Features
Leisurely trading with minor
currency pairsIn recent years, excellent EAs have appeared one after another for major currency pairs such as USDJPY / EURUSD, etc. FX is a zero-sum world. In other words, the stronger the opponents are, the more difficult it becomes to earn profits. Therefore, this EA was developed and verified focusing on minor currencies. As a result, we arrived at AUDCAD, which is very compatible with the contrarian logic we devised . In addition, in order to cope with the wide spreads that are a drawback of minor currencies, we will definitely take up the price range in scaling that extends from several minutes to several hours
.Effective entry with 2-step trading
This EA can hold up to two positions by setting parameters. When compounding, you can increase or decrease the lot size in the second position. In general, "nan-pinning" is avoided because of the risk of a one-shot collapse. However, moderate pick-and-pin with a firm risk limit has proven to be very useful
. As with dollar cost averaging, the more diversified the positions, the better the overall price you can trade against an unexpected market. By limiting the maximum number of positions to 2, we have achieved an EA that is easy to manage with minimal risk while maintaining this advantage.Trading Image
▲AUDCAD, Actual trading conditions. Predicts a reversal and enters up to 2 positions. Exit at the next expected reversal point. This is the best way to show your true potential in a range market.
Back Test
Default
(0.1 lot) operation, 2007-2018
▲PF 2.00 or better, 400+ trades/year, 75% or better win rate. We have stuck to this score to this point. The forward performance is roughly in line with this score, and I believe I was able to avoid over-optimization because of the smooth upward trend over the 13-year period
.Aggressive
compounding, 2016-2018This is an example of an aggressive compounding setup with high risk and high return. The parameter settings are as follows. [Stop Loss] 200 pips [Compound lot order] ON [MM_RISK] 2.0 [Lot multiplier for 2nd position] 2.0
The backtest result is as follows. (Since this is an EA running at the opening price, the results are equivalent to all the ticks.)
100,000 yen became 3,000,000 yen in 3 years
. Of course, StopLoss is large and there is a corresponding risk, but it has such potential.Setting Parameters

Q&A
Which
trading account can I use?I think it can be used with any MT4-enabled firm. We have implemented it to accommodate differences in currency names, etc. If you have any problems, please contact us at any time.
How much should MM_RISK
be set?As a rough guide, MM_RISK=20 for 25x leverage with no other EA running, and MM_RISK=2.0 for 500x leverage is highly efficient. Please make sure to confirm that the settings are reasonable in your environment before operating the EA.
Do you have any operational results on a real
account?The results verified on 3/6/2018~4/18/2018 are available at https://yzofx.com/2018/04/18/post-231/ It is still in operation and active. https://real-trade.tech/accounts/44766 ＜About the developer My name is Wai Zo and I have been developing EA for 6 years.

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)
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.
・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.
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.
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.
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.
→ Items to Check When EA is Not Operating
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.
・Risk-Return Ratio: Total Profit and Loss during the period ÷ Maximum Drawdown
・Maximum Drawdown: The largest unrealized loss during the operation period
・Maximum Position Number: This is the maximum number of positions that the EA can theoretically hold at the same time
・TP (Take Profit): The set profit-taking Pips (or specified amount, etc.) in the EA's settings
・SL (Stop Loss): The set maximum loss pips (or specified amount, etc.) in the EA's settings
・Trailing Stop: Instead of settling at a specified Pips, once a certain profit is made, the settlement SL is raised at a certain interval (towards the profit), maximizing the profit. It is a method of settlement.
・Risk-Reward Ratio (Payoff Ratio): Average Profit ÷ Average Loss
・Hedging: Holding both buy and sell positions simultaneously (Some FX companies also have types where hedging is not allowed)
