No. 13｜Shiroyagi's EA Operation Diary｜FX3EA settlement-free, total unrealized −11,280 yen; due to yen appreciation, bought 5 more Land Builder (9/3 Thu)

Today, there were no settlements for any of the five products, and the realized P/L was ±0 yen. With the Bank of Japan rate-hike expectations, the yen strengthened and Land Builder increased holdings to 9 lots by buying additional 5, bringing total holdings to 9.

■Today's Market

The land-yen rate at 20:50 was9.728 yen(vs opening: −0.121 yen). During the day, it ranged from 9.723 to 9.893 yen, declining from the morning 9.89 yen region and moving into a low range. Against the dollar, the South African rand is around 16.04 rand per dollar and largely flat, so the drop in the rand/yen is mainly a yen-strength factor. The USD/JPY, given the hawkish remarks by a former BoJ policy board member and expectations of a larger rate hike at the September meeting, fell from the late-morning 158 yen area to156.205 yen(vs opening: −2.493 yen). The AUD/JPY was112.341 yen(vs opening: −1.326 yen; low 112.137 yen), the NZD/JPY was91.694 yen(vs opening: −0.939 yen; low 91.529 yen), and most cross-yen pairs declined. The Nikkei stock average fell slightly to64,214.48 yen(vs previous day: −111.16 yen, −0.17%). During the day it dropped to 63,772.80 yen before narrowing the losses. The S&P 500 closed at7,666.60(vs previous day: +35.13, +0.46%) and rebounded.

■EA Forward Status by Item

“Today's realized P/L” is the daily profit/loss shown on each product page in the monthly statistics. The account balance and unrealized P/L are the page values as of 20:35–20:50. The annual rate conversion (this year / total) is a reference value based on simple interest and initial amount.

①sheep6 AUD/JPY, NZD/JPY | M30 | Long-only, up to 6 lots

There were no settlements or new positions; we carried over two NZD/JPY long positions from August 21 (95.113 yen, 0.01 lot) and September 2 (92.846 yen, 0.02 lot). As NZD/JPY dropped into the 91- yen late range, unrealized P/L at the top of the page widened from −844 yen to −2,907 yen. The orange line on the official operation chart (earnings + daily max unrealized P/L) has fallen to about 782,100 yen, and the difference with realized 788,231 yen suggests the intra-day maximum unrealized P/L is roughly around 6,000 yen (based on chart reading).

②Kuroyagi-san Evolution AUD/JPY | M30 | MA + BB reversal, averaging down & swap

Today at 5:41 AM, added 0.03 lot at 113.233 yen, and at 10:01 AM added at 112.415 yen, resulting in 4 total AUD/JPY long positions (0.03 lot each) with 8/28/2019 114.856 yen and 9/2/2019 114.044 yen as reference points. The unrealized P/L at the top of the page shows −4,178 yen, but the orange line on the official operation chart is down to about 570,000 yen, so the intra-day max unrealized P/L versus realized 587,262 yen shows a widening of about 17,000 yen. Compared to the actual maximum drawdown (1,245,840 yen, 29.00%), this is roughly 1% of the balance.

③kotukotu-EX ZAR/JPY | H4 | BB trend-following, averaging down & swap

There were no settlements today. The three settlements from yesterday 14:00 are reflected at the top of the page and in the monthly analysis, changing account balance from 1,277,697 yen to 1,277,281 yen, and September monthly analysis from 0 to −416 yen (September 2 on the calendar remains +25 yen; the difference of 441 yen corresponds to three fees). The annual total also changed from 97,374 yen to 96,958 yen. The forward history header shows six lines saying “Updating results,” and the number of holdings cannot be confirmed on the page. The orange line on the official operation chart is about 262,500 yen, and the intra-day maximum unrealized P/L is roughly 15,000 yen (approximate from chart). The actual maximum drawdown (202,772 yen, 41.61%) is less than 10% of that, indicating a smaller impact relative to balance.

④Index Seven S&P500, Nikkei 225 | D1 | 7-logic buy-only

There were no settlements, and today is not listed on the daily calendar for September. The rebound in S&P 500 reduced unrealized P/L from −$110 to −$38. The orange line on the official operation chart is about +$265, and the difference with realized $333 implies the intra-day maximum unrealized P/L is roughly around $70 (approximate from chart reading).

⑤Land Builder Rand Builder ZAR/JPY | Swap + compounding, 3-layer downtrend defense | Pre-sale

In line with the fall of the rand, five more lots were bought today (8:23 at 9.821 yen, 0.10 lot; 8:28 at 9.817 yen, 0.05 lot; 10:01 at 9.781 yen, 0.01 lot; 9:52 at 9.793 yen, 0.12 lot; 10:09 at 9.752 yen, 0.12 lot; 12:40 at 9.737 yen, 0.05 lot). Together with four positions from August 25, 28 and September 2, total holdings are 9 lots, 0.66 lots in total, meaning the 1 lot per position decreases as price goes down (0.10 → 0.05 → 0.01). The unrealized P/L at the top updated from −1,968 yen to −4,820 yen, and the maximum drawdown column also changed to 45.45% (4,820 yen). The orange line on the official operation chart is about −8,700 yen, and the difference between realized 964 yen implies the intra-day maximum unrealized P/L is roughly around 9,700 yen. This is about 1% of the initial 1,000,000 yen, and compared to the designed maximum drawdown (including unrealized losses) of about 22.5%, this is a shallower level.

■Notice

The “annualized return (this year / total)” on the books is a reference value based on simple interest and initial amount, and does not guarantee future results (EA measurements under 90 days from start are omitted). Land Builder forward measurement reached day 14, and holdings increased from 4 to 9 (real account: 10 positions, 1.70 lots). As the yen weakens, the per-position lot decreases in the first layer of the averaging-down strategy (0.10 → 0.05 → 0.01 lots), as shown in today’s history. Tomorrow, Friday September 4, there will be the US jobs data release.
