Logic Features □■ Logic Features □■ Logic Features □■ Logic Features
Cradle's most unique feature is that it does not use a fixed take profit ("TP") and does not require the user to set a fixed SL value for stop loss ("SL"), but uses internal logic to trade at an appropriate SL that matches market volatility.
However, the maximum value can be set for SL because there is a risk that positions may be exposed to greater volatility than allowed for losses.
See the following table

This table shows the results of backtesting Cradle's maximum SL value, changing it by 20 pips.
The maximum SL value at which the Recovery Factor ("RF"), Profit Factor ("PF"), etc. are highest is 120 pips, but 60 pips was adopted as the default setting to balance with other statuses.
Cradle can also perform to a certain extent with a narrower maximum SL value. As shown in the table above, Cradle can operate from a maximum SL value of 20 pips.Best performance with a maximum SL value of 120ipps Cradle can be operated from a maximum SL value of 20 pips.
The results of each backtest report can be viewed below.

Next, look at the "SL OFF" column on the far right of the table above.
This is literally the result of backtesting with no maximum SL value (correctly set at 10000 pips). Even without setting a fixed TP and fixed SL, we can confirm that the performance is on par with the others.
Cradle uses its internal logic to respond to the endless ups and downs of price fluctuations with an appropriate SL range each time, ensuring that it captures the profits it can.
This is exactly what this "Allow yourself to be swayed by market fluctuations The logic of the "market" is characterized by the fact that it is

Mental-friendly high winning rate □□■

This logic has a high winning rate, so it is designed to be mentally friendly and difficult to lose. During the development process, the winning rate was increased to 83%, but this resulted in too small risk reward (average winning trades divided by average losing trades, hereafter RR) and too few trades.77% win rate As mentioned above, the RR is too small.
As mentioned above, even if the RR is reduced and the win rate is increased, it is meaningless to have a burnt field after a single loss, so we focused on overall balance.

■□ Balance of earnings on an annual basis □■

The results for 2011, 2012, and 2018 are low, but the other years are generally well balanced at around $600. Of particular note is the very good performance in 2019, when a number of EAs were out of shape.
EA's Struggling Year. 2019 was said to Good market for Cradle It was. In addition, Cradle's core logic uses the RCI indicator, which is not used in other EAs, and is Expectations that the correlation with other EAs is likely to be low and work to compensate for the losses of other EAs It is thought to be able to do so.
Balance between long and short

The above image is a pie chart about the balance between long (buy positions) and short (sell positions).
Based on the idea that long and short positions have different price movement characteristics, Cradle has developed long and short positions as separate entities. Of course, the core logic is the same, but the entry and exit timings are designed independently. Therefore, as shown in the image above, longs and shorts trade in a balanced 49:51 ratio.
The resulting profit/loss graph for the past 10 years is shown in the image below.

The first half of the year, May 2011 - March 2012, was a drawdown. However, since then, we have seen a steady increase in profits at about the same angle every year until now December 2019. 2018 has seen a bit of a struggle, but we have been able to make up for it.Highest profits as if rewinding in 2019. We are doing so.
Statistical forecast profit/loss □■
The graph below shows statistical projections for the future operation of Cradle.

The backtest was conducted through 12/21/2019, and the red graph shows the projected profit/loss for the next 270 trades (in about 2 years) based on the statistical data of the backtest. The graph shows the expected profit/loss for the next 270 trades (about 2 years from now) based on the statistical data of the back test. It is not very reliable, butExpect the same angle of steady growth as before. but it can be done.

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)
