In the USD/JPY market last week, we were able to capture about 480 PIPS of profit.
The method is simple,using a 4-hour pullback buy as
the standardtrend-following strategy.
Discretion is used to assess the environment, and in that direction
a trend-focused EA was kept running.
The key point this time is the price movement after a plunge caused by fundamental factors.
After the plunge, selling completes, followed by a rebound,
and it was judged that it would easily turn upward.
It was considered to be a situation prone to rising.
Rather than forcing counter-trend trades,“confirming the formation of the pullback”
we turn the EA on.
After entry, leave it to the EA to hold.
Do not stop at minor noise in the middle,
prioritize the trend’s expansion.
The stop decision is when the 4-hour pattern begins to shift from the trend into a range.
The momentum of new highs weakens, and the price range narrows.
At this point, the probability of a top zone is high, so the EA was stopped.
Not in continuous operation, but
・environment awareness
・confirmation of direction
・assessment of market phase
・EA on/off decision
are combined in four elements.
The EA is not万能, but when it aligns with the market flow, its reproducibility and stability become a strong weapon.
From now on, I will continue to operate the EA by adapting to the market.
