[For Buyers] Is your "risk setting" really correct? The correct way to face risk that you should know to continue using EA trading
It is now on sale and highly acclaimed.
⚠️ First, an important report and apology
Recently, the blog updates had stopped. I am really sorry ?
Actually…… it wasn’t just because I was lazy (laughs).
In the past few weeks, I’ve been chasing a certain “hypothesis.”A hypothesisthat could lead to a profit curve of an entirely different dimension from before if this logic holds.
“If this logic holds, we could draw a profit curve with an entirely different dimension from what we’ve had.”
— I realized this one evening while watching the market.
Since then, I’ve been validating tirelessly, rewriting code, and re-testing… repeatedly.
I can’t say it’s “finished” yet. But I feel a solid sense of progress.
If there is a problem, it’s not about whether it will “definitely work,” buthow far we can push performanceto go.
In other words, it’s no longer a matter of “whether it can win.” ?
Soon, I think I can report on this new update. Please look forward to it.
? Things to try while waiting for the update
Actually, there’s a topic closely related to this update, so I’ll share it first.
For those working with a demo account, please try this experiment once.
How to set
- Set rule settings to ‘no rule’
- Set ‘Stop EA after achieving total profit per trade’ to “false”
With this state, run Grid mode all day ?
What will happen?
If successful, you may see surprisingly large profits accumulate.
There may be moments when you think, “This is the best!”
However—at some point, the market will enter a truly bad position.
And you’ll experience either a miserable drawdown or a cascade of stop losses… That’s what you should experience.
This comes from the structural flaw of the Grid mode.
Grid mode is a very interesting mechanism that can aim for gains whether the market moves up or down.
However, if you keep it running, there will inevitably be times when you enter at extreme market conditions.
If you set risk to be lower in those times, you’ll quickly hit the stop-loss line.
That’s why risk settings must be tailored to each individual’s financial situation.
And another reason we’ve designed this EA to restrict certain entry points to some extent is to compensate for that flaw.
Instead of taking every position, you enter only in favorable situations—that’s how stable operations are achieved.
And what the current update intends to do is precisely here.
Keep the direction of “further narrowing of entry moments” as is, and incorporate a mechanism that yields explosive profits. By balancing these two, we aim for a performance one step above what we’ve had ?
It’s still under development, but it’s no longer a matter of whether you can win.
It’s about how far we can push it.
Please stay tuned for more updates!
Now, today I wrote this article not only to share updates, but also to reiterate some important points for buyers during a break in developing this “new rules.”
The theme is “risk settings.”
? What exactly is “risk”?
The word “risk” is used as a matter-of-course in FX, isn’t it?
But when asked again, there aren’t many who can answer accurately.
Literally, it means “the possibility of loss,” but I think of it more simply this way.
Risk is about deciding in advance how much you could lose in the worst case.
And there’s another important concept.
There is no investment with zero risk.
I can assert this: phrases like “principal guaranteed,” “absolutely profitable,” or “no losses”
And this is true for FX as well.
What’s important is not to make risk zero, butto set it so that you can retreat to a safe position even if the risk becomes real.
? Carrying risk vs. recklessness is a different thing
Saying you “carry risk” sounds scary, right? Yet this holds true in business and investing alike.
If you open a restaurant, there are initial costs, procurement, labor… all of it is risk. But that doesn’t mean you should not open the shop, because you won’t earn money otherwise.
FX is the same. The market moves, and you can misread it.
There can be drawdowns.
But not trading won’t grow your assets either.
Risks should be managed, not avoided.
The fundamental idea behind building this EA is exactly here.
After accepting that you may lose, design it so that even if you do, the damage is shallow—this is the philosophy behind this tool ?
? How to think about setting a “risk amount”
Now, here is the main topic.
This EA has a function to set risk relative to the account balance.
For example, if you have 100,000 yen in your account and set risk to 1%, the lot size is automatically calculated so that the maximum loss per trade is 1,000 yen.
Here is a common misunderstanding.
“Since the EA will handle it, isn’t it fine to take higher risk?”
That’s not correct.
The EA does not eliminate risk.
It changes risk into a form that is easier to manage.
So how should you set risk?
I’ll share my important approach concretely.
✅ Step 1: Understand your real liquid assets
First, consider what portion of your wealth is represented by the money in your FX account.
For example, look at cases like these.
Case A:You have 5 million yen in a bank, but only 100,000 yen in your FX account.
Case B:There’s almost no money in the bank. Your liquid assets are only 100,000 yen, all of which you’ve put into the FX account.
Both have “account balance of 100,000 yen,” but the risk settings should be completely different.
Case A can withstand losing all 100,000 yen without affecting daily life.
That means higher risk settings to aim for more aggressive profits can be considered.
In EA terms, setting risk to about 5–10% would be fine if the person agrees to it.
On the other hand, Case B is different.
If the 100,000 yen is your only liquid asset, losing it could impact daily life.
We must absolutely avoid someone from risking 100% in one shot.
This isn’t investing; it becomes gambling ?
✅ Step 2: Ask whether you can recover even if risk becomes a reality
The essence of risk settings isn’t to decide how much you can lose, but to decide how much you can fall back to even if you lose. Do you understand this difference?
The idea of “I can lose, so I’ll risk it” implies resignation to losing everything.
What I want to say is: can you still aim for the next opportunity after losing this amount?
To be specific.
Suppose you have 100,000 yen in your account and set risk to 20% (20,000 yen).
Two days of bad results lead to a 20,000 yen loss.
Can you restart with the remaining 80,000 yen? If you can say “yes,” that setting suits you.
But if losing 20,000 yen makes you mentally unfit to judge properly, that risk setting is too high. Lower it.
A common trait of people who trade for a long time is,“not exiting”.
As long as you don’t exit, the next opportunity will surely come.
This EA also shines when used long-term. For that, sensible risk settings are the first step ?
✅ Step 3: Risk settings when using Hedge mode
This EA includes three types of hedge modes.
A hedge function acts like insurance when a position goes against you.
However, one caution here.
When using hedge mode, you should set risk slightly higher.
Because hedging is a mechanism to cover losses, it involves holding additional positions.
If your risk setting is too low, the hedge lot size becomes too small to function properly.
Still, even though you should set it higher, don’t overdo it.
It’s about staying within your own asset situation with a bit of leeway.
Also, around major economic indicator releases when liquidity is extremely high (U.S. jobs data, CPI, etc.), it’s strongly recommended to pause automated trading of the EA, including hedge mode.
No matter how excellent the logic, calculations can go awry during abnormal volatility ⚠️
? Who should consider “100% risk” as the correct approach, and who shouldn’t
As briefly mentioned earlier, there are cases where setting risk to 100% becomes the correct choice.
For example, “this FX account is play money for a game.”
If you have ample other savings and losing everything here wouldn’t hurt, setting 100% and trading aggressively can be a strategy.
Conversely, if you want to set to 100% but feel uneasy about it, honor that unease. That intuition is telling you that this setting isn’t right for you.
The essence of FX is to develop the ability to choose a risk level that suits you.
This EA can automate the risk calculation, butthe final decision of which risk to choose is made by you, humans.
? The design philosophy of “working even with small funds”
This EA is designed to be usable with around 100,000 yen of capital.
Some people might think, “If it’s a small amount, you must take bigger risks to matter.”
But that’s a misconception.
Precisely because it’s small, you can focus on learning the system by operating with lower risk.
Automatic lot size calculation, hedge mode behavior, how profits accumulate in grid mode… experiencing these with a small amount first is a shortcut to long-term profits.
“Don’t cling to piling up pips” — this is one of the principles this EA advocates.
Rather than trying to take large profits in a single trade, you manage risk and steadily realize profits.
That accumulation makes a big difference after six months to a year ?
? Summary: How to manage risk effectively
Finally, I’ll summarize what I shared today in three points.
① There is no investment with zero risk. Controlling risk is the essence of investing.
② Set risk based on your own asset状況
③ Long-term sustainability. That’s the best way to draw out the true power of this EA.
