Features of Surfing USDJPY


Surfing USDJPY" is a scalar EA exclusively for USDJPY that follows the price movement and opens a forward (trend-following) position when it detects an instantaneous sharp rise or fall in the market.

Even for currency pairs with relatively low volatility, such as the dollar-yen, several entries are made per day to steadily increase profits. In addition, when the market moves significantly, the trailing function is used to extend profits.

Changes in Ver. 2.02 Added parameter "ATRStop" and added a function to set stop-loss range according to ATR value. The parameter "Trend" was added, and a trend filter function was added. Default values for the parameters "Lots," "StopLoss," "OpeningTime," "ClosingTime," "TrailPoint," "TrailStart," "CutTime," and "CutPoint" were changed.

Changes in Ver. 2.01 The setting values of the parameters "RangePeriod" and "RangeSize" related to the volatility filter were changed to be more restrictive.

Changes in Ver. 2.00 A volatility filter has been added to suppress entry during high volatility conditions. An entry randomization function has been added (disabled by default). Fixed a problem in which the trail function did not work correctly when the parameter "TrailStart" was set to "1".

Changes in Ver1.06

Default parameters were reviewed and the setting values for "OpeningTime", "CutPoint", and "ExitTime" were changed.


Changes in Ver1.05 Added stealth settlement function that internally settles positions when the price range specified by TakeProfit and StopLoss is reached, without setting a settlement limit (T/P) or settlement stop (S/L) on the position. The parameter "Stealth" is added. Default parameters have been reviewed and the setting values for "TakeProfit," "StopLosse," "OpeningTime," and "ClosingTime" have been changed.

Changes in Ver1.04

The addition of the RSI filter and changes to the set values of the parameters "TrailTime" and "TurnOverTime".


Changes in Ver1.03 Fixed a bug that [TrailTime] was in minutes instead of seconds and changed the parameters "OpeningTime", "ClosingTime", "TrailTime", "BreakevenTime" and "ExitPoint".


Changes in Ver1.02 Time zone restriction and day-of-week filter functions were added. Time zone limit function Specify the entry start and end time by specifying the parameters "OpeningTime" and "ClosingTime". Day of the week filter function Specify whether to enter on that day of the week by setting the parameters "Monday," "Tuesday," "Wednesday," "Thursday," "Friday," and "Saturday" to true or false, respectively.


Changes in Ver1.01 Change in elapsed time settlement function The elapsed time settlement function now includes settlement at the elapsed time and stop-loss range specified by parameters. Change in Trailing Start Time The parameter TrailTime has been shortened.


Parameter Setting

Lots
Specify the number of lots for the position.

Stealth. Specifies whether or not to set the settlement limit (T/P) and stop loss (S/L) for the position. true (default) means that the position will not be set, but will be settled internally when the price reaches the range specified by TakeProfit and StopLoss.

Randomize Specifies whether to randomize entries; if true, randomization is performed; if false (default), no randomization is performed.

TakeProfit
Specify the profit margin in points. The specified value will be set as the settlement limit price (T/P).

StopLoss
Specify the stop-loss range in points. The specified value is set as it is for the settlement stop loss (S/L). It is recommended to set a value other than 0 to prevent unrealized losses from growing indefinitely.

Slippage
Set the allowable level of slippage between the order price and the execution price when placing an order for a new position. If the allowed range is exceeded, the order will not be executed.

Spreads
Set how much difference (spread) between the bid and ask prices (BID and ASK) you are willing to tolerate when placing an order for a new position. If the allowed range is exceeded, the order will not be placed.

ServerTime Specifies whether to use system time or server time for the opening time (OpeningTime) and closing time (ClosingTime) of the entry. If false (default), system time is used; if true, server time is used. OpeningTime Sets the start time for opening a new position. ClosingTime Sets the closing time for opening a new position: 0 for OpeningTim and 24 for ClosingTime, or 9 for OpeningTim and 30 for ClosingTime. The time to open a new position is from 0:00 to 24:00 when OpeningTim is set to 0 and ClosingTime is set to 24. Monday Specifies whether or not new entries will be made on Monday; if true (default), entries will be made; if false, no entries will be made. Tuesday Specifies whether new entries are made on Tuesday; if true (default), entries are made; if false, no entries are made. Wednesday Specifies whether new entries are made on Wednesday; if true (default), entries are made; if false, no entries are made. Thursday Specifies whether or not new entries will be made on Thursday; if true (default), they will be made; if false, they will not be made. Friday Specifies whether or not new entries will be made on Friday; if true (default), they will be made; if false, they will not be made. Saturday Specifies whether or not new entries will be made on Saturday; if true, they will be made; if false (the default), they will not be made.

TrailPoint
Specify the price range of the trail in terms of the number of points. If the rate exceeds the specified number of points x 2 from the open price, the settlement stop limit will be changed to the open price + (n-1) x the specified number of points.

TrailTime
Sets the elapsed time in seconds to start trailing; a value of 0 indicates that trailing will begin regardless of the elapsed time, while a value of 1 or more indicates that trailing will begin after the specified time has elapsed.

TrailStart
Specify an integer value for the position at which the trail will begin. 0 means that the trail will not begin at the specified position. 1 or more means that the trail will begin when the open price + (TrailStart x TrailPoint) is exceeded for long positions, and when the open price - (TrailStart x TrailPoint) is below for short positions. -TrailStart has priority over TrailTime.

CutTime
Set whether or not settlement processing will be performed after the specified time has elapsed in seconds. 0 means no settlement processing. If 0, no settlement is performed; if settlement is performed, an integer value of 1 or more is set.

CutPoint
The settlement process will be performed when the open price plus this number of points exceeds the current rate.

BreakevenTime Sets whether or not to perform the tie-breaking operation after the specified time has elapsed in seconds. 0 means no tie-breaking operation is performed. If 0, no tie-breaking is performed; if 1 or more integer values are set, tie-breaking is performed.

If 0, no stop-loss settlement is performed; if 0, no stop-loss settlement is performed. ExitPoint Determines whether or not settlement will be processed after the specified time has elapsed. Settlement will be processed when the open price plus this number of points exceeds the current rate.

TurnOverTime
Specify the elapsed time to determine whether to close the current position when a market reversal is detected. However, if there is an unrealized loss, the position will not be closed.

RangePeriod Specify the period (number of bars in the chart) for calculating the price range to determine filtering by volatility. RangeSize Specify the range of values to be filtered by volatility.

ATRStop Specifies whether or not to set the stop loss according to the ATR value. true: The stop loss is set according to the ATR value. Trend Specifies whether or not a trend filter is applied. true (default) suppresses entries that go against the trend.

RSI Specifies whether or not the RSI filter is used on entry; if true (default), it is used; if false, it is not used.

About Forex Automated Trading
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.
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)

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you encounter an error with Web authentication, or if the EA is trading on GogoJungle's forward performance page but not on your own account, there could be various reasons. For more details, please refer to the following link:
 → Items to Check When EA is Not Operating
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.
・Profit Factor: Total Profit ÷ Total Loss
・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)
