My main profession is IT consulting. I previously belonged to one of the world's four major consulting firms, where I was involved in project management for large-scale system development and architectural design. I apply that experience to EA development as well, valuing not only trading performance but also stable operation in real accounts. I design with anticipated order competition, rapid spread expansion, and broker-specific differences in mind, and I conduct backtesting across multiple environments as well as real account verification. Before I started development, I personally purchased many EAs domestically and abroad for several years. Even good EAs often stop updating while still having room for improvement. That realization led me to pursue my own satisfaction, which became the motivation to create the Gonzo series. Among the several indicators, I particularly emphasize profit factor (PF) for single-position EAs. A high PF does not guarantee future profits, but I believe it significantly affects recovery potential after stop-loss and the sense of security when actually operating. For those who have chosen a high-priced product, I do not simply sell and finish. I offer post-purchase setup and operation environment consultations, and if issues arise, I review trading history and logs to isolate causes. If there are points the product can improve, I reflect them in updates. The revenue from sales is reinvested into verification accounts, VPS, development environments, and quality assurance processes. I will continue to develop new products and improve existing ones, providing items that can be used for a long time. 【未解決サポートについて for a certain developer’s product】 Previously, I received a request from a certain developer to temporarily assist with the EA modification and user support for that person’s product. Currently, there is no development or sales relationship with that person. For those whose consultations at that time were not completed, I am providing limited-time support upon request from GogoJungle. If you fall into this category, please contact me via DM.

First validation of Gonzo Special on domestic broker FXTF's MT5. Low-spread gold trading, dedicated version to be released soon

GONZO SPECIAL / 2026.09.07

Gonzo Special FXTF Edition

Gold short-term test and forward records from today.

At FXTF, gold (XAUUSD) trading with MT5 has become available.

Being able to use MT5, trade gold, and have low spreads. It’s the environment I’ve wanted for a long time to run Gonzo Special. I’m glad this option is increasing domestically.

FXTF’s MT5 began offering product CFDs and other services on September 1, 2026. I’m quickly confirming trades with Gonzo Special and proceeding with development of a FXTF-exclusive version.

Personal account product CFDs are subject to separate filing taxation

Profit from product CFDs on FXTF’s personal accounts is treated as “miscellaneous income related to futures trading,” with a tax rate of 20.315% including reconstruction special income tax. I’d like to check the tax system alongside the trading environment.

First, I compared at the same quantity

In the development stage of Gonzo Special, I compared FXTF with a “low-spread broker.” Initial margin is 1,000,000 yen, and the trading quantity of gold is aligned at 1 oz for both sides.

The real tick data obtained this time for FXTF is limited to after August 18. Among them, I confirmed the consistency of historical dataAugust 24–September 6 (excluding end date)and published the report.

Comparison version of development／M1・real tick・5 ms latency・20x leverage. Fixed quantity is 1 oz for both. Pyramid and rollover control are OFF.

FXTF with 5 trades +2,954 yenThe comparison target with 3 trades +1,834 yenBoth ended in profit.

Profit was higher with FXTF. However, the maximum drawdown including unrealized losses was 2,721 yen for FXTF and 663 yen for the comparison target. There are differences not visible by profit alone.

Top: low-spread broker / bottom: FXTF. This is a balance graph from the original report. The unrealized P/L trend is not included, and the vertical axis scales differ between the top and bottom.

This is still a short test of 3–5 trades. I won’t decide superiority from this result alone, and I’ll continue to observe actual trading as well.

Today’s forward: both sides take profit

Starting today, September 7, I began forward trading with FXTF as well. In the initial comparison trades, both entered selling almost at the same time, and both locked in profits within a few minutes.

Top: low-spread broker / bottom: FXTF. Because the displayed lot and actual traded quantity differ, you cannot directly compare the P/L amounts in the image.

When converting trade quantity to 1 oz of gold and comparing profits after deducting fees, the comparison target was +278.49 yenand FXTF was +304.00 yen.

In this single trade, FXTF came out slightly ahead. It’s encouraging to observe Gonzo Special’s characteristic short trades. I will continue trading to see similar movements and where differences arise.

Developing the FXTF-exclusive version

Gonzo Special can operate with FXTF in its current form, but detailed verification is not yet complete. Currently,we are developing a FXTF-specific version tailored from lot calculation to order placement and settlement to align with FXTF trading specifications. We will continue forward measurement and plan a forthcoming release.

FXTF’s gold is 1 lot = 1 oz. Handling the number of lots with the same feel as before may lead to unintended trading quantities. The exclusive version will allow settings based on FXTF’s actual lot size, and we will continue to verify TP/SL, trailing, and rollover controls.

This is the domestic trading environment we’ve been waiting for, so I plan to nurture it carefully. I will announce again once the release preparations are complete.
