79 trades in just under two months in forward testing,
Total gained pips are 195 pips.

Let's also review annual and monthly profit and loss
【Monthly P/L】
November tends to be slightly more prone to losses.
There were periods with up to three consecutive months of losses.
【Annual P/L】
Average annual gain over the last 5 years: $425
Average annual gain over the last 13 years: $524
That is the result.
In the last 5 years, annual return is 32%
In the last 10 years, annual return is 39%
(Assuming a maximum drawdown of 50%)
With one-position operation and many trades per year, an annual return over 30% is quite solid for an EA.
Also, because the win rate is high, it is suitable for compounding.
【Compound Interest Backtest Results】
Over the last 5 years, backtested with 1% compounding (assuming 1 lot per 1 million yen).
1,000,000 yen ⇒ 5,390,000 yen!
A +440% gain over 5 years.
Relative drawdown is 47%; to reduce DD, setting around 0.7 per 1 million yen would bring relative DD into the 30% range.
Also, since the average gained pips are only 5 pips, it is essential to trade with a broker offering tight spreads.
