About EA's Strategy
Translating...
This " Averaging BBHL band H1 for CJ" is an EA for Canadian Dollar Yen (CADJPY) that aims to secure profit in short-term ups and downs based on the daily Bollinger Bands (BB) and the highest and lowest price lines over the last few days and tens of days.
Based on the daily BB and the highest and lowest price lines, the EA judges whether the market is settling within a certain price range (range trend) or whether a trend has broken out of a certain price range and a trade is executed.
If the market is stable, we trade on a range basis (sell when the market is above the price range, buy when the market is below the price range).
When an uptrend or downtrend is occurring, we trade on a trend-following basis (trend-following while aiming for a slight price return), aiming for short-term price ups and downs.
By doing so, we are able to accumulate profits in both trending and ranging markets.
In addition, by setting the stop-loss line with the lowest or highest price in the last few days or dozens of days in mind, we try to reduce stop-losses and improve our profit and win rates.
For entry timing, we use the logic of "BB break+ H1 for GJ" ( EA here ) and try to enter on short-term BB breaks to reduce unintentional entries and enter only when expectations are high.
After the first order, when the market moves in a negative direction, we increase the number of lots and add positions (nanpin orders) the closer (deeper) we get to the edge of the range to make the average price of the positions held superior.
Please refer to this article, " Key Points of the Trading Logic of the Averaging BBHL band H1 Series," which explains the trading logic of this EA in more detail.
# Fixed operation (no compounding operation)

■ EA settings, etc. This EA operates on a 1-hour time frame basis. Entry and close decisions are made using only data that has already been determined on the 1-hour time frame. Since the entry is made based on the already determined conditions, the difference between the back test and actual operation is minimized.
Please change only the following parameters as necessary.
| parameter | Contents |
|---|---|
| MagicNumberB | This is the magic number for the first buy order. Each additional order will use this number plus one. Basically, there is no need to change this number. However, if you are going to use this EA for multiple trades in the same currency, please change this number for each of the trades. |
| MagicNumberS | This is the magic number for the first sell order. Each additional order uses this number plus one. |
| Lots | The number of lots for the first order. The default is 1,000 currency (0.01), so please adjust according to your budget. Based on this, when placing additional orders (nan-pinning), the number of orders is multiplied by the depth from the first order and the "nan-pinning factor. |
| Maximum Lots | The maximum total number of lots for each position. If this maximum number of lots is exceeded, no position will be held. |
| Compound interest operation threshold | To disable compounding (fix the number of lots to the Lots setting), set 0. Enter the base amount for compounding. The default value is 2 million yen (=2000000).
|
| Allowable Spread | Specify how far you will allow the spread to widen. If the spread widens beyond this value, the entry will be held back. |
| trade mode | Set "Automatic," "Buy Only," or "Sell Only. Buy Only" will trade only buy trades, and "Sell Only" will trade only sell trades. Automatic" will trade both buy and sell. |
| Maximum number of positions | This is the maximum number of positions. However, if the "Maximum Lots" below is exceeded, no position will be held. |
| Nanpin coefficient (buy), Nanpin coefficient (sell) | This is the coefficient when placing a buy or sell order respectively. When placing additional orders (nan-pinning), the number of orders is calculated by multiplying the depth from the initial order by the "nan-pinning coefficient. |
| Maximum Take Profit | Set the maximum take profit value (specified in pips), which is valid only when the value is greater than 10 and less than or equal to 1000, and the range of the settlement limit price from the order value at the time of entry is within the specified value. (However, since the settlement limit price is determined based on the open price at the time of entry, it may be exceeded if entry is delayed.) The initial value is set at 160 (=conventional operation). |
| maximum stop loss | Set the maximum stop loss value (specified in pips), which is valid only when set to a value greater than 10 and less than or equal to 1000, and the range between the order value at the time of entry and the stop value is within the specified value. (However, since the Stop value is determined based on the Open value at the time of entry, the Stop value may be exceeded if entry is delayed.) The default value is 250 (=conventional operation). |

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)
