Self-introduction

I think continuing to operate someone else's EA is very difficult.

Even with an EA I create myself, a slight drawdown makes me start doubting it and want to stop running it.

I think letting you know my thoughts and philosophy may help me continue to operate, so I’ll write this as an introduction.

The reason I sell EAs is that I want reliable income.

No matter how good an EA is, there is no guarantee it will make money, and even EAs that performed well in live trading in the past do not guarantee future profits.

Whether knowingly or unknowingly, I want people who buy with risk-taking to make profits, and I hope we can have a WIN-WIN relationship.

Because I actually trade, I understand that the market is uncertain.

Following the classic trend-following method often results in several years of losses.

People tend to say that an EA with zero losses in a month or year is good, but I think the more important question is whether it can make you rich, not just whether it never loses.

I believe the most profitable approach is classic trend following, and with trend following, it’s common to win for several years and lose for several years.

Since I design with compound growth in mind, I trade less often to raise the profit factor. There may be months when I do not trade at all.

When wins and losses alternate and the net is a break-even, simple interest results in a break-even, but

with compound growth, the capital gradually decreases.

If you are using compound growth, you need to trade only in places with a high likelihood of profit.

That is why the number of trades is kept low.

There is a term called the “knife-edge investment method,” and I believe this is the strongest approach even in EA operation.

If you monitor daily results with constant emotions, a small drawdown could make you want to stop operating.

I also try not to worry about server discrepancies. There is no value in stressing about them.

I actually run the same EA on several brokers, and forward results often differ.

In the short term, server discrepancies may lean negative, but in the long run I believe the overall results will be similar.

There have been cases where the number of entries differed by about double between brokers. Even in such cases, the profit factor remained the same when evaluated on a simple (non-compound) basis. If server discrepancies cause more entries, lowering the compound setting would be beneficial.

I prefer high-risk operation, but I think what works best varies from person to person.

If a purchaser chooses high-risk operation, please start with an amount you are completely willing to lose.
