● Operation with long-term moving averages
● Operation with medium-term moving averages
Three-position operation with ultra-short-term moving averages
★★★★Super scalping with low spread account in a range market 50-100 entries per day or more per currency pair are possible even without nanpin support.
This EA is a version of the ENVELOPES-EA for mid-term moving average trading. As shown in the chart above, it captures slightly larger waves than ultra-short-term trading, so the win rate is a little lower, but the number of transactions is also greater, so you can aim for stable and slightly larger profits. There seems to be almost no difference from the back test. In the late night and early morning window trading, when large profits can be made, the spread filter for domestic accounts is about 20 pips wider, so it seems that all entries are not made. We recommend using an overseas account except for short-term trading in the daytime. Even during the daytime, when there is a big move, it is a great opportunity, but it is often not entered due to the spread filter.
The number of lots is distributed among multiple chiats with different level settings, so it is possible to make a stable profit and achieve better results than back and forward tests. In both the forward and back tests, the stop loss is set at 5 pips. If you want to cover the loss by nan-pinning, we recommend the version of 13,600 yen that has the function of nan-pinning both sides of the trade.
In a clear downtrend like this, you can double your profits by entering the market on a chart with less divergence between the upper level line and the lower level line. The moving average allows you to not only reverse the trend, but also to buy on the push side and sell on the return side in the direction of the trend.
In such a clear downtrend, you can double your profit by entering the market on a chart with less divergence between the upper level line and the lower level line. Since moving averages are used, it is possible not only to reverse the trend, but also to buy at a push in the trend direction and sell back in the trend direction. In this case, it is recommended to set the EA setting to "Onry Short" and narrow the stochastic control level a little.
In this case, we recommend that you set the EA to "Onry Short" and narrow the stochastic control level a little. When there are large movements such as when an indicator is announced, there is a strong tendency for drawdowns to occur with only one parameter as usual. On the other hand, in a range market with little movement, you can easily adjust the win rate and the number of entries by setting more detailed parameters.
EA Explanation
This EA is a scalping EA that uses an original logic with 5 moving averages and stochastics. This version does not have a nanpin function. This is a method that uses the characteristics of the market to return even if the market deviates from the moving average. Basically, it can be operated with any currency pair time frame, but it is recommended to operate with 1 minute time frames such as USD/JPY EUR/JPY EUR/USD with low spreads. Among the many logics, the parameters are set to the medium-term moving average by default in the forward version, so you can use it without any modifications. Recommended parameter settings for other timeframe moving averages are also explained in detail.
In the case of a sell entry, the entry is made when the price breaks through the specified line above the moving average from the bottom to the top and touches the line again from the top to the bottom. In the case of a buy entry, the opposite is true. The major difference between this method and the simple Bollinger Band inversion method is that the entry is controlled by stochastics, and the angle and divergence can be clearly set in increments of o.1 pips for five lines. When the market is in a strong trend that does not return through the lines or when the entry is settled on the outer line, the entry is not made on the inner line, which is safe. In the case of the Envelope, the standard deviation against the price cannot be set in detail, but the Moving Average level can be set in 0.1 pips increments.
Unlike other EAs, this EA can be operated in any time frame and currency pair, and even beginners can control the win rate and number of entries by easily adjusting the parameters according to the market. Even in the same 1-minute time frame, various settings are possible with one EA, such as a setting centered on the moving average of 100, a setting that captures smaller waves, and a setting centered on the time of an indicator announcement, etc. It is also possible to use the same EA for various operations. The winning rate can be greatly changed by adjusting the moving average level to the market. It is also possible to operate with large time frames.
The time from entry to settlement is only a few minutes. The win rate is about 70%, but by running multiple EAs with different parameters, it is possible to further increase the win rate. This EA can visually judge the entry point and find the best entry point by setting the indicator.
The EA can be used for both domestic and overseas trading accounts. For ultra-short-term trading, the spread is very important, and we recommend that you use a firm with a narrow spread. Please note that FXTF, a domestic account, does not allow short-term scalping. OANDA Japan Rakuten is recommended. For mid-term moving average, it is possible to operate with either MT4.
The spread filter and trailing function can be set from 0.1 pips' unit, so it is possible to take profit even in a small range market. It is a very convenient EA when there is one to aim at the return such as when it moves greatly. When used in combination with short-term trading logic for multiple currency pairs, it is possible to make dozens of entries per day.
However, it is difficult to trade early in the morning in the case of domestic accounts because the spread opens considerably in the early morning. There seems to be a dedicated EA, but this EA has 5 level lines, so it is possible to enter from the optimal point.
★★★ Even if the market starts from a window opening further out, the market often returns once to the starting point, so by setting up multiple entries, you can make a mostly positive profit in total since you enter on the outer line.
In a range market, I have made a profit of more than 500 pips per day in five currency pairs by adjusting moving averages and level lines. By using the "nan-pin" method, we have been able to make even more profit.
The report below is for 1 minute of USD/JPY Eurodollar. 1Lot operation for 5 years has a maximum drawdown of 1.4% and PF of 1.8 The number of transactions has been very stable at 7400 times. The time from entry to settlement is about 1 minute. The upper and lower bounds of the candlestick are converted to profit. Although the win rate will be lower, it is possible to increase the number of entries by a factor of 5, and although the PF will be lower, the profit will be much higher.
The win rate is about 71%, but by running multiple EAs with different parameters, it is possible to increase the win rate even more. This EA can visually judge the entry point and find the best entry point by setting the indicator.
The spread is very important for ultra-short-term trading, and we recommend that you use a narrower spread. Please note that FXTF, a domestic account, does not allow short-term scalping. OANDA Japan Rakuten is recommended.
It is a very simple EA, but since the spread filter and trailing function can be set from 0.1 PIPS unit, it is possible to take r-profits even in a small range market.

The following is a part of the actual performance from September 1 to 6, 2011. The actual performance is much better than the default parlour meter, but the trading environment also has a big influence on it. The best recommendation is that even beginners can easily adjust the number of entries and win rate, and the win rate can be further increased by setting up three charts. The default pararameter is 1-positive. The default parameter is 1-position operation.
This is a real image of the point yen in the early morning of September 23. It moved up and down quite a bit before the market closed. The spread is not so wide for overseas accounts even in the early morning, so the average profit was 70 pips on all 30 charts of the pound sterling series, for a total profit of about 2,000 pips. Because the market moves quickly, trailing settlement is made at the tip of the upper whiskers. Since the market often moves widely before the market closes on the weekends, it is possible to make a considerable profit by setting up multiple charts with a wide spread. In the case of the domestic account in the forward test, the spread was 20 pips, which is too wide to open, so I did not enter the market. The chart on the right shows a return at the first level and an entry before the price extends to the third level, but the entry is successful until the third level because of the three-position operation and the deep stop loss. In the left and middle charts, I enter at the return touch of the next candle after the price has fully extended.
In such a clear downtrend, you can double your profit by entering the market on a chart with less divergence from the upper level line. Since moving averages are used, it is possible not only to reverse the trend, but also to buy on the push side in the direction of the trend and sell on the return side. In this case, it is recommended to set the EA setting to "Onry Short" and narrow the stochastic control level a little.

The buy entry is as follows. The following image shows the long-term moving average of the Eurodollar, but if a clear uptrend can be seen in the relationship between the slope of the green long-term moving average and the short-term moving average, a level line can be set just below the light blue moving average to make a forward buy-and-hold entry. It is very convenient to save the chart in MT4's pair view in advance.
All data below are backtest data from the version with 3 level lines. Currently, we are upgrading to 5 level lines.
The backtest data for the Eurodollar ultra-short-term moving average 2, which is fixed at 2 LOT for 10 years, shows that 1 million yen is 69.5 million yen, which is more than 2.1 billion yen for a compound interest operation at 20 times leverage.
In actual operation, however, the number of entries will decrease due to contract rejection by firms and other factors.
● The 7-year backtest data for the operation with the USD/JPY ultra-short-term moving average of 2 shows a PF of 4.65.
Backtest data with a spread of 1.5 pips. Dollar Yen PF2.44 Euro Dollar
PF2.13 By adjusting the parameters, the number of trades is reduced, but PF and other parameters are increased.

Although the win rate is low, it is still possible to use other currency pairs as well. Optimization of Parameters: Combined with the ultra-short-term trading logic, a significant increase in profit is possible. The moving average is less subject to error than in the back test. Although the number of trades is set to be small, it is much larger than other EAs, so we recommend using a domestic account with a low spread. Since it takes about 1 minute from entry to settlement, it cannot be used with FX TF, which prohibits short-term scalping. The number of entries for ultra-short-term trading logic varies greatly depending on the trading environment. For overseas accounts with a spread of 3 pips or more, it is necessary to change the parameters and widen the level to about twice as much. It is also possible to take a large profit at the time of an indicator announcement or other moving averages other than ultra-short-term trading, so it is a convenient EA to have because it can be used with other logics even in an overseas account with a wide spread. We also publish recommended parameter information and daily trading information on our blog, so please refer to it if you are a purchaser. https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/v637088 This version has simplified parameters as much as possible in order to cope with fast movements.

About Forex Automated Trading
What is Forex Automated Trading (MT4 EA)?
Forex Automated Trading refers to trading that is automated through programming, incorporating predetermined trading and settlement rules. There are various methods to conduct automated trading, but at GogoJungle, we deal with Experts Advisors (hereinafter referred to as EA) that operate on a trading platform called MT4.
Trading Types of Forex Automated Trading
There are various types of EAs (Expert Advisors) for different trading types that can be used on MT4.
Just like discretionary trading, there are those that decide trading and settlement timings by combining indicators, those that repeatedly buy or sell at certain price (pips) intervals, and trading methods that utilize market anomalies or temporal features. The variety is as rich as the methods in discretionary trading.
To categorize simply,
・Scalping (Type where trades are completed within a few minutes to a few hours),
・Day Trading (Type where trades are completed within several hours to about a day),
・Swing Trading (Type where trades are conducted over a relatively long period of about 1 day to 1 week)
・Grid/Martingale Trading (Holding multiple positions at equal or unequal intervals and settling all once a profit is made. Those that gradually increase the lot number are called Martingale.)
・Anomaly EA (Mid-price trading, early morning scalping)

・Anomaly EA (Mid-price trading, early morning scalping)
Risks, Advantages, and Disadvantages of Forex Automated Trading
When engaging in Forex, there are risks in automated trading just as there are in discretionary trading.
However, a substantial advantage of automated trading is its ability to limit and predict risks beforehand.
[Risk]
Inherent to forex trading are the trading risks that undeniably exist in automated trading as well.
・Lot Size Risk
Increasing the lot size forcibly due to a high winning rate can, in rare instances, depending on the EA, lead to substantial Pips loss when a loss occurs. It is crucial to verify the SL Pips and the number of positions held before operating with an appropriate lot.
・Rapid Market Fluctuation Risk
There are instances where market prices fluctuate rapidly due to index announcements or unforeseen news. System trading does not account for such unpredictable market movements, rendering it incapable of making decisions on whether to settle in advance or abstain from trading. As a countermeasure, utilizing tools that halt the EA based on indicator announcements or the VIX (fear index) is also possible.
[Benefits]
・Operates 24 hours a day
If there is an opportunity, system trading will execute trades on your behalf consistently. It proves to be an extremely convenient tool for those unable to allocate time to trading.
・Trades dispassionately without being swayed by emotions
There is an absence of self-serving rule modifications, a common human tendency, such as increasing the lot size after consecutive losses in discretionary trading or, conversely, hastily securing profits with minimal gains.
・Accessible for beginners
To engage in Forex trading, there is no prerequisite to study; anyone using system trading will achieve the same results.
[Disadvantages]
・Cannot increase trading frequency at will
Since system trading operates based on pre-programmed conditions, depending on the type of EA, it might only execute trades a few times a month.
・Suitability may vary with market conditions
Depending on the trading type of the EA, there are periods more suited to trend trading and periods more suited to contrarian trading, making consistent results across all periods unlikely. While the previous year might have yielded good results, this year's performance might not be as promising, necessitating some level of discretion in determining whether it is an opportune time to operate.

While the previous year might have yielded good results, this year's performance might not be as promising, necessitating some level of discretion in determining whether it is an opportune time to operate.
Equipment and Environment Needed for Automated Trading Operation
The requirements for operating automated trading (EA) on MT4 are as follows:
・MT4 (MetaTrader 4. An account needs to be opened with a Forex company that offers MT4.)
・EA (A program for automated trading)
・The operating deposit required to run the EA
・A PC that can run 24 hours or a VPS (Virtual Private Server), where a virtual PC is hosted on a cloud server to run MT4.

Installation of MT4 and Account Login
If you open an account with a forex broker that supports MT4, you can use MT4 as provided by that forex broker. MT4 is a stand-alone type of software that needs to be installed on your computer, so you download the program file from the website of the FX company where you opened the account and install it on your computer.
Additionally, there are both demo and real accounts available. You can experience trading with virtual money by applying for a demo account. After opening a real account, you select the connection server assigned by the Forex broker, enter the password, and log in to the account.
When you deposit money into your account using the method specified by the forex broker, the funds will be reflected in your MT4 account, and you can trade.

How to Install EA on MT4
To set up an EA when you purchase it through GogoJungle, follow the steps below:
Firstly, download the purchased EA file from your My Page on GogoJungle. You will download a zip (compressed) file, so right-click to extract it and retrieve the file named ‘◯◯◯ (EA name)_A19GAw09 (any 8 alphanumeric characters).ex4’ from inside.
Next, launch MT4 and navigate to ‘File’ → ‘Open Data Folder’ → ‘MQL4’ → ‘Experts’ folder, and place the ex4 file inside. Once done, close MT4 and restart it. Then, go to the upper menu ‘Tools’ → ‘Options’, and under ‘Expert Advisors’, ensure ‘Allow automated trading’ and ‘Allow DLL imports’ are checked, then press OK to close.
The necessary currency pair and time frame for the correct operation of the EA are specified on the EA sales page. Refer to this information and open the chart of the correct currency pair time frame (e.g., USDJPY5M for a USD/Yen 5-minute chart).
Within the menu navigator, under ‘Expert Advisors’, you will find the EA file name you placed earlier. Click to select it, then drag & drop it directly onto the chart to load the EA. Alternatively, you can double-click the EA name to load it onto the selected chart.
If ‘Authentication Success’ appears in the upper left of the chart, the authentication has been successful. To operate the EA, you need to keep your PC running 24 hours. Therefore, either disable the automatic sleep function or host MT4 on a VPS and operate the EA.

In Case You Want to Change the Account in Use
EAs from GogoJungle can be used with one real account and one demo account per EA.
If you want to use it with an account other than the authenticated one, you need to reset the registered account.
To reset the account, close the MT4 where the Web authentication is registered, then go to My Page on GogoJungle > Use > Digital Contents > the relevant EA > press the ‘Reset’ button for the registration number, and the registered account will be released.
When the account is in a reset state, using the EA with another MT4 account will register a new account.
Also, you can reset the account an unlimited number of times.

About the Size of Trading Lots
In Forex trading, the size of a lot is usually:
1 lot = 100,000 currency units
0.1 lot = 10,000 currency units
0.01 lot = 1,000 currency units
For USD/JPY, 1 lot would mean holding 100,000 dollars.
The margin required to hold lots is determined by the leverage set by the Forex broker.
If the leverage is 25 times, the margin required to hold 10,000 currency units of USD/JPY would be:
10000*109 (※ at a rate of 109 yen per dollar) ÷ 25 = 43,600 yen.
