FX Auto Trading, the EA developer Reiwa's Double-EE.
This series has been written with the aim of posting every day since last year.
Probably it has continued for almost a year now!
If you read what I have written so far,
I am confident you will come closer to better EA operation.
And so, there are times when I want to take a short break,
I would like to continue posting with the help of ChatGPT here.
Occasionally I will post irregularly, as in the past.
7 out of 10 in the Averaging Down Tournament collapsed!? – The reality of Averaging Down EAs
FX Auto Trading, Reiwa's Double-EI is here!
This time, we will talk about the dangers of Averaging Down EAs.
In the world of FX auto trading, there are many EAs.
Among them, the **“averaging-down EA”** is popular among some traders, but
is it really something that can make money in the long run?
In fact, a test event called the **“Averaging-Down Tournament”** was held in 2023.
The results were…
Incredible, 70% of the participants collapsed!
And some of them became uncontactable afterward.
This is a reality you cannot overlook when using averaging-down EAs.
What is an Averaging-Down EA?
An Averaging-Down EA is an EA that takes additional positions when in drawdown, thereby adjusting the average entry price and aiming for a market reversal.
This is the method used by such EAs.
At first glance it may seem like a good strategy to recover losses,
✅weak in one-sided trending markets
✅prone to collapse if risk management is off
✅tends to have large maximum drawdown
such as these high-risk operationstend to occur.
What happened in the Averaging-Down Tournament
In 2023, a group of traders using averaging-down EAs held a “Averaging-Down Tournament.”
As a result,
?70% of participants collapsed!
?Some participants became unreachable…
From this, it is clear that
averaging-down EAs tend to be high-risk in operation.
There is potential for huge profits in a short time, but
the corresponding risk of collapse is extremely high in reality.
Be careful of “screenshot profits” flooding social media!
Recently on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok,
you may have seen posts like
“I earned ○○ yen in one day!”such **“screenshot of huge profits”**.
Most of them are,
?no backtest published or extremely short timeframe
?backtest exists but the “max drawdown > initial capital”
?leading to free EA distribution via LINE open chat
and thus
a sale of EAs aimed at a “commission business” is widespread.
I’m not saying Averaging-Down EA is always bad,
but the above opaque sales methods require caution.
Tips for safely selecting EAs
“So, which EAs can I safely operate?”
The answer is simple.
✅Buy from a trustworthy sales site
✅Backtests and forwards tests are clearly published
✅Risk management and operation methods are clearly explained
For example, a reliable sales company should have
✔backtest publications
✔forward testing disclosed
✔explanation of operational risks
such ashigh transparency EA sales.
Also, trustworthy EA developers will
explain the EA logic and risk management in detail,
and ensure users can operate after being satisfied.
If an EA is truly well-made, there is no need for shady SNS marketing.
Summary
?In the Averaging-Down Tournament, 70% collapsed!
?Averaging-Down EAs are weak in one-sided trend markets and carry high risk of collapse
?Be careful of social media “screenshot profits”! Many are Averaging-Down EAs
?When choosing an EA, obtaining it from a trusted sales site is best
Be cautious of products that push you to earn big money immediately.
Calmly, with a long-term perspective, protect your assets through prudent operation!
See you again!

【How to choose an EA】
Now that you think you can operate an EA,

Forward testing is important, but
backtesting is what backs it up.
Most likely the backtest period will be longer than the forward period, and
whether you happen to win in forward testing can be inferred by mastering backtest evaluation methods.
【How to manage EA risk!?】
And no matter how excellent an EA is,
FX will collapse if you neglect risk management.
