Gold EA Today's Performance

On April 2, gold (XAU/USD) continued the previous day's five-day rally and rose to around $4,804 intraday. However, in the afternoon a sharp drop occurred, plunging to the low $4,600s. Today marks the one-year anniversary of mutual tariff enforcement (Liberation Day equivalent) since 2025, and there were announcements and news related to U.S. trade policy that shook the markets.

The DXY moved under 100, but on the tariff anniversary the dollar became unstable. Gold tested the $4,800 level before a sharp drop, resulting in a wide price range. Although the March 23 low of $4,100 has seen a recovery rally, not maintaining the $4,800 level has raised near-term upside hesitation.

For Shōkinryū, the shift from rising to sharp decline was difficult. As a buy-only scalping EA, it accumulated multiple averaging-down positions during the drop, and as of 20:52 it held 13 positions with an unrealized loss of -150,763 JPY. However, margin maintenance is at 10,735%, indicating ample financial cushion.

Shōkinryū realized +2,214 JPY today. As of 20:52, it holds 13 positions with unrealized loss of -150,763 JPY. This results from the RSI (2) reacting multiple times during the day’s drop, triggering averaging-down entries.

Margin maintenance rate remains extremely high at 10,735.4%, providing ample financial cushion. For an account balance of 1,189,307 JPY, effective margin is 1,038,544 JPY. With the ATR dynamic averaging-down logic, each entry is uniformly 0.01 lots (total 0.13 lots), and the distance to the stop-loss remains sufficiently large even if the drop continues.

CHAOS_GOLD_LISKOFF_MT5 realized +16,400 JPY today. Thursday is a holiday (no new entries), so the two positions carried over from yesterday are currently holding a unrealized loss of -37,219 JPY. Margin maintenance rate is 76,307.2%, indicating ample financial headroom.

With an account balance of 1,181,064 JPY (yesterday: 1,164,664 JPY), there is an accumulation of realized profit +16,400 JPY. The marked drop today caused carried positions to move into unrealized losses, but CHAOS_GOLD uses a hedging structure (long and short). When the market moves with a clear direction, one side’s position will capture profit.

Today’s combined realized profit from 2 EAs was +18,614 JPY. Meanwhile, Shōkinryū holds 13 positions with -150,763 JPY unrealized, and CHAOS_GOLD holds 2 positions with -37,219 JPY unrealized, totaling -187,982 JPY unrealized loss at present.

As gold falls from the $4,800 range, Shōkinryū, a buy-only EA, continued averaging down. Both EAs maintain high margin levels, ensuring financial safety. If gold rebounds from today’s decline, unrealized losses will recover and realized profits will accumulate.

Attention on today’s gold rapid drop backdrop and upcoming developments. The drop after testing $4,800 may reflect profit-taking and reactions to tariff anniversary announcements. Supports to watch include around $4,600 and $4,538 (mid-term pivot).

Tomorrow 4/3 (Fri) CHAOS_GOLD will be active. However, as Friday is NFP Friday (4/4) with the following day being a holiday in the US/EU, we will proceed with caution for new positions. Shōkinryū’s priority is managing the 13 current positions’ unrealized losses, aiming for a decisive exit on any rebound.
