GMMA+ Contrarian RSI EA that places trades during low-drawdown timeframes
Hello today!
This is Satori researching FX.
This time, using GMMA Long to determine trends and RSI to place contrarian trades, I examined the time periods with the smallest drawdown over the last four and a half years for an automated trading tool EA.
“URL of the MT4 Drawdown-Low Timeframe GMMA Trend + Rebound RSI Auto Trading Tool EA USDJPY M5.”

The result is shown in the figure below.

In the figure above, the MT4 tester results are sorted by increasing drawdown.
The top row, i.e., the smallest drawdown, is the 8 o’clock trading results, followed by 15:00, 20:00, 7:00, 6:00, and 22:00, and so on.
The results of trading only during these low-drawdown timeframes are as follows.
The below figure is the balance curve from 2013 over four and a half years, showing data for three of the five EAs with relatively small drawdowns when run at 0.01 lots each.
Trading results for six time periods with small drawdown: 15:00, 8:00, 7:00, 22:00, 20:00, 6:00.

※If trading only during 20:00, simply change the initial setting OneHourTrade from 15,8,7,22,20,6 to OneHourTrade=20.
※Parameters such as TP, SL, profit-protect, trailing, GMMA trend filter, etc., can be adjusted.
※The only currency is USDJPY, and the timeframe is flexible.
From 4:00 AM to 9:00 AM, spreads are generally wide, but this EA is not a scalping EA, and the maximum tolerable spread is set to 3 pips by default, so it shouldn’t be a major concern.
