☆ Settings that require configuration

① Open 5 hourly charts for 5 currencies and install the EA

This EA is for simultaneous operation of 5 currencies: USDJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD, GBPJPY, GBPUSD.

(Installing on only one chart will not enable simultaneous operation of 5 currencies)

The swap-focused EA (69233) is for 3 currencies USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY to operate simultaneously.

It is not a problem to operate with any one currency, but operating all 5 currencies at once yields maximum performance.

By operating 5 currencies simultaneously, not only the increased number of trades boosts revenue but also diversification of risk and timing stabilizes performance.② Tools → Options → Set Max Bars to 20000This EA references historical candlesticks, so you need to set a higher max bars.③ Set the lot sizeThe lot size shown on the sales page is only the display default.Please always confirm and adjust the lot size for risk management.Maximum risk per single currency trade1 currency: 0.1 LOT = -20,000 yen, 0.01 LOT = -2,000 yenChoose whether to use simple interest or compound interestSimple interest: base lot becomes the lot sizeCompound interest: as balance increases from trade results, the lot size increases proportionally.To understand exactly how many lots you’ll have,the configured lot size is displayed on the chart.ExampleBase lot: 0.02Balance: 1,000,000Compound balance threshold (increase each time): 100,000 yenAdditional lot size: 0.01In this case, compound lot size becomes 0.12 LOTFormula: additional lot = 0.1 LOTBase lot 0.02 + additional compound lot 0.1 = 0.12 LOT➃ Specify maximum number of positions (entry split)(Default: 5, max 8)Up to the maximum number of positions, positions will be activated per strategy.Entry and take-profit will trigger at different times, providing risk diversification.There is a risk diversification effect.Normally, risk is reduced by lowering lot size, butyou may want to control risk by specifying the maximum number of positions.Example: Position-limited "1": restrict to one position per currency.Since lot sizes and positions are known in advance,risk management is easier and the behavior/trading history becomes simpler.Important⑤Enable Day Trading settings(Swap-focused and Rezisapo reversal products do not include day trading)Note: Day trading does not operate for these.Note: Day trading is the only one that may settle at the end of the day (early morning 5-6). Currently, EURUSD and GBPUSD require manual settings when applying EA or during version upgrades.Default settings: Buy is carried over (with swap), sell is not carried over.Modify the settings: default is to hold buys; you can adjust as needed.Overall, Day trading settlements are handled automatically when applying the EA for EURUSD and GBPUSD, but manual settings may be required during upgrades.Buy: carryover with swaps; Sell: do not carry overImportant♢EURUSD settingsWhen applying the EA or upgrading, manual configuration is requiredWith these settings, positions opened by day trading areautomaticallysold+ swap direction only, enabling efficient profitability.Buynegative swapwill be closed before it occurs.Important♢GBPUSD settingsWhen applying the EA or upgrading, manual configuration is required each timeBecause both buy and sell incur swap (as of 2026-02-07), set for one-day settlement.♢ For swap-free accountsWhether to settle buys and sells within one day can be chosen arbitrarily.• For profit-focused strategies, set both Buy and Sell to FALSE. For risk-focused strategies, set both Buy and Sell to TRUE.⑥ Configure MT4⑦ Maintain MT4♢ EA version upgrade procedureEA is periodically upgraded.

It rarely enters or settles positionsA. Compared to scalping, everything feels longer.On average, hold time is about 8 hours. Positions may be held for nearly a week, during which negative swaps may be sizable.Also, when entry timing arrives, it tends to enter in bursts, sometimes not entering for 2-3 days to a week.Q. Large unrealized losses may cause anxietyA. When large losses occur, MT4 may seem unstable if it cannot cut losses promptly.Please confirm there are no wrong positions on hand.♢ Check of Open PositionsWhen using this EA on a real account, you can verify on the sales page history that entries occurred.Append “#lz-forward” to the end of the sales page URL to jump to trading history quickly..Example:https://www.gogojungle.co.jp/systemtrade/fx/69075#lz-forwardPlease assign the product number to the green portionAfter purchase, you can verify whether your positions are operating normally, whether entry times and held positions are correct.Note: Fill times may vary by environment and account, by a few minutes.Note: Depending on when you implemented the EA, profit-taking timing may vary.Note: These differences may lead to situations like “GogoJungle page shows trades but you didn’t enter” or “trades entered by you but not shown on the page.”Such occurrences are common phenomenon.☆ Other possible issues (not EA-related)① After restart, chart parameter fields (especially time fields) may be blank due to MT4 behavior.In that case, resetting restores the display.

It resolves when broker trading hours resume.④ MT4 is running and appears active, but the EA is not functioning.Open positions remain unsettled for a long time, which is unnatural.This is not an EA problem but an MT4 application-wide issue.If the PC is under heavy load, MT4 may be pushed toward a stop.To prevent this,preferably restart once a week to re-recognize the EA. If settlements have passed, the EA may start working and settle immediately after reboot.☆ FAQsQ. Is it okay to run during major economic indicators?Q.

② Tools → Options → Set Max Bars to 20000

This EA references historical candlesticks, so you need to set a higher max bars.

③ Set the lot size

The lot size shown on the sales page is only the display default.

Please always confirm and adjust the lot size for risk management.

Maximum risk per single currency trade1 currency: 0.1 LOT = -20,000 yen, 0.01 LOT = -2,000 yen 

Choose whether to use simple interest or compound interest

Simple interest: base lot becomes the lot size

Compound interest: as balance increases from trade results, the lot size increases proportionally.

To understand exactly how many lots you’ll have,the configured lot size is displayed on the chart.

Example

Base lot: 0.02

Balance: 1,000,000

Compound balance threshold (increase each time): 100,000 yen

Additional lot size: 0.01

In this case, compound lot size becomes 0.12 LOT

Formula: additional lot = 0.1 LOT

Base lot 0.02 + additional compound lot 0.1 = 0.12 LOT

➃ Specify maximum number of positions (entry split)

(Default: 5, max 8)

Up to the maximum number of positions, positions will be activated per strategy.There is a risk diversification effect.

Normally, risk is reduced by lowering lot size, butyou may want to control risk by specifying the maximum number of positions.

Example: Position-limited "1": restrict to one position per currency.

Since lot sizes and positions are known in advance,risk management is easier and the behavior/trading history becomes simpler.

Important⑤Enable Day Trading settings

(Swap-focused and Rezisapo reversal products do not include day trading)Note: Day trading does not operate for these.

Note: Day trading is the only one that may settle at the end of the day (early morning 5-6). Currently, EURUSD and GBPUSD require manual settings when applying EA or during version upgrades.

Default settings: Buy is carried over (with swap), sell is not carried over.

Modify the settings: default is to hold buys; you can adjust as needed.

Buy: carryover with swaps; Sell: do not carry over

Important♢EURUSD settings When applying the EA or upgrading, manual configuration is required

Overall, Day trading settlements are handled automatically when applying the EA for EURUSD and GBPUSD, but manual settings may be required during upgrades.With these settings, positions opened by day trading areautomaticallysold+ swap direction only, enabling efficient profitability.Buynegative swapwill be closed before it occurs.

Important♢GBPUSD settings When applying the EA or upgrading, manual configuration is required each time

Because both buy and sell incur swap (as of 2026-02-07), set for one-day settlement.

♢ For swap-free accounts

Whether to settle buys and sells within one day can be chosen arbitrarily.

⑥ Configure MT4

⑦ Maintain MT4

♢ EA version upgrade procedure

EA is periodically upgraded. An email with the subject "Important" will be sent from Gogojungle.

Upgrading can be done while positions are held.

After deleting the old EA, apply the new EA.

At that time, you need to configure lot size and day trading settings, etc.

♢ MT4 upgrade procedure

Separately from automated trading EAs, MT4 itself may be upgraded periodically. Skipping this may cause automated trading to stop functioning.

Please follow emails from FX brokers such as "Please upgrade" regarding upgrading.

⑧ Keep MT4 running

To monitor MT4 status continuously, in addition to daily checks on PC or smartphone, it is recommended to use REALTRADE to receive MT4 running stoppage alerts.

☆Checks after MT4 restart (not an issue with this EA) If restarted, do not abruptly force quit; exit MT4 using normal procedures and perform the following checks each time.・

・

→ It may occur that only 1 out of 10 is applied.

・DLL check is present (at least one chart per MT4)→ Sometimes the check may be cleared after restart.Bottom-right network receive graph is functioning→If old version or common error appears, MT4 is not running.These issues can occur due to MT4 platform, trading environment, server load, or unstable internet connection.As an MT4 usage note, please check this at least once a week if possible.  

⑨ Verify the Magic Number

The number must be different from other EAs.

If you are using only this product EA, same magic number can be used across multiple currencies. It can be used with default settings without changes.

 If using other EAs, set a different number to avoid management mistakes.

Numbers vary by product.

☆ Other features(settings are possible butmostly unnecessary to change in parameters)♢ Spread filterSet the allowable spread at entry (within a range).

Default: 2.0; recommended = MT4 spread display "20"

Apart from spread, accounts with fees may require even stricter settings

♢ Method on/off feature (not available for all products) Restrict operation to your preferred method and test all options.
