■2019 Monthly Analysis
This year's monthly analysis goes up to March; January was strong. February seemed weak, but March appears to be recovering. Depending on conditions, there may be months with negative results.
PFisthe win rate is70% and I think it is an excellent EA.
Basically operates 24 hours, so risk increases during events such as indicator releases.
In particular, during times when operators cannot respond, such as overnight, if there is event risk of large price moves, it is best to stop the EA.

（4.5）＋（3.5×2）＝11.5（ten-thousand yen） result.

■Monthly and yearly profit/loss
Looking at the monthly results, the total is positive, but there are periods of significant losses.
When comparing forward and backtests, there isn't a big difference, but the drawdown percentage is larger in the forward test, so you should be careful when actually operating. Since the margin and drawdown amounts are small,24-hour operation riskshould be easy for EA beginners to understand and use.
