Product Overview
Thank you for visiting TridaggerΧ.
TridaggerΧ is a fixed-time trading EA that "makes entries and exits at pre-set times.
When I write "maximum position 2," I don't mean that I will be na-pinning, but rather that I will have one position each in Long and Short.
I myself use it as an anomaly type EA that goes for price movements around the midpoint or on goto days.
My operating results in my real account are as follows.
(Starting at 300,000 yen on March 14, 2022. Running five attached dollar-yen set files in uniform lots.)
<Differences from other anomaly EAs
Many developers have already created anomaly-type EAs, and many of them are very good.
One of the characteristics of TridaggerΧ compared to other anomaly EAs is that it is highly customizable.
The following parameters can be set for Long and Short respectively.
- Day of the week to trade
- Days to trade (can be set for each day of the week)
- Entry time (settable in seconds)
- Exit time (settable in seconds)
- TP, SL
- Pips to trigger trail (fixed value)
- Pips triggered by trail (fluctuation value by ATR)
- Trail offset pips ( how many pips away from the trail triggering pips to start the trail)
- Pips between trail updates ( how many pips from the trail activation pips the trail is updated each time it moves in the direction of the position)
- Entry filter by RSI
- spread filter
By allowing these to be set at will, the
- Take measures against brokers, such as avoiding spread widening times
- Reduce operational burden by finding the right setpoints for you.
- Detailed verification and optimization of the middle price logic.
- Pseudo-replication of other brokerage EAs
Such things as the following are possible.
(Since it may be difficult for beginners to set up the system from scratch, I will also include a set file of my actual operation.)
I myself did not have the money to buy all the anomaly EAs, so I created multiple logics with this EA and am running them simultaneously.
Use Cases and Backtests
I myself created several set files, such as(I myself stopped operating Eurodollar at the time of MT5 onwards (March 2022).
We combine multiple set files and use them in the form of a multi-positive EA that makes more entries on days with high expected value.
1. dollar-yen goto day trade
It is a famous anomaly.
2. dollar-yen daily trade
I can't wait until goto day or the end of the month, as I have a positive-positive disease, so I also run the trade setup every day.
3. dollar-yen EA1 Grand Prix setting
This setting is similar to the one used for the EA1 Grand Prix, which produced a profit of 100,000 yen in three months.
*They were not exactly the same at the time because we did not implement variable trails or RSI filters, and we limited the trading days a bit more.
4. eurodollar daily trade
I am not satisfied with just daily trades for dollar-yen, as I have a positive-positive disease, so I am also running a daily trade setup for euro-dollar.
Portfolio in addition.1-4
In all setup examples, the long-term backtests show a steady increase in performance.
The graph also shows that the drawdowns have been very small and stable in recent years.
*All backtests are 0.1 lot fixed, TDS variable spread, from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2021.
Since the day of the week and date of trading can be set, it is possible to be unbeatable in a back test if you do a grueling optimization, but we use a loose optimization.
Strengths of TridaggerΧ
In my opinion, TridaggerΧ's strengths are threefold
Basic logic is simple and powerful
The basic logic of the Tridagger Χ is simply this: "Enter at the specified time and exit at the specified time.
It is a very simple, but powerful logic that can produce steady long-term results even with "daily entries" that are not optimized for dates or days of the week at all.The reason this is important is that we do not know if the set values that produced good results in the optimized period are really good or just coincidental.
If it is really good, it may last for a long time to come, but if it is just a coincidence, you may not win as soon as you start operating it.
Therefore, I emphasize that the logic is strong enough with almost no optimization.
Difficulty in divergence of results due to the operating environment
Since TridaggerΧ is a very simple logic, it is difficult to have divergence in performance due to "actual operation and back-testing" or "each user's operating environment".
Therefore, I think that the divergence in performance due to differences in the operating environment, such as back-testing and real accounts, real and demo accounts, brokerage firms, VPS, etc., is relatively small.
(Deviations may occur due to differences in spreads, delivery rates, tick counts, etc., among brokerage firms.)
Therefore, I think the following problems are less likely to occur compared to a typical EA.
- I lost an entry that was not in the official forward.
- Significant differences in operational results between back-test and real accounts
(In the EA I developed, the 0:00 AM sca and reverse second sca EAs were unbeatable in backtests, but in real accounts they slipped and the results dropped dramatically.)
Detailed settings can be configured to suit the brokerage firm and the operator.
TridaggerΧ is open to almost all parameters.
Therefore, it is possible to change the settings to match the brokerage's stop level, avoid spread widening times, and so on.
It also eliminates the following irrational concerns of operators, which are generally considered "bad"
- Posy-posy disease makes me restless if I don't trade every day => Set up to trade every day.
- Unable to resist profit taking => Set to start trailing at a shallow unrealized profit of about 10 pips.
*Because the underlying logic is so strong, even with somewhat irrational settings, long-term back-testing has been profitable.
Conclusion
TraidaggerΧ is an EA that I have developed and improved to solve my own EA operational problems.
I am rather not a good trader, and when I was using regular commercial EAs, I had the following problems.
- I don't know when to take a position. I get bored if there are days when I don't make any entries. →I buy a new EA to increase the number of entries.
- Unable to bear unrealized profits that are uncertain when they will be taken. →I regret that I missed the profit because I took the profit manually.
- It is hard to endure unrealized losses that are uncertain when they will be resolved and how much they will increase. →I can't do anything because I'm worried about unrealized losses.
Most commercial EAs have unknown logic, so there are many "unknowns" that increase the sense of uncertainty.
I believe that as a result, they will not be able to make rational decisions and will act irrationally and lose.
TridaggerΧ, which I developed to solve these problems, clarifies when and under what conditions to enter (exit), and allows you to set the entry (exit) conditions yourself.
This has increased the predictability of trades, reduced uncertainty, and reduced the number of irrational decisions.
I hope I can be of some help to those who have problems like mine.

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)
