Using your real account EA uptime chart, find truly excellent EAs and learn when to re-activate them.
We converted the table published there in the article 'EA Utilization Rate for Customers Using EAs', which had been published irregularly since around autumn 2019, into a scatterplot matrix chart updated hourly.
The image above is the chart placed on theMy Page TOP page.
The scattered circles represent EAs, and the larger the circle, the greater the number of purchases for that EA.
The horizontal axis shows the time since the measurement (forward test) began, and the vertical axis shows the operating rate.
Blue circles indicate EAs that I purchased.
To explain the calculation for the operating rate, the target counts accounts that can be identified as real accounts.
If an EA was placed on a real account within the past month, it will be counted, but if the real account number was changed within the past month, it will be counted as a duplicate.
Even if an EA is removed from a real account within the past month, it will not be excluded from the count.
Therefore, the numbers may be larger than the actual number of real accounts in use.
The value obtained by dividing the above aggregated figure by the number of purchases is the 'Real Account EA Operating Rate'.
When you hover the mouse over the circles, as in the following image,
- Operating period (time since the start of measurement)
- Operating counts — purchases
- Operating rate (the value calculable from 2)
will pop up.
Now, as for practical uses of this chart, it can be used beyond simply whether the real account utilization rate is high or low.
For example, after purchasing an EA, it stopped because it no longer fit the market and its performance declined. However, the Real Account EA Operating Rate has been rising sharply recently, so it’s time to reactivate!Real Account EA Operating Rate has been rising sharply recently, so it’s time to reactivate!
So far, from observing user behavior, the most visited page has been the EA's individual product page. You may also have looked at the community or product reviews, but likely your visit purpose includes checking the forward test (performance results) as well.
Now that, in addition to forward-test results, you can see the real account operating status of other EA users, there is more information to decide on restarting operation, making it even more convenient.
Top Page, System Trade Top Page displays charts without blue circles and without showing your purchased EAs., System Trade Top Page displays charts without blue circles and without showing your purchased EAs.
Also, you can view it on the mobile site. The mobile site isn’t too bad in usability, and you can locate the operating rate of your target EA by zooming in and out with your finger.
Please try to locate the operating rates of your own EA or an EA you’ve been curious about.
