Two days ago, a review of yesterday's live trade and the continuation: I think pyramid-ing is a sweet poison, not medicine.

The day-before-yesterday's stream trade

And this is yesterday's stream trade

The difference lies in the settings of the operation-design EA, RUSING. At first I thought the day-before-yesterday's unruly trade would fail miserably, but it held up better than expected, so I figured it would be a perfect opportunity to explain RUSING's features, and I streamed again on the 23rd without changing the indicator settings.

The changes are as follows

・Made the pillar lot fixed (0.02) instead of applying a coefficient

・Stopped applying 1.5x to the main lots after a stop-out

・Stopped anti-sign settlement

・Applied 50SMA MT F1H as a filter

・Basket settlement set to +500 yen

・and so on

During the streamed trades, profits accumulated smoothly, generating about 12,500 yen in roughly an hour. However, I expected the profits to decrease after the stream, and my prediction was correct. The gist is that the price hovered near the filter, forming a range, and when that happens there’s a higher chance it moves in the opposite direction before taking profits.

At the same time, you can stop entering at areas likely to range and just quit. If I put it bluntly, even if the indicator settings are in a silly state, with proper RUSING settings and management, it can still be usable—that seems to be what this validation showed. Now, here are the results as of now. I’ve kept it running continuously.

It’s turning out to be usable in a normal way, aren’t it? It’s far better than those who post unclear data and boast without even performing such transparent validations.

By the way, I told you I was no longer a Gold trader, but I finish trading by 21:00 NY time. That’s why I do stream trades. What I want to convey is that it’s surprising to me that this performance is achievable even during NY time. After all, by the Asia session’s end, I’m already nearly 50,000 yen in profit (including last night’s losses). With this level of profit, I wouldn’t even trade Europe time.

“Even if you say you won’t trade, since it’s an EA, you’ll keep trading unless you stop, right?” “Since I go to work every day, I can only trade during NY time!” That’s a reasonable sentiment. However, because I want to avoid looking at charts or being in front of charts as much as possible, RUSING includes a stop time function (configurable across three time zones) and a profit-limit setting (entry stops once the set profit is reached), among other features.

There’s also a setting to stop when stop-losses accumulate. It’s engineered to protect the account thoroughly. So you can stop entering trades once a daily target profit is reached.

Next, to the main topic.

This is also yesterday's trade. At 14:30 there was a chart movement that was exactly easy to explain.

【April 23: Around 14:30 Japan time chart】

At that moment, the SELL direction surged strongly and produced a lower wick. This is a situation where the pyramid-ing bug tends to occur. Some traders closed out all entries at the deepest point of the lower wick, while others had all entries closed around the red arrows, resulting in differences in profit and loss.

And many profit-boosting pyramiding tools simply exploit this bug. I’m the developer, and I test under various conditions, so I would say there’s a 90–99% accuracy. The problem is that some people don’t understand this bug, and some notice it but accept it as okay.

There’s no excuse. Isn’t this a tool that anyone could use to trade the same way? At the very least, I think broker information, connection speed, trading conditions, and residency should be stated on the landing page to allow replicating the exact same conditions.

If it’s a tool that yields explosive profits by pyramid-ing, then...

This is where I say pyramid-ing is a sweet but dangerous poison. Well, there are other tools too, but that ties into the core reason I developed RUSING in the first place.

Since this is a valuable topic, I may even post a YouTube video about it. If I do, I’ll also change the channel name. Streaming alone won’t attract viewers, so I want to provide something that at least some viewers will enjoy. So, I’ll stream again today. I’m considering whether to continue this as a series or prepare something else.
