★Domestic Account★ Available Semi-Discretionary EA Tiger White Tiger
Introduction
Now that overseas FX has become harder to use, we verified whether it can be used with a "domestic account."
Recently,
-
Countermeasures against money laundering
-
International capital movement regulations
-
Withdrawal/deposit limits and freezing risks with overseas FX brokers
As a result,
“Opening overseas accounts is becoming difficult.”
“Deposits and withdrawals take time.”
“Moving funds feels psychologically uneasy.”
many people may feel this way.
Therefore, this time,
“Can the semi-discretionary EA Byakko be operated with a domestic FX account?”
We willverify this with numbers, not just sensation.
Why verify with a “domestic account” this time
In short,
Overseas FX offers more freedom
However
If a design can work with a domestic account, isn’t it easier for everyone to use?
This is the point.
Among domestic FX brokers this time,
MT4 compatible and automated trading is possible,
FXTFas reference conditions.
Note: The numbers may vary depending on the broker and market environment. Please understand and verify with your own account you use.
Merits and demerits of domestic FX accounts
Merits of domestic accounts
① There is trust preservation
If something goes wrong with the broker,
the deposited funds are basically fully protected.
② Deposits/withdrawals are fast and keeping in yen is easy
Less tax/financial management stress is a major advantage.
Disadvantages of domestic accounts (important)
On the other hand, domestic accounts come with clear constraints.
-
Maximum leverage:25x
-
No zero-cut:None
-
If the required margin maintenance rate falls below a certain levelautomatic stop-out
In other words,
If you operate with the same mindset as overseas, you will surely encounter a disaster
This is the reality of domestic accounts.
What to absolutely avoid because it’s a domestic account
This is very important, so I will state it clearly.
❌ Increase lots by feel
❌ Hopeful assumptions like “this time it will be okay”
❌ Operate without watching the margin maintenance rate
❌ Design not assuming the maximum drawdown
If you do this with a domestic account,
it will head straight to bankruptcy.
That’s why this time,
we will premised on a defensive design from the start.
This time’s proposed “Domestic-Account Compatible Martingale Operation”
Assumptions (realistic settings)
-
Margin:1,000,000 yen
-
Currency pair:XAUUSD (Gold)
-
Initial lot:0.01 lots
-
Martingale method:2x
-
Loss per trade:About 1,500 yen
-
Maximum martingale steps:5 times (stop after 5 consecutive losses)
Why stop at 5 consecutive losses
This is not sensation,it’s a calculation result.
Lot size and loss progression (5 consecutive losses)
| Consecutive losses | Lot | Cumulative loss |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.01 | −1,500 yen |
| 2 | 0.02 | −4,500 yen |
| 3 | 0.04 | −10,500 yen |
| 4 | 0.08 | −22,500 yen |
| 5 | 0.16 | −46,500 yen |
・Fixed loss after 5 consecutive losses: about 46,000 yen
Against 1,000,000 yen margin,
kept within a range that would not be a fatal blow.
“Even if you stop after 5 consecutive losses, can you still be profitable over a year?”
This is likely the most concerning point.
Assumptions
-
Annual number of trades:1,500
-
Win rate:57% (based on 2025 data for one year)
-
Number of times that 5 consecutive losses occur:2 times per year
Annual loss (worst case)
Annual profit (conservative calculation)
Wins:
Even if the minimum profit per win is1,500 yen,
Annual total profit and loss
?There is a very high possibility of being positive year-round
Why this design is suited for “domestic accounts”
-
Maximum loss is predetermined
-
Not breaking the margin maintenance rate
-
Minimizing the risk of additional margin calls
-
A clear “stop rule”
In other words,
Not a design to keep winning, but a design to survive
to keep surviving
This is the top priority for domestic accounts.
When to stop EA operation in domestic accounts
Up to here, I have explained a numerically based operation design, but
the most important thing in domestic accounts is the decision to not operate.
Unlike overseas accounts, domestic accounts have
-
No zero-cut
-
There is a margin-call risk
-
Leverage is limited to 25x and the margin maintenance range is narrow
as a premise.
Therefore,
“Do not engage in the market during volatile times or conditions from the start”
This mindset is indispensable.
① Do not run the EA during economic indicator releases
When U.S. employment statistics, CPI, FOMC, and other important indicators are released,
-
Spreads widen suddenly
-
Slippage in executions
-
Momentary surges or drops
tend to occur,
creating the most unfavorable environment for EAs.
For domestic accounts, the impact is especially large, so
-
Before indicators: Pause the EA
-
If you already have positions:
?Close in advance or reduce to minimum risk
This rule is mandatory.
② Do not enter new positions around weekend closes
What you want to avoid in domestic FX is
holding positions over the weekend.
The reasons are clear:
-
Open gap at the start of the week
-
Geopolitical risk over the weekend
-
Low liquidity immediately after Monday open
These can cause rapid changes where
loss cuts may not catch up.
Therefore,
-
Weekend close: no new entries
-
If holding: generally close
as a basic rule.
③ Do not participate forcibly in sharp uptrends or downtrends
Gold (XAUUSD) particularly
-
Moves strongly in one direction quickly
-
Price can spike temporarily
has these characteristics.
In such situations,
Not “Because it’s moving, there’s a chance”
but
“Because it’s moving, it’s dangerous.”
In domestic accounts,
protecting capital is far more important than chasing profits
than trying to seize every possible gain.
Why think with such stringent conditions
Having read to this point,
“Honestly, isn’t this too cautious?”
some may feel.
However, this is deliberatelydesigned under very strict conditions.
-
Leverage 25x
-
Margin call risk present
-
Clear stop-out level
-
Calculations based on worst-case
Summary
Even with domestic accounts, operation is “possible.”
With Martingale reset-equipped Byakko, this yields results that apply domestically and overseas.
-
Domestic accounts have many constraints
-
However
If designed based on numbers, operation is fully feasible -
The rule to stop after 5 consecutive lossesenables domestic-account operation to be viable
Of course, if Martingale works, it suggests that compounding or fixed-lot operations without Martingale may also be viable.
Instead of compromising because overseas FX isn’t usable, adapt to a workable environment. This is key.
In domestic accounts, for a safety-first operation, achieving this profit rate may be rare.
