Translating...
February 1, 2025
The FOMC stop has been revised.
January 11, 2025
The Bank of Japan, CPI (U.S.), FOMC, and holiday stops have been updated for 2025.
No other logic changes have been made.
January 6, 2024
The Bank of Japan, CPI (U.S.), FOMC, and holiday stops have been updated for 2024.
No other logic changes have been made.
This EA is designed to generate high profits while keeping drawdowns low by complementing each other's losses through diverse logic and parameter settings.
Since the beginning of this year, it has maintained high performance while other mid-price EAs have struggled.
Real performance (data prior to April is not yet reflected)
The following is backtest data with TDS default settings.
Analysis results using the Monte Carlo method
Beast can be set with various parameters to match the environment.
Below is an example of changing parameter settings. No filters (FOMC, CPI, Bank of Japan)
Regarding positioning
It can enter up to 4 positions simultaneously, which may lead to unexpected losses due to sudden market fluctuations. Therefore,please check thelot settings that match your operating fundsbefore use.
Others
I cannot answer questions regarding personal DMs or investment advice (such as operation or timing of operation stops, amount of funds, operation lots, optimal brokers, etc.). In particular, we will take strict action against acts that violate morals, such as defamation.
We will continue to develop better products and provide them to our customers, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Logic1_Others Logic1 other settings 1
Logic1_publicholiday_stop = true; Logic1 holiday entry On/Off (supports holidays up to the 2023 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications calendar)
In the long logic, this applies to entries on the day before the holiday and does not apply on the holiday itself.
Example: If the 25th is a holiday, entry is prohibited on the night of the 24th, but there is a possibility of entry on the 25th.
Logic1_Yearend_stop = true; Logic1 year-end and New Year entry stop period
Controls entries during the year-end and New Year, prohibiting entries from specified dates to specified dates
Logic1_End_year_Month = 12; Logic1 year-end (month) Logic1_End_year_day_start = 16; Logic1 start (day) Logic1_End_year_day_end = 31; Logic1 end (day) Logic1_New_year_Month = 1; Logic1 New Year (month) Logic1_New_year_day_start = 1; Logic1 start (day) Logic1_New_year_day_end = 5; Logic1 end (day) Logic1_Others2 = "Logic1_Others2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Logic1 other settings 2
Specify trail prohibition days Logic1_Trail_stop_buy_cancel_day_start1 = 0;//Logic1 long trail cancel (day) Input the day you want to avoid the trail (day) For example, for long, it would be from the previous day, so 24 Logic1_Trail_stop_buy_cancel_day_end1 = 0;//Logic1 long trail cancel (day) end Input the day you want to avoid the trail (day) On the day, 25, to cancel the trail specified day (24-25) Logic1_Trail_stop_sell_cancel_day_start1 = 0;//Logic1 short trail cancel (day) start On the day, so 25 Logic1_Trail_stop_sell_cancel_day_end1 = 0;//Logic1 short trail cancel (day) end 25 Cancel the trail specified day (25-25) Specify entry prohibition
Prohibit entries on indicator days or specific days that you want to stop in advance.
Additionally, by suppressing periods or days that statistically lack significance in past tests such as BT, unnecessary entries can be eliminated, improving performance.
For example, if you want to prohibit long trades at the end of February
Logic1_Trade_buy_cancel_day_month1 = 0;//Logic1 long entry prohibition (month): 2
Logic1_Trade_buy_cancel_day_start1 = 0;//Logic1 long entry prohibition (day) start: 19 (long is from the previous day)
Logic1_Trade_buy_cancel_day_end1 = 0;//Logic1 long entry prohibition (day) end: 29
Logic1_Trade_sell_cancel_day_month1 = 0;//Logic1 short entry prohibition (month) Month you want to avoid short entries
Logic1_Trade_sell_cancel_day_start1 = 0;//Logic1 short entry prohibition (day) start For example, if you want to prohibit entries from the 10th to the 25th; 10
Logic1_Trade_sell_cancel_day_end1 = 0;//Logic1 short entry prohibition (day) end Cancel entries on the specified day (10-25); 25

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)
