■Outline
StablePointGetterEURUSD is an EA that works with the EURUSD currency pair.
It is recommended to use a GMT+2/+3 broker as some of the internal logic uses the intraday timeframe.
It uses 7 different entry logics designed with an emphasis on long-term stability, and makes prudent and highly accurate entries.
After entry, the fixed settlement limit (T/P), which can be changed via settings, provides quick profit taking and sustainable results.

After entry, the fixed settlement limit (T/P), which can be changed via settings, provides quick profit taking and sustainable results.
■Features
Fixed Point Getter The concept of the Fixed Point Getter
is to use profit taking by the settlement limit price (T/P) as the main strategy.With the default settings, 160 points (16 pips) are consistently taken with a winning rate of over 80%.
It is an EA that leaves results more easily than EAs that use logic or trailing stops for profit-taking, especially in medium-term range markets.
With the use of the method called
"
Nan-Pinning (multiple positions)" or "Martingale", you can easily increase your profitability and PF.By using a method called "Nan-pinning (multiple positions)" or "Martingale", you can easily increase the profitability and PF, and record a steady increase in the results in the short term.
By limiting your entry times to specific times each day, not just the beginning of the week or on weekends, you can eliminate bad entries and backtrack.
If you limit your entries to certain times of the day, not just early in the week or on weekends, you can eliminate the bad entries and achieve a good performance in the back-test.
Although there are situations where the above methods can be used effectively
This EA does not use any such small techniques, but has been developed to achieve the highest performance that can be achieved in a straightforward manner.
As a result, in a 10-year back-test of 1. 0 lotsimple interest operation and 1 position, the EA achieved the following results
The result is an EA with a PF of 1.97 and a net profit of 16 million yen (more than 26 times the initial margin requirement).
Increased number of entries when a long-term trend occurs
Some entry logics employ an algorithm to determine the continuous direction of the market.If a continuous uptrend or downtrend is detected, the EA will aggressively enter in the direction of the uptrend or downtrend, and the number of entries will be increased.
This allows the trader to earn substantial profits while the trend is continuing.
The
function for simultaneous operation of multiple EAs is equipped
.These functions are useful when operating multiple EAs with limited funds.
Dozens of entry
logics
that he, a professional programmer, has developed over several months of thinking about strategies, are constantly backed up over a long period of time on four PCs.He has been constantly conducting long-term back-testing on four PCs to verify the effectiveness, make improvements, and adjust the parameters of the entry logic.
Only seven entry logics were carefully selected out of the dozens of entry logics.
■Back Test Results
It has recorded a win rate of over 80%, a PF of over 1.95, and high profits in a 10-year long-term back-test.

FAQ
Q: Can you operate with a company (broker) that is not listed in the "Broker" column?
A: Basically, it can work with any broker that officially supports MT4.
Please note that this EA is recommended to work with brokers whose time settings are GMT+2/+3.
(GMT+2/+3 is the global standard time setting for MT4 and has been adopted by most Japanese brokers as of the end of 2017.)
Q: What is GMT+2/+3? Where can I find it?
A: This is the time setting of the broker's server.
Most brokers use it mainly for "5 daily charts per week".
If you search for "(broker name) GMT" you will find a web page that describes the time settings.
Q: How often do you enter the market?
A: On average, three times a week in our 10 years of back testing.
However, the aggressiveness of entry differs greatly depending on whether the internal logic indicates a long-term trend or not.
Also, when volatility is low (when the price is not moving), entries are not made very often.
We would appreciate it if you could operate this EA with a long-term perspective, keeping in mind that it is not the type of EA that always holds a position.
Q: "Not enough memory for ~" is displayed in the "Transaction History" tab.
A: MT4 is using too much PC memory.
We cannot guarantee the operation of EA if this message is displayed in the "Transaction History" tab, so please restart immediately.
Even if you already have a position, the EA will supplement the position and resume management after restarting.
This may be caused by operational problems such as opening too many charts and technicals in one MT4 or running too many EAs, or it may be due to the broker's MT4 customization.
The cause may be due to the broker's MT4 customization, or PC performance.
You can alleviate the problem to some extent by reducing the values of "Maximum number of bars in history" and "Maximum number of bars in chart" in the MT4 options (but at least 2,000 or more).
If you feel that the behavior is not correct, please open the "Transaction History" tab and check.
Q: The back test does not work properly.
A: The back test requires a number of preparations and precautions, mainly as follows
Change the "Maximum number of bars in the history" item in MT4 to at least 5,000,000 and restart.
Obtain historical data for the period to be measured.
Generate 5-minute to monthly data from the acquired historical data, and restart (tool use is required).
Select "All ticks" for "Model" in the Strategy Tester.
For brokers that are not GMT+2/+3, change the relevant parameters of the EA.
The procedure for preparing historical data varies depending on the broker you are using.
For details, please search for "MT4 backtest historical data" or similar.
Please refer to the web page that describes the necessary steps for back testing.
Q：How should I set the time frame of the chart to run the EA?
A：The time frame of the chart is fixed internally, so you can freely choose the time frame you wish to refer to.
The same operation can be performed with any time frame.
Q：The descriptions on the parameter input screen are garbled.
A：This situation may occur with MT4, which has a problem due to significant customization by the broker, or with VPS in some special environments.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please check the numbers and descriptions in the "Parameter Descriptions" section of this page to understand the situation.
Q：What exactly should I set for the number of lots?
A: If you wish to invest in simple interest (fixed lot), please select "Compound interest?
If you wish to use simple interest (fixed lot), please select "false" for "Compound interest" and set the number of lots you wish to use in the "Number of lots for simple interest" field.
If you wish to invest in compound interest, please select "false" for "Compound interest".
If you wish to use compound interest, please select "true" for "Compound interest" and set the number of times of your fund in the "Number of leverage used for compound interest" field.
The default leverage for compounding is "6" and we recommend a maximum leverage of "10" or less for risk management.
Please note that this is not the place to enter the broker's maximum leverage.
If compounding is enabled, the following will appear on the chart
OrderLot: "Number of lots per position for compounding".
UseLeverage: "Number of leverage you have set", MaxLeverage: "Maximum leverage of the broker
MinLot: "Broker's minimum lot size", MaxLot: "Broker's maximum lot size
MarginRequiredPerLot: "Excess margin required for 1.0 lot order
Please be sure to check that each of the information displayed here is correct.
If the information is incorrect, compounding cannot be performed properly.
We have actually seen cases where brokers have set the "Maximum Broker Lot Size" and "Excess Margin Required for 1.0 Lot Order" values in MT4 to abnormal values.
(e.g. when backtesting with GEMFOREX on a demo account of XM Trading or on an older version of MT4).
Q: I am a broker with a maximum leverage of ~x and a margin of ~yen, what is the recommended number of lots to operate?
A: We recommend the number of lots that can be operated with less than 10 times leverage, which is generally recommended for risk management.
Considering the currency rates in September 2018, we recommend that you operate with less than 0.8 lots for a margin of 1 million yen.
Please use the above values as a reference to make a relative judgment.
Even if you have an account with a maximum leverage of 500 times, there is a difference in the margin until the forced loss cut, but fundamentally, there is no difference in the risk itself compared to an account with 25 times leverage, so there is no difference in this recommended value.
Q：What exactly should I do about time settings?
A：If the time setting of the broker's server is GMT+2/+3, the default setting is fine.
The main specifications for time setting parameters are as follows.
① "Do you want automatic GMT calculation?
② "The format of the broker's daylight saving time".
3) "Broker's standard time GMT"
(4) "Broker's DST GMT" (5) "Broker's standard time GMT" (6) "Broker's daylight saving time GMT"
When ① is set to "true", the values of ②, ③, and ④ are automatically set, but they cannot be automatically set correctly when the time settings in the operating environment (PC or VPS) are incorrect or during back testing.
In order to prevent the EA from being affected by the operating environment and to prevent confusion during back testing, the standard setting is "false" for ① and fixed at the GMT+2/+3 values for ②, ③, and ④.
Q: Entries and trends were different from the forward test.
A：Please understand that the chart data, spread, slippage, and execution power of each broker is different, and environmental conditions such as PCs, VPSs, and their communication lines are also different, so there are inevitably some differences in operation.
We have confirmed that more than 80% of the trades are similar if you use brokers such as "OANDA Japan Tokyo Server" or "Titan FX Blade Account" that meet the performance standards of modern brokers, and in the long run, the forward test environment of "OANDA Japan Demo Account" is more stable than the forward test environment of "Gogojan (fx-on)". We have many EAs that have better results than the "OANDA JAPAN Demo Account", which is the forward test environment on Gogojan (fx-on), in the long term, so we hope that you will consider switching to a different broker depending on the performance of the broker you are using.
A: Basically, it can work with any broker that officially supports MT4.

■Parameter Description
Basically, you do not need to change any parameters other than the number of lots and the enable/disable of the compounding operation.
The parameter names are written below, but when the EA is actually operated, they are replaced with explanatory text as shown in the image.
| Parameter Name | No. | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MagicNumber1～7 | B01 to B07 | EA magic number (unique number) 1-7 These numbers are used internally by the EA to identify the positions it has entered. If there are other EAs running at the same time, please change each magic number to a number greater than or equal to 1. Also, setting a negative value (-1, etc.) will deactivate the corresponding entry logic. |
| Comment | B08 | Character string to be written in the comment field of the order Up to 31 one-byte characters can be specified. This is mainly used by the user to keep track of the transactions made by the EA. By setting the string to 25 single-byte characters or less, including "[]" at the end of the sentence, the function to append the number corresponding to the triggered entry logic to the comment will be enabled. |
| IsEnabledCheckPropertiesAndOptions | B09 | Do you want to perform a simple check of the EA properties and MT4 options at startup? With "true", a simple check of each setting is performed at startup. If there is a clear problem, such as automatic trading is not allowed or the margin is lower than the required margin, the problem will be indicated by an alert and the EA will be terminated in some cases. |
| Parameter Name | No. | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IsEnabledAutoGMT | T01 | Automatic GMT calculation? Local PC time settings must be correct for normal operation. Since we recommend that you use a broker with GMT+2/+3, we have disabled it and fixed the settings for the following three items. Although the accuracy of some entries will be reduced, it is possible to work with brokers with time settings other than recommended, so please enable these settings if you wish to use them. If you wish to use this function, please disable it and specify the following three items when backtesting or when the local PC time is incorrect. |
| BrokerDaylight SavingTimeType | T02 | Broker daylight saving time format. Daylight saving time non-adopted, US style, and UK style are supported. For a typical GMT+2/+3 broker, specify the U.S. time. |

Generally, it is recommended to set the number to "10" or less, as it is often recommended to operate with less than 10 times leverage as risk management. Please note that this is not the place to enter the broker's maximum leverage. |
| IsEnabledDraw LotInformation | SlippagePips | Displays information about the number of lots. When compounding, please make sure that the following information displayed here is correct OrderLot: "Number of lots per position for compounding UseLeverage: "The number of leverage you have set", MaxLeverage: "The maximum leverage of the broker".

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.

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.

・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.
1 lot = 100,000 currency units
0.1 lot = 10,000 currency units
0.01 lot = 1,000 currency units
