Nice to meet you. I am 投資郎, the chief researcher at FX Logic Institute. At our institute, our philosophy is to understand the market not by sense, but by "logic," and we conduct research and development of reproducible trading methods and systems. The market changes daily, but there are universal aspects to human psychology and the essence of the market. We verity that essence, and by performing numerous chart analyses, backtests, and forward tests, we aim to shape "logic that can be used for a long time." Beyond FX, domestically and internationally, we operate multiple businesses including: IT/Web system development Web marketing Application development Real estate investment Travel and tour services We move our base of operations rather than staying fixed, traveling between Japan and many countries around the world as we work. What is common across various industries is: "reproducing results with data and mechanisms rather than intuition." This mindset applies directly to FX as well. To date, we have provided indicators and expert advisors (EAs) to over 1,000 traders, and have offered numerous individual support and consulting services. Of course, tools alone cannot guarantee profits. However, "why that logic?" "which market conditions offer an edge?" "in what situations should it not be used?" We place importance on communicating these honestly. What FX Logic Institute aims for is not tools for short-term gains, but logic that you can engage with for a long time. Rather than flashy ads or exaggerated expressions, we strive to create products that you can be convinced of the more you use them. Thank you very much in advance.

Gold Canon Update | Growth setting considering spread and external handling fees (Signals v1.08)

Gold Canon Signals v1.08 updates explained.

The theme this time is reflecting spread and external fees in the timing of profit-taking on the signal side. The concept of arrows on the chart and the basic use of semi-automatic EA remain the same as before.

※ Panel numbers and settlement signals are approximations based on internal logic. They do not perfectly match live account spreads, slippage, or executions. They do not guarantee performance or profits.

1. Why this setting is necessary

Gold moves a lot, and the spread impact is also clearly visible. There are also differences depending on the account type.

  • Accounts without external fees (so-called Standard accounts, etc.)… the main cost is the spread

  • Accounts with external fees (so-called Raw/ECN types, etc.)… in addition to the spread, there are round-trip fees

Even if you settle exactly at the price, there are situations in actual operation where fees and spreads make it hard to keep the profit. In v1.08, we set this premise with parameters to allow extending the profit-taking settlement a bit further.

2. Added settings

In the area near the input parameter “Cost / profit extension,” you will find the following.

Item

Content

FeeMode

No external fees / Yes

CommissionPerLotRT

Round-trip fee per 1.0 lot (account currency). Enabled when “Yes.”

SpreadCoverPips

Pips equivalent to spread to clear before profit-taking settlement (0 to turn off)

Target files: Gold Canon Signals v1.08
Semi-automatic EA: Semi Linked v1.02 can still be used as is (no replacement needed)

3. How it behaves (image)

It works for profits-side settlements such as trailing, recovery, and BB climax. Profit-side settlement.

  • No-fee + smaller spread cover … a setting that makes near-entry settlements easier to tolerate

  • With fees + amount input, or larger spread cover … aware of that cost, it is easier to push the profit signal back

On the other hand, stop loss and weekend settlements are not covered by the protection rules. Protect what you protect, and extend where you extend.

If you run the semi-automatic EA in RUN ON, settlements link to the signal settlement (×). As the settlement position on the signal side shifts backward, the semi-automatic settlement timing follows accordingly.

4. Guidance for settings

This is just a starting point. Optimal values vary by broker, account currency, and market conditions.

  • SpreadCoverPips
    In this tool 1 pip = 10 points.
    If the spread is 15 points, a rough guide is 1.5.
    If you want a margin, start around 1.5–2.0.

  • No external fees
    FeeMode = off. Commission is not used.

  • With external fees
    FeeMode = on.
    In account currency, enter the round-trip amount for 1.0 lot.
    If a JPY-denominated account, for example: if the published round-trip is 495 JPY per lot, enter 495.
    If denominated in USD, enter the round-trip in dollars (e.g., 7 dollars for a round-trip).

The most reliable method is to check the actual fee charged in MT5's trade history and convert it to a round-trip per 1.0 lot, then input it.

5. Replacement procedure (for purchasers)

  1. Place the distributed GoldCanon_Signals_Fast (v1.08) into the designated folder

  2. Compile in MetaEditor (F7)

  3. Detach the old chart signals and reattach the new Signals

  4. Set FeeMode / fees / SpreadCoverPips to match your account

  5. If using semi-automatic, attach the same chart with Semi Linked v1.02 and align the Mode

When viewing the statistics panel, you can specify the start and end with DATE_RANGE to extract only the period you want.

6. In closing

v1.08 reflects not only the visible pips, but also the costs by account type on the profit side to make it easier to reflect in signals.

Settings are not universal. Spreads fluctuate, and the panel is approximate. First, try values close to your account type, and compare with real operation to adjust.
