〜 Trading Rules 〜

To compare monthly performance, this must be calculated using the same criteria every month.

The main aggregation conditions this time are as follows.

・Trade only EURUSD
・Target scenes where an L Signal is displayed
・Take profit and stop loss are based on recent highs and lows
・Trading risk per trade: 【〇%】
・Positioning rules: 【as described】
・Indicator timing rules: 【as described】
・Spread: 【excluded】
・Trading hours: 【as described】

When posting actual results, we will clearly state under what conditions trades were made every month.

If the trading rules change, the same signal can yield different results.

【Creator – Leo's Personal Evaluation】

｜Neither good nor bad... after turning, a bit weaker

This month yielded a rather subtle result.

But we will take the positive aspects as a plus.

August saw a retracement at daily, 4-hour, and long-term levels.

It was a period where a temporary retracement occurs in a so-called downtrend.

In a market that is hard to call a trend,

Daily selling
4-hour selling
1-hour buying

Given the volatility, it was a challenging market for all kinds of signals to perform optimally.

In practice, I also skipped some trades, and I felt that short-term buying could be okay, but I lacked confidence to hold long-term selling.

However, September may trigger a long-term rebound, with a large drop possible at the 4-hour and daily levels, so I am hopeful!

But... as of writing on September 3, the cross-yen has collapsed...

What is L Signal? 5 Signals to Target Various Market Phases
EURUSD-exclusive tool

Hello, I’m Leo.

This time, based on my FX experience, I will introduce in detail the EURUSD-exclusive signal tool “L Signals.”
When you hear signal tools, you might imagine,

“If a signal appears, just trade as is.”

However, markets have trends and ranges.

There are periods of strong upward movement that eventually reverse at a peak or trough.

Therefore, L Signals uses five signals—Rei-shiki, Ichi-shiki, Ni-shiki, San-shiki, Shi-shiki—to target different market situations.

In the latter part of this article, we will sequentially explain:

・What kind of tool is L Signals
・What differences exist among the five signals
・What results were obtained in past verifications
・What to be mindful of when actually using it

in order.

L Signals is a EURUSD-only signal tool

L Signals is a MT4 signal tool that targets only EURUSD.

Instead of monitoring multiple currency pairs and identifying the currency to trade each time, it focuses analysis on EURUSD.

Concentrating on a single pair offers advantages such as:

・Less confusion about which currency to trade
・Ability to confirm similar price movement of the same currency
・Easier to validate the characteristics of each signal
・Easier to compare past trades with current market conditions

L Signals is not simply including five types to increase the signal count.

Each type handles different timeframes and market phases, designed to seek multiple opportunities within EURUSD.

Why are five signals necessary?

The market does not always move in the same way.

In range markets with no clear direction, trend-following signals may underperform.

Conversely, in strong trends, continually aiming for tops and bottoms can become counter-trend trading.

Therefore, in L Signals, we do not rely on a single signal for everything; signals are divided by the market phase.

Using five signals allows targeting different scenarios:

・Reversals within a range
・Pullbacks and retracements on the 15-minute chart
・Pullbacks and retracements on the 1-hour chart
・Transformations at the 4-hour level
・Major tops and bottoms

This is why L Signals is described as the “five greedy signals.”

⚫︎ Rei-shiki｜Targeting Range-Bound Reversals

Rei-shiki is strong in range-bound markets.

Typically over 300 signals per year, Rei-shiki is among the signals with relatively high frequency in L Signals.

It commonly appears on the 15-minute and 1-hour charts where prices may form short-term highs or lows.

Rei-shiki features:

・Targets reversals in ranges
・Over 300 signals per year expected
・Frequently appears at 15-minute and 1-hour highs/lows
・Many signals make it easy to identify trading candidates
・Uses recent highs/lows to structure risk-reward

This is the point.

However, in strong trending conditions, reversals intended for ranges may underperform.

⚫︎ Ichi-shiki｜Targeting 1-Hour Pullbacks and Retracements

Annual signal occurrences are roughly around 100 times.

Rather than chasing short-term moves, it follows the 1-hour flow and aims for price retracements once.

Ichi-shiki features:

・Tries trades aligned with the 1-hour trend
・Focusing on pullbacks and retracements
・Approximately 100 signals per year
・Sometimes aims for larger price moves than Rei-shiki
・Risk is easier to set using recent highs/lows

This signal is particularly useful when the 1-hour direction is clear.

⚫︎ Ni-shiki｜Targeting 15-Minute Pullbacks and Retracements

Ni-shiki targets pullbacks and retracements on the 15-minute chart.

Annual signal occurrences are roughly 100 times.

The major difference from Ichi-shiki is the timeframe targeted.

While Ichi-shiki focuses on the 1-hour flow, Ni-shiki seeks relatively finer 15-minute price movements.

Ni-shiki features:

・Targets 15-minute pullbacks and retracements
・Approximately 100 signals per year
・Allows finding trading candidates on a shorter timeframe than Ichi-shiki
・Can be used for short-term trend following
・Risks/rewards built from recent highs/lows

Because it uses short timeframes, market noise increases.

It is important to confirm alignment with higher timeframes while using it.

⚫︎ San-shiki｜Targeting 4-Hour Transformations

San-shiki is a signal that targets 4-hour level turning points.

Annual signal occurrences are around 10 to 30 times, fewer than Rei-shiki/Ichi-shiki/Ni-shiki.

In return, targeting 4-hour turns can lead to larger price moves depending on market conditions.

San-shiki features:

・Targets 4-hour turning candidates
・About 10–30 times per year
・Concentrates on large-scale moments by narrowing signals
・There are times when larger profit potential is possible
・Uses recent highs/lows as targets for take profit and stop

These points.

Because occurrences are infrequent, it is not a signal designed for daily trading.

You need to wait for favorable conditions.

⚫︎ Shi-shiki｜Targeting Big Tops and Bottoms

Shi-shiki targets market tops and bottoms where reversals may occur.

Annual signal occurrences are about 5 to 20 times, the fewest among the five signals.

Shi-shiki features:

・Targets large tops and bottoms
・Around 5–20 times per year
・Not a frequently appearing signal
・After turning, may lead to wide price moves
・Uses recent highs/lows to set loss and profit ranges

This is the point.

It is not possible to consistently hit exact tops or bottoms.

Shi-shiki does not guarantee market turns; it is a tool to find turning candidates.

Common Take Profit and Stop-Loss Approach Across All Signals

For L Signals, generally recent highs and lows are used as take profit and stop loss references.

Instead of mechanistically using a fixed pip amount, it uses high/low levels on the chart as references.

Therefore, take-profit and stop-loss widths vary per trade.

Key point is:

“Do not trade just because a signal appears.”

“Trade after confirming the current market environment, distance to stop loss, and distance to profit target.”

You need to consider not only win rate but the balance between profits per trade and losses per trade.

Three Environmental Recognition Tools to Judge Signals

In addition to the five signals, L Signals includes three tools to confirm market conditions.

・PO-Band
・PO-Gauge
・PressureZone

・Whether the current market has direction
・Which side (buyers or sellers) is dominant
・Where price is likely to react

This information is used for reference.

Rather, it combines signals with environment recognition to assist you in making trading judgments.

However, as a basic rule, if a signal appears,
it is okay to judge using recent highs/lows and assess risk-reward.

Notifications for Smartphone and PC Supported

L Signals supports notifications when signals occur.

On smartphones, you can use push notifications from the mobile MT4; on PC, use MT4 alerts to confirm signal events.

You can choose which types of signals to be notified about, such as

・Notify only Rei-shiki
・Notify only San-shiki and Shi-shiki
・Notify all five types

This feature helps those who cannot constantly monitor charts to confirm trading opportunities.

However, just because a notification arrives does not mean you must trade immediately.

Check the chart after the notification to confirm market conditions and risk-reward before deciding.

Lightweight Design to Minimize MT4 Load

Displaying multiple indicators and signal tools simultaneously can slow MT4.

L Signals emphasizes lightweight operation so it can be used daily without heavy load.

Not only signal accuracy and features, but also the ability to display on charts and continue using it is important.

Past Verification Results from 2018–2025

L Signals has tested five signal types over eight years from 2018 to 2025.

【Image ③: Summary of eight years of backtesting】

Summary for eight years is as follows.

・Signal occurrences: 5,050 times
・Verified trades: 1,914
・Total obtained pips: 28,352 pips

Annual total pips by year are as follows.

2018: 3,020.9 pips
2019: 4,443.7 pips
2020: 4,500 pips
2021: 3,608 pips
2022: 5,193 pips
2023: 1,766 pips
2024: 1,917 pips
2025: 3,903.4 pips

Not all eight years yielded the same results.

There were years where individual signals were negative, showing strengths and weaknesses depending on market conditions.

On the other hand, the annual total for the five signals combined remained positive from 2018 to 2025.

This data confirms L Signals’ approach of compensating various market phases with five different signals, rather than relying on a single market condition.

Backtesting results starting with 100,000 yen for each year

Results of testing by starting with 100,000 yen each year are shown below.

2018: 100,000 yen →502,780 yen
2019: 100,000 yen →955,473 yen
2020: 100,000 yen →3,507,264 yen
2021: 100,000 yen →688,000 yen
2022: 100,000 yen →427,300 yen
2023: 100,000 yen →370,960 yen
2024: 100,000 yen →1,732,825 yen
2025: 100,000 yen →502,780 yen

In the verification, the starting 100,000 yen surpassed in all eight years.

However, this is a simulation applying past market data under fixed rules.

In actual trading, results vary due to spreads, execution price, trading environment, timing, and more.

If you start with 100,000 yen and compound for eight years

In a test starting with 100,000 yen in 2018 and using 1% risk per trade with compound growth, the final amount reached 34,275,453 yen. Reaching over 34 million from 100,000 is a very large figure.

However, you should not assume you will achieve the same profit just from this number.

With compounding, the amount of loss per trade increases as capital grows.

You must endure losing streaks and drawdowns while continuing with the same trading rules.

This result does not indicate future profits; it is a simulation applying the same conditions to past data.

L Signals is not an automated trading tool

L Signals is not an automated trading tool

L Signals is not an EA that executes trades automatically.

It displays candidate trading signals on the chart, and the user makes trading decisions based on those signals.

Therefore,

・Current market environment
・Direction of higher timeframes
・Location of take profit and stop loss
・One-trade risk
・Presence of major economic indicators

need to be checked.

It is important not to trade all signals when they appear; skip trading when conditions are unfavorable.
