About EA's Strategy
Translating...
Thank you for your interest in Amaterasu. Amaterasu is a Nanjin-Martin type EA.
【Introduction】 Amaterasu is a solid swing-type long-term operation EA aimed at increasing assets tenfold over more than 15 years of operation. We have conducted thorough backtesting, measured the margin maintenance rate, and set a leverage that will not trigger a forced liquidation. Depending on the settings, Amaterasu can achieve profits of several tens of millions of yen over 15 years in backtesting, but this is not realistically achievable. The reason we measure and adjust the margin maintenance rate during backtesting is that in MT4 backtesting, even if the margin maintenance rate falls below 100% (for example, down to 53%), the backtest will still complete successfully. However, forced liquidations by domestic FX brokers are executed when the margin maintenance rate falls below 100%. Therefore, even if the backtest completes successfully and assets increase steadily, the possibility of the EA being forcibly liquidated in actual operation cannot be denied. Amaterasu measures the "minimum margin maintenance rate" during the 15-year backtesting period to ensure that forced liquidations do not occur and adjusts the leverage to allow for asset growth without strain. Of course, customers can adjust the leverage to set a more comfortable "minimum margin maintenance rate" for safer operation. By setting the parameter "Debug Mode" to true and conducting backtesting, the "minimum margin maintenance rate" and "maximum floating loss" will be logged to a file after the backtest is completed.
【Points to Note】
For the operating account,please ensure that you operate with a domestic FX broker that executes forced liquidations when the margin maintenance rate is below 100%.
In the 15 years of backtesting, there were no forced liquidations, but in actual operation, there have been three forced liquidations.
With brokers that execute forced liquidations at a margin maintenance rate of 100%, there is a possibility of recovering some account assets.
【About Settlement】 Amaterasu is a Nanjin-Martin type EA. If the market moves against the position after entry, it will perform Nanjin. Basically, loss cutting is not considered (you can choose to turn loss cutting ON or OFF in the parameters). In general Nanjin EAs, take profit is set in pips, but there is a possibility that the market may move against the position again just before reaching that pips value, resulting in floating losses. Amaterasu has implemented "Bollinger Band Take Profit Rule," "CCI Take Profit Rule," and "Breakeven Settlement Mode" to secure as much profit as possible. These functions can be turned ON or OFF individually. ・"Bollinger Band Take Profit Rule" means that when the rate reaches the Bollinger Band σ line without any floating losses, profit will be secured. ・"CCI Take Profit Rule" means that when CCI exceeds (falls below) the set value without any floating losses, profit will be secured. ・"Breakeven Settlement Mode" means that when the rate moves against the position and multiple Nanjin positions are held, the settlement will occur when the rate returns and the floating loss is eliminated. 【About Leverage】 The order lot is determined by the parameters "Base Capital" and "Trading Lot." The "number of trading lots per base capital" is calculated. For example, if the base capital = 1,000,000 and trading lot = 0.01, the order will be for 0.01 lots per 1 million yen, and if the account balance becomes 2 million yen, the order will be for 0.02 lots (there may be slight discrepancies). The calculation formula for the order lot is as follows. [a: Effective Margin = Account Balance + Account Profit] Yukou = AccountBalance() + AccountProfit(); [b: b = Effective Margin ÷ Base Capital] b = Yukou / Kijyun; [c: Order Lot = b × Trading Lot] Lots = NormalizeDouble(b * BaseLots, 2); By increasing the base capital and decreasing the trading lot, leverage will decrease. Conversely, by decreasing the base capital and increasing the trading lot, leverage will increase. 【About Debug Mode】 If you set the parameter "Debug Mode" to "true," a debug log will be output at the end of the backtest or when the EA is removed from the chart. The path where the log is output is "(MT4 data folder)\tester\files." The log will include the minimum margin maintenance rate during the backtesting period. 【About Default Parameter Values】 When conducting backtesting with the default settings (USD/JPY 5-minute chart, spread 5 (0.5 pips)), from January 7, 2005, to October 31, 2020, a margin of 1 million yen increases to just under 12 million yen. The minimum margin maintenance rate during the backtesting period was 334%. If you want to make the margin maintenance rate safer, please adjust the parameters "Base Capital" and "Trading Lot."

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)
