【Free Distribution Indicator】Vs【Paid Selling Indicator】What is the decisive difference?
Good morning everyone.
My name is Ku (Kuu), a part-time trader.
I was interviewed by Gogojungle, and thanks to that I was able to distribute nearly 200 free copies.
Today I will write a comparison and practical guide between the indicator “Nanashikuu” you downloaded, and the currently sold-for-pay indicator “Ajinitchi.”
First, let's compare the parameters of the free-distributed indicator “Nanashikuu” and the parameters of the paid indicator “Ajinitchi.”
The image on the left above shows the free-distributed indicator “Nanashikuu.”
The right side shows the paid indicator “Ajinitchi,” priced at 39,800 yen.
In the left Nanashikuu, numerous values and on/off features are built in, allowing users to adjust a variety of parameter values.
On the other hand, in Ajinitchi, only the size and position of the arrows and the alerts can be adjusted by numerical input and on/off features.
Nanashikuu offers 33 adjustable parameters, whereas Ajinitchi has only three, a difference of about 33:3.
Ajinitchi, after two years of refinement and forward testing, has been optimized to the most commonly used logic, with settings locked so third parties cannot adjust them.
From my experience using hundreds of indicators and EAs, I found that tweaking parameters too much often makes it unclear what is truly optimal.
From such experience, I created an indicator most suitable for my unique trading logic and optimized the parameters to keep the values and on/off settings closed off from adjustment.
Even the creator, during the optimization process, found it to be more work than trading itself, so once I determined what best fit the logic, I locked the parameters so I could focus on trading without hesitation.
I take pride in the fact that Ajinitchi’s optimization has yielded trading results that are 2 to 3 times better than before.
Next, let’s compare the signal appearance rate and frequency on a 5-minute USD/JPY chart.
The left side of the image above shows the occurrence rate of signals for Nanashikuu.
On the right side, for the same period, are Ajinitchi’s signals.
Neither repaints, but for busy part-time traders like me, the left-side signal-heavy type can cause MT4 notifications on my phone to ring constantly, interfering with my main job.
As a part-time trader, a lower signal frequency with higher accuracy helps keep the trend in sight, so I developed a sign tool that filters dozens of factors to focus only on signals that do not miss the trend.
As noted in the lower-right of the image above, there was a long signal about a month ago that reached a high of 530 pips, and there were no selling signals during that period.
This is crucial: a signal tool that has low frequency and high accuracy, and clearly indicates only the trend direction, is exactly the ultimate signal tool I was seeking.

During the past month, there were pullbacks in USD/JPY, but all of them were pullbacks within a larger uptrend.
Within a month-long uptrend, some scalping to catch small shorts is possible, but from a long-leaning perspective, where can you grab pullbacks? Traders watching for a peaking price vs. the one who keeps looking for a top—who has the lower risk?
There are ways to target 1–10 pips via scalping, but for day trading that month-long short USD/JPY would be too risky, right?
As a part-time trader, rather than aiming for small ups and downs, my trading criteria when the market is rising are simply where to buy.
I consider this method highly efficient both mentally and in terms of time constraints.
Some parts of the proprietary logic are publicly shared in videos, but trading at a frequency of 1–2 trades per week and earning over 1,000 pips per month is sufficient.
I am very satisfied with earning over 1,000 pips every month as a part-time trader.
If the initial lot is 10,000 units, that would yield about 100,000 yen in profit; if the initial lot is 100,000 units, that would yield about 1,000,000 yen in profit.
Now let’s test on another currency pair.
Next is the up-to-date 5-minute chart for EUR/JPY.
The left side shows Nanashikuu, which is free.
Long and short signals cross, and signal frequency is quite high, about 12 times in a week.
When I developed the indicator two years ago, I believed that a higher signal frequency was better.
This is because busy part-time traders cannot monitor charts all day, so it would be better to have entry signals appear when time allows.
But in reality, indicators with many signals also have more false signals.
A logic with many signals in a range will have dramatically more false signals once a trend starts.
Also, trend-following signal tools often generate many signals in a range, leading to more stop-outs in range.
So after continued refinements, I concluded that signals that indicate the near-term trend are ideal.
1. Signals that do not appear during an uptrend pullback.
2.Signals that do not appear at a pullback high in a downtrend.
With such strict filters, Ajinitchi is completed.
Many part-time traders have a severe handicap: they spend very little time looking at charts.
Not being glued to chart means missing trading opportunities and makes position management and exits difficult after entry.
To truly trade in spare moments, you need to grasp the following key items.
- First, signals should be few and with few false signals.
- Be able to transfer signals from MT4 to your phone.
- Have EA that automatically executes stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop at entry.

I considered these three aspects to be very important.
For items 1 and 2, the free Nanashikuu indicator can be adjusted to achieve this, but for item 3, it was necessary to program an EA that implements the trading logic.
Next, let’s look at the AUD/USD.
The left side shows Nanashikuu, where in a ranging market signals occur up and down frequently.
Even with a trend-following signal tool, in a choppy range, a lot of signals can occur and stop-outs increase.
On the right, Ajinitchi shows only one short signal which turned out to be a false signal, but the next long signal reached up to 75 pips from the high.
And with Ajinitchi EA equipped, setting limit orders and stop orders makes it easier to anticipate breakouts in advance.
With this Ajinitchi EA, the MT4 function “draw horizontal line” can be used with one click to place a short stop or a long stop, and the EA will automatically manage stop losses, take profits, and trailing stops.
Please refer to the figure below.
In the right side of the figure, if the entry for a short is made by SELLSTOP upon the most recent low, that short entry fails, and the next long signal allows a BUYSTOP to be filled, enabling a profit of up to 75 pips.
Nanashikuu did not provide a semi-automatic settlement system, but Ajinitchi makes semi-automatic take-profit and semi-automatic limit and stop orders easily executable.
Please take this opportunity to use the Ajinitchi system.
Thank you very much for reading until the end.
