It is said that 70% of the market is range-bound (sideways), and even in environments where a trend is forming, prices do not move in a straight line. There will always be a “pullback” after an “overextension.”

This time we introduce the **‘Trend-Reverse(Moon)_USDJPY(H1)’, as the name suggestsis a 1-hour (H1) EA dedicated to USDJPY that specializes in accurately capturing trend reversals.

1. Why the “1-hour chart (H1)”?

While many EAs use shorter timeframes such as 5 minutes or 15 minutes, this work deliberately adopts the **1-hour chart (H1)**. There is a clear reason for this.

• Elimination of noise: Avoids the common “false signals” of short timeframes and extracts only high-confidence signals.

• Capture big waves: By not being swayed by noise, it aims to capture the market’s large swings (reversal points) to target a satisfying profit range (pips) in a single move.

2. Core of the Logic: Trend Reversal

If trend-following is like “jumping on a moving train,” then the logic of this EA, contrarian trading (reversal), is a counter-punch to pull back before striking hard.

• Detecting “overextension”: Uses indicators to analyze market overheating (overbought/oversold).

• Advantageous entries: Enter after pulling back to points with high reversal potential, delivering a strong balance of win rate and risk-reward.

• Strong even in range markets: In boxed areas without a trend, it can still place profits by targeting rebounds on both sides.

3. Three benefits of operation

1. Diversification of the portfolioFor those who mainly use trend-following EAs, this contrarian EA provides the best hedge. In range markets and during trend reversals where trend-following EAs struggle, this EA complements by covering profits.

2. Strength in USDJPY specializationFocusing on USDJPY, the second most traded pair worldwide, makes technical analysis more effective and reduces incidents caused by sudden moves.

3. Lower-stress operationWith an hourly base, position holding times tend to be longer than scalping, but entry precision is higher, and unnecessary entries that cause nerves to fray are reduced.

4. Actual performance
