, so there may be 2–3 days with no entries.Q. There are many times when unrealized losses are large, which is worryingA. When things are good, unrealized profits can rocket, but it is normal for losses to start unrealized. This is normal behavior for early-stage investments.Q.Sometimes unrealized losses are large, which can be anxiety-inducingA. If large unrealized losses occur, you may worry whether MT4 is functioning if they don’t quickly cut losses.Please verify there are no mistakes in your held positions.♢Check held positionsWhen this product EA is used on a real account and you enter, you can also see the entries on the sales page transaction history.Append “#lz-forward” to the end of the sales page URL#lz-forward to jump directly to the trade history.Example：https://www.gogojungle.co.jp/systemtrade/fx/69075#lz-forwardAssign a product number to the green partAfter purchase, you can confirm whether your positions are operating correctly, check entry times, and verify held positions.※Execution times may vary slightly due to environment and account differences.※ Depending on your FX provider, you may see “trading on Gogojungle’s page but not on your side,” or vice versa.Such phenomena are common.☆Other possible troubles (not problems with this EA)① After restart, the MT4 chart parameter fields (especially time fields) may be blank.In that case, resetting restores the display. The program is still functioning even if blank.② Depending on VPS, when MT4 is closed and started, the EA may disappear from the chart.♢Gogojungle’s view on the phenomenon of the EA disappearing from the chart: There have been cases after MT4 version upgrades where the EA disappears from the chart, but this depends on each EA, so the exact cause is unknown.In our experience, this often occurs when upgrading multiple MT4 instances on a single PC simultaneously (perhaps due to PC load). We upgrade MT4 one at a time and confirm the EA is applied.③ Sometimes there is an error sound in the early morningFX providers may emit errors or sounds when MT4 places orders outside trading hours or during maintenance.This means you cannot enter or settle even though an order was placed, but this is not a major worry. It will be resolved when the FX provider’s trading hours resume.④ MT4 appears to be running, but the EA is not active.Holding positions and not settling for an unusually long time is clearly unnatural.This is not a problem with the EA but with the MT4 app/program itself.If the PC is heavily loaded, MT4 can fail just before stopping.To prevent this,please restart once a week if possible to reinitialize the EA.If the settlement point has passed, restarting may cause the EA to act and settle immediately.☆Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Is it okay to run during major economic indicators?Q. Do you recommend suspending operation during times of high market movement for EA management?A. Do not suspend operation (keep automatic trading on at all times).In situations where large movements are expected, there are both high risks and high opportunities, so we consider these within normal operation during special events.Therefore, such events are treated as within normal operation.♢This EA flexibly handles both buying and selling and shifts trading direction accordingly.In rising markets, it buys; in falling markets, it sells.In this respect as well,even if there are events that tend to move the market, we believe it can respond adequately to those changes.♢The above policy holds, but you may manually close positions in an emergency while holding positions, and it is not a problem.As a result, there may be times when it would have been better not to do it.Ultimately, whether to stop automated trading is up to you.♢Important notes・Always ensure you can withstand any economic indicator announcements by keeping a sufficiently large LOT size。※ In the event of unpredictable major earthquakes or missile attacks causing great chaos, sudden changes may occur, so consider emergency stop and manual full settlement as well.(This can also occur in regular discretionary trading, so please respond accordingly.)Q. Will VPS be restarted on weekends, and will there be issues with positions or operation after MT4 restart?Q. I’m planning to restart during times when the FX market is closed (weekends). In that case, will the EA re-recognize positions and proceed to settlement?Restarting will cause the EA to re-recognize held positions and proceed to settlement.After reboot, please confirm that MT4 is operating normally each time.Q. Do you intend to keep positions across weeks managed by the system?Yes. It will stay ON and operate.During this, negative swaps can be large, butcontinuing operation with acceptance of the negatives maximizes performance.※If you are uneasy about carrying over during weekends due to sudden fluctuations, you may manually settle at the end of Friday.Q. Is there a plan to develop a MT5 version?The MT5 version is not yet released, but there is potential for future development, and we will inform you if it becomes available.

②Tools → Options → set Maximum Bars to 20000

This EA refers to past candlesticks, so a larger maximum bar setting is necessary.

Important③Set the lot size(initially around 0.05 LOT or less recommended)

The lot size on the sales page is for display only.

Please always adjust the lot size for risk management.

Estimated maximum risk per currency per trade1 currency: 0.1 LOT = -25,000 yen; 0.01 LOT = -2,500 yen Example: To keep a single loss within -5%, with funds of 1,000,000 yen, use 0.04 LOT per currency (maximum -10,000 yen).

→ Maximum risk: 5 currencies simultaneously = -50,000 yen (-5%)

④Specify maximum number of positions (entry split)

MaximumPositions corresponding to the specified amount will be activated sequentially according to each method.Both entry and take-profit trigger at different timings, providing diversification of risk.There is a risk-diversification effect.

Normally, risk is reduced by lowering the lot size, but when you want to control risk by specifying the maximum number of positions, you can use this as well.

Example: Position-limited “1” means one position per currency.

Since the lot size and position count are easy to know in advance, risk management becomes easier and the behavior and trade history become simpler.
