Forward Performance

Started operation in July 2019,
Above all, the fact that it's positive every month is appealing! Recommended for those who want stable profits!

▲2019 Pips gained and P/L

▲2020 Pips gained and P/L

Pips gained do not equal profit/loss because the lot size is not fixed.
With an initial 0.1 lot setting, the lot increases to 0.14, 0.21, 0.32 depending on market conditions.
In forward results, the lot only grows to 0.14, so there isn't a noticeable difference in the correlation between pips and profit/loss.

Trade Example

This system blends swing trading, guided by volatility-aware stop orders, with scalping. During operation, a textual explanation indicates whether the trade is swing or scalping for visual clarity.

Backtest Analysis

Currency pair: EURUSD
Backtest period: 2005.02.01-2019.05.31
With 0.1 lot setting

▲PF1.79, win rate 59%, max DD 210,000 yen
Monthly average profit 13,877 yen
Annual average profit 166,000 yen
Average amount earned 6,447 yen
Average loss amount -5,189 yen

This is how it stands.

Recommended margin is basically fixed at 0.1 lot with four positions on one side, but
occasionally the lot size increases to 0.14, 0.21, 0.32, so having at least about 600,000 to 1,000,000 yen should be sufficient.

▲ Essentially 0.1 lot, but there were occasions with 0.14, occasionally 0.21, and two times 0.32 lots in 2018.
Max DD was 200,000 yen in 2012.

Win rate around 60%, payout ratio 1.25, so it's a robust EA that steadily increases profits without large losses.

▲ Annual Profit/Loss

2008, 2010, 2011 show larger profits, so it seems a year with higher volatility yields more.
It's impressive that it remains profitable in any market year.

▲ Monthly Profit/Loss

Looking monthly, there isn't a particularly weak month; there are about 2–3 months per year with losses.

Operable with Multiple Currency Pairs, Rich Customization

Mechanical Sequencer can be operated with multiple currency pairs.

Considering operation on a 4-hour timeframe, trading frequency with a single currency pair may be insufficient.

▲ Performance of a four-currency portfolio: GBPJPY, CADJPY, AUDUSD, EURUSD

When operating all four currencies simultaneously,the number of trades is about 3x, profits about 2xAdditionally, max DD remains around 200,000 yen, similar to a single pair, so if trading times aren’t concentrated, it can be capital-efficient.
Also, total profit to total loss tends toward 2:1, enabling even more stable operation.

Rich in customizable parameters

Even with default parameters, robust operation is possible, but you can tailor it further by adjusting the parameters.

Swing-only or Scalping-only ON/OFF

Change total number of positions

Short-only, Long-only, MIX selectable

Trailing stop enable/disable

Change entry EMA and ATR parameters

and other customization-friendly features are included for enthusiasts.

In forward operation, since it runs on a single currency pair, trading frequency is relatively low and the lot size is small, so it may be less noticeable, but it seems to reliably earn about 10–30% per year, an excellent EA.
