Logic Overview
This is an anomaly EA that takes advantage of the tendency for the dollar-yen to rise due to actual demand and then fall before the mid-price is determined on the day of the month when the day is a multiple of 5. It is a simple but powerful logic. Specifically, the following transactions will be made.
■Buy entry at 3:30 JST on Gotoh day and close at 9:55 JST.
(If Monday is a goto day, no buy entry will be made.)
■Sell entry at 9:55am and close at 14:45pm.
■Time setting can be changed by parameter.
If the goto day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the weekday immediately preceding the goto day will be considered the goto day.
If the last day of the month is the last day of the month, the 31st day of the month is considered to be the goto day.
Trading will be suspended on December 25 and December 31-January 3.

Parameter Description
Basically, only the basic setting items need to be changed.
All backtests will be results with default settings.
The parameters are optimized for the last 13 years.
Please be assured that we do not over-optimize.
-------------Basic Settings------------------
■Trading lot (default value: 1.0)
This is the trading lot setting when compounding is not used.
■Compounding (default: false)
true: Compounding is performed
false: Do not compound interest
Lot for compounding (per 1,000,000 yen) (Default: 1.0)
This is the setting of the lot for an account balance of 1,000,000 yen.
Example: Default value [1.0
Account balance 1,000,000 yen = 1.0 Lot
Account balance 1.5 million yen = 1.5 Lot
Account balance of 2.25 million yen = 2.25 lots
For a dollar account, the following applies.
Example: If the set value [100.0
Account balance $10,000 = 1.0 Lot
Account balance $15,000 = 1.5 Lot
Account balance $22,500 = 2.25 Lot
The internal calculated values are as follows
Account Balance / 1,000,000 x Compounding Lot (per 1,000,000 yen)
■Compound Interest Lot Calculation Criteria (Initial value: account balance)
The previous parameter: Calculation basis for compounding lot (per 1,000,000 yen).
Select from the following three options in the pull-down menu.
Account Balance
Effective margin
Excess margin
GMT Offset (winter time) (-12 to 12) (Default value: 2)
Enter the value for your broker.
■Daylight Saving Time Method (Default: U.S. Time)
Select the daylight saving time method from the following three options.
Select the daylight saving time method from the following three options.
U.S. daylight saving time (2nd Sunday in March to 1st Sunday in November)
British: Daylight saving time (last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)
No
! Attention !
Please set the above two parameters carefully.
The correct setting is indicated in the upper left corner of the chart.
You can determine if the current time (Japan time) is correct.
(However, this cannot be checked on weekends when the servers are down.)
■Magic number (initial value: 220821)
Can be changed to any value.
Please make sure that the value does not overlap with other EAs running within the same MT4.
■Slippage (Default value: 5)
Effective when the execution rule is the streaming method.
If the trade slips by 5 points or more, it will not be executed.
A point is the minimum unit.
If USDJPY is displayed as 123.456 for a broker, the digit displayed as 6 (default value: 5) will be used as the minimum unit.
6 (third decimal place).
If the execution rule is based on the countdown method, it will be ignored.
The execution rule is set by the broker and cannot be changed.
Most brokers use the latter.
No changes are recommended for parameters after *.
--------Buy transaction settings--------
■Buy transactions (default: true)
true: Buy transactions are executed
false: No buy transaction
Buy entry (hour) (-9 (=15:00 the previous day) to 9) (Default: 3)

Buy close (hour) (-9 (= 3:00 p.m. the previous day) to 23) (initial value: 9)
Buy close (minutes) (0-59) (initial value: 55)
About entering *(hour)
The hour is based on 0:00 on the day of the goto date. If the hour is negative, it is the hour of the day before the goto date.
For example, -9 means 15:00 (24-9) on the day before the goto date.
In case of -1, it will be 23:00 (24-1) on the day before the goto date.
In case of -3, it will be 3:00 p.m. on the day of the draw (the day of the draw).

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)
