[Part 1] About Fully Automated Trading (EA) and Semi-Automated Trading (Semi-Discretionary EA)
Good evening,this is Tokoyasan!
Today I would like to talk about fully automated trading (EA) and semi-automatic trading (semi-discretionary EA), not about a performance report.
Before the main content, please take a look at
（Part 1）Momentum Unstoppable! Further profits updated! ~ Revealing the truly useful secrets of EAs in general ~
which should deepen your understanding of what we’ll discuss this time, so please refer to it.
Do you know the difference between the two?
When I first approached EAs, my impression was “EA > semi-discretionary EA.”
However, through development, that impression has changed.
Their performance cannot be judged simply as which is better; it depends on what the user prioritizes.
The differences between the two can be divided into three areas.
① Effort
② Flexibility
③ Profitability
From these three perspectives, how do EAs and semi-discretionary EAs look?
In Part 1, I would first like to explain EAs.
① In terms ofeffort, the advantage is overwhelmingly high. For those using Gogojungle, many of you may have touched this, but just by setting up an EA using MT4 or MT5, it will trade automatically according to the logic.
Now, what about the② flexibility? Because programming is involved,there are parts that cannot be made flexible. Have you ever thought, “This entry won’t work here” while using an EA?
If you try to impose the above conditions with an EA, you may also exclude good trades. If you pick one side, the other may fail. While dealing with this dilemma, the EA is completed by stacking conditions that slightly increase edge. From this point, flexibility must be said to be low.
Next,③ profitability, but this requires further classification of EAs.To make money, one must adapt to the market, but high-profit ones often adapt only to one-way markets with long-running trends. However, the weakness of these EAs is that the market can reverse direction.
If you think you’ve achieved enormous profits in one month, you may incur losses that surpass them a few months later, causing users to drop sharply; these are the EAs that fall into that category.
So, how about EAs with lower profitability? These are the ones that find an edge such as 1:1.1 profit and limit operating conditions. Such EAs tend to be strong in both directions of the market and may gradually accumulate profits over about 10 years.
In recent times, the market seems to be on the verge of a long-term trend reversal as interest rates change. In the past 4–5 years, the cross JPY market was flat to rising, but if it turns into a downtrend from here, the EAs that have managed to stay profitable for 4–5 years may incur losses and disappear.
How did you find that?
I think I’ve covered quite important points.
If you purchase an EA, it may be beneficial to choose with an eye toward changes in the market (*´ω｀*)
This may sound like advertising, butthere is an EA I previously created that anticipates movement toward the yen appreciation.It was a bit ahead of its time, but it also includes a concept that can withstand opposite price movements, and it has continued to earn profits while operating safely. Considering future trends, it is quietly attracting attention for potentially even more stable performance. If you are interested, please take a look.
