【Market News】The Reason I Am Currently Fully Stopping Auto Trading and the Milestones for Restarting

Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Jerusalem.

I usually trade primarily in Nikkei 225 CFDs and GOLD, focusing on system trading (EA).

My method is automated forward-trading of my favorite indicators (primarily products from HappyAngel) entirely through the “Loop-Turnaround_EA” I offer.

Now, I have completely halted all trades (EA operation).

The reason is clear: due to the intensification of tensions in Iran since the end of February, market volatility has reached an abnormal level.

In fact, from January to February this year, GOLD EA operations were a big hit, and the account funds doubled in just two months.

I withdrew the principal entirely and switched to a completely risk-free operation using only the profits, but the recent turmoil (rollercoaster) wiped out the remaining profits.

Because I had withdrawn the principal, the actual damage was zero, but it shows how dangerous the current market is.

A superb EA can buy and sell exactly as signs indicate, but the only thing that can power down when it’s “dangerous now” is our human discretion (capital management).

[When to restart?]

Just the words from President Trump aren’t enough to determine a conclusion of the war, right?

I decided to use the Nikkei VIX index (fear index) as a measure of market calmness.

I will consider restarting EA operations when the current abnormal values drop and settle toward the “early 30s,” indicating the end of the war (normalization of the market environment).

As the saying goes, “Even resting is trading,” now is not the time to push hard and melt capital.

Everyone, please be very careful with lot sizing and face the market with caution.
