About EA's Strategy

⅛VictoryBlennd USDJPY underwent a significant version upgrade in March 2024 (ver3.0). Specifically, Logic 1 and Logic 2 have been replaced with different logic, and the settlement logic of Logic 3 has been strengthened. Logic 1 ⊲ Changed from a scalping logic for buying on dips and selling on recoveries in the early morning to a trend-following logic with small losses and large profits, entering between 10 AM and 7 PM Japan time. Logic 2 ⊲ Changed from a scalping logic for buying on dips and selling on recoveries in the early morning to a fixed-time (anomaly) logic that only enters long positions early on the 5th day of the month. Logic 3 ⊲ Maintains the short-term counter-trend entry while strengthening the settlement logic. ⅛The following describes the VictoryBlend_USDJPY_M5 "ver3.0" (significant version upgrade in March 2024) and its data.
What is VictoryBlend_USDJPY?
VictoryBlend_USDJPY is an EA for scalping and day trading consisting of three different types of logic.About Each Logic
VictoryBlend_USDJPY is composed of the following three logics. 【Logic 1】・・・・・・ Entry is made in the direction of the trend when certain conditions are met from Tokyo time to London time. It is a trend-following logic with small losses and large profits. 【Logic 2】・・・・・・ Long entry is made when certain conditions are met early on the 5th day of the month. 【Logic 3】・・・・・・ A short-term counter-trend entry logic using oscillator-type indicators in the early morning Japan time. Positions are settled within the same day. In this EA's strategy, the three logics operate independently and aim to generate balanced profits collectively, but it is also possible to turn each logic on or off based on settings. For example, you can operate using only one of the three logics or only two of them.
Backtest (ver3.0)
Below is the backtest using variable spreads (0.1 lots/USD). ⅛Conducted using Dukascopy's historical data with the default settings of TickDataSuite. Total trades: 5892, Profit: $15418.65, Maximum drawdown: $549.01, Win rate: 59.79%, Profit factor: 1.39, Recovery factor: 28.08.
This shows the profit and loss by year. Most years are positive on an annual basis, and it has been generating solid profits recently.
Forward results published on a real account!
VictoryBlend_USDJPY isoperated on the developer's real account, and daily trading results are being published.. ⅛Measurement started on October 15, 2021 (0.01 lots/Yen account). ⅛Measurement has been switched to "ver3.0" since March 11, 2024. The results of the operation on a real account are considered the most necessary data to measure the true capability of this EA. If you are even slightly interested in this EA, please check the performance in real trading.

Q&A
QPlease tell me your recommended securities companies or brokers. AIn backtests, narrower spreads yield better results. We recommend brokers with as narrow spreads as possible. QCan it be operated with currency pairs other than USDJPY? AThis EA is dedicated to USDJPY, so it cannot be operated with other currency pairs. QCan you provide detailed information about the logic? AWe sincerely apologize, but the details of the logic are kept confidential. QWill it definitely be profitable? AThis is not limited to this EA, but if the market does not align with the logic, there is a high possibility of incurring losses. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that profits will always be made, and there may be cases of losses instead. QIs it okay to run it simultaneously with other EAs? AYes. However, if the magic numbers are the same, please change the number for use. QIs it okay to keep it running continuously? AWe aim to develop an EA that can be operated continuously for long periods, but there is a possibility of drawdowns expanding or stagnating. In such cases, continuing to operate may lead to increased losses, so please decide whether to continue operating the EA based on certain criteria such as the amount of drawdown and allowable loss.

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)
