About EA's Strategy
Translating...
The results of real accounts in operation for more than 6 months are now available to the public. (Parameters are as default. The image is as of 6/5/2021.
Since there is almost no slippage in demo accounts, and the behavior of demo accounts is even different from that of real accounts, we believe that it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to disclose real accounts.
Forex brokers update their rate and price data differently from one broker to the next. Therefore, there are often differences in behavior between different brokers, and even between a real account and a demo account with the same broker.
Although these differences in behavior cannot be resolved technically, I thought it would be helpful if you could see an example of how this EA behaves and what kind of profit/loss it makes when operated by disclosing the operation status on a real account as an actual example of actual operation. I am disclosing my real account on myfxbook.

[EA Features.
The data is An EA that allows you to follow the market trend without going against it. The operating leg is the 1-minute leg.
EA The operating leg is a 1-minute leg, but the EA refers to various time technicals.
EAs that follow the trend without going against the market. This is not a type of high speed scalping, etc.
Backtesting and optimization are done using the popular high-performance backtesting software "Tickdata Suite" (also known as TDS) is used for backtesting and optimization. The TDS is a "Tickdata Suite" (a.k.a. TDS).
The history data is Dukascopy's data is used The historical data is used for backtesting and optimization.
TDS The spread tolerance is 2 pips as a result of various tests using the Tickdata Suite's pseudo-slippage function.
The number pin and martingale are Not used.
Reference data: Spread resistance The following data are backtests with the pseudo-slippage function turned on in Tickdata Suite (a.k.a. TDS) and the spread varied for each.
common setting
Variable spread function used Period 5.5.2003 (Dukascopy oldest date) to 6.4.2021 MT4 Broker FOREX EXCHANGE Stop level None Lot size 0.1 lot Initial capital 10000$.
Spread 0.5 pips minimum - 1.0 pips maximum Since EURUSD is a major currency, most brokers offer low spreads. The minimum 0.5 pips to maximum 1.0 pips assumes the average values offered by many domestic brokers.
Spread 1.0 pips min. to 1.5 pips max.
The 1.0 pips minimum to 1.5 pips maximum are assumed to be average values for brokers that are not ECN/NDD brokers and for ECN/NDD brokers that charge commissions, which are converted to pips.
Spread 1.5 pips minimum - 2.0 pips maximum The 1.5 pips minimum - 2.0 pips maximum is based on the average of brokers that are not ECN/NDD brokers and brokers that have stop level settings, such as ECN/NDD brokers with commissions that are converted to pips. The pips are assumed to be an average value.
Spread: Minimum 2.0 pips - Maximum 2.5 pips
Although it is unrealistic to expect a minimum of 2.0 pips to a maximum of 2.5 pips for EURUSD, this was done to test spread tolerance.
Installation and configuration
Click "File" - "Open Data Folder" - "MQL4" in the upper left corner of MT4 and put the EA file (Aestetica.ex4) in the "Experts" folder.
(Please refer to Gogojan's guide for more information on authentication.)
For MT4 settings, click on "Tools" - "Options" at the top of MT4, then click on the "Expert Advisor" tab.
Then check the same boxes as in the image below, click the OK button to close the dialog box, and restart MT4.
After restarting, display the 1 minute EURUSD chart and drag & drop Aestetica from the "Expert Advisors" tree in the "Navigator" screen on the left side of MT4 onto the chart.
Parameter Description】 【Parameter Description
SummerTimeMethod (initial=2)
Specifies the daylight saving time method of the operating broker.
0= Brokers with the same GMT offset throughout the year that do not have a daylight saving time system.
1= Brokers operating under the European daylight saving time system
2 = Brokers that operate under the U.S. daylight saving time system.
Natsu
Enter the GMT offset for daylight saving time for the operational broker.
MagicNumber
This is the magic number of the position to be used.
Please set the magic number appropriately so that it does not overlap with the magic numbers of other EAs.
MaxSpread
This is a spread filter.
If the spread is wider than the value specified here, no new order will be placed.
Lot
Enter the number of lots.
The minimum and maximum lot sizes vary by broker, so check the environment of each company and set accordingly.
Q & A] Q1:Can I use any broker? A1: We have no restrictions on brokers, so you can use any broker that allows trading with MT4 and EAs and can trade EURUSD. Q2: Can I use either yen-denominated, dollar-denominated, or euro-denominated accounts? A2: Yes, you can. Q3: My operating broker is OOOO. Is it suitable for the operation of this EA? A3: I am sorry, but I have no experience using a broker other than the one I am managing, and I do not know if it is suitable. Q4: I would like to know the daylight saving time method and GMT offset during daylight saving time for the brokers I manage. A4: I am sorry, but I am not aware of any information other than the broker I am managing. Please contact your broker directly. Q5: How much is the minimum initial investment?
A5: We are sorry, but we cannot answer about the investment amount or lot size, as this is investment advice. This is just reference data, but the test result of 0.1 lot with an initial capital of $10,000 (about 1 million yen) shows that the maximum loss was $193.85 (1.35%). If we take the test result as 1/10, it is equivalent to the test result of about $19.39 when converted to 0.01 lots with an initial capital of $1000 (about 100,000 yen). Q6: I set up my MT4, but it does not trade. A6: It is a prerequisite that EAs have been successfully installed and the basic MT4 settings have been successfully completed, but if there is no error warning on the left side of the chart, a smiley face on the upper right side of the chart, and no error history in the Expert tab screen in the MT4 terminal, it is normal. If there is no error history in the Expert tab of the MT4 terminal, it is normal. Depending on the timing, there may be no trades for a few days, so please wait until there is a trade. Q7: I cannot backtest. A7: It is a prerequisite that the EAs have been successfully installed and the basic MT4 settings have been successfully completed, but please make sure that all history data from 1 minute to monthly is available, that the currency pair is EURUSD, and that the time frame to be tested is 1 minute. Also, please make sure that the spread at the time of testing does not exceed the MaxSpread value of the EA parameters, and that there is no error history in the Operation History tab of the MT4 tester. Q8: The results are different from GogoJan's forwards, and there were no trades in my account. A8: In Forex, the frequency of updating the data of delivered rates and prices differs from broker to broker. Therefore, the behavior of different brokers and even demo accounts of the same broker often differ from each other. However, I would like to show you how this EA behaves and what kind of profit/loss it makes by showing you how it works in a real account as an actual example. We are disclosing the account on myfxbook so that you can see an example of how this EA behaves and what kind of profit/loss it makes.
If you would like, we would be happy to make a decision based on the importance of real account data.

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)
