CloudCross5 Logic Description

// About this EA

GBPJPY 1-hour chart (H1) trend-following swing trading with a pyramiding feature that adds to positions when there is unrealized profit, giving a trading edge. Default on. It opens multiple positions. It also includes multiple settlement/logics to handle complex market environments.

// Features of this EA

Using an original indicator refined from the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo as the basis, it enhances profits in trend-following swing trading. With basic settings, weekend settlements, specified trading period restrictions, TPSL auto-sizing feature, pyramiding, etc., it follows the ever-changing market conditions. These features are adjustable by parameters.

// What is pyramiding?

Unlike averaging into a losing position (nampin), pyramiding adds positions when the market is moving in your favor and the positions are in profit (you can specify the maximum number of positions). Seeing profits accumulate rather than losses is overwhelmingly good for the mental state, and increases the likelihood of manually closing all positions with profit before events. Note: Backtests do not include manual settlements. Please operate with awareness that manual discretionary settlements may prevent the full potential from being realized.

// Safe operation

Stops are set by internal logic (opposite-signal) and other features, including a negative-position close function and proper stop loss, so even if the market moves negatively, it is designed for safe operation.

// Operating lot

You can operate in line with your funds by changing the lot size in the parameters.

// Spread filter

You can configure a spread filter according to the characteristics of your account. (Default off)

// Trailing Stop / Trailing Take function

The trailing stop function helps prevent missing out on profits, and the trailing take (proprietary) helps limit losses. Note: This feature requires settlement mode to be active, so it does not trigger settlements by itself. (See the later description for settlement mode)

// Entry direction restriction

Long-only, short-only, or both-direction trading can be selected, so it can be used on accounts that prohibit hedging by setting accordingly. (In backtests over the past 10 years, long was overwhelmingly more favorable)

// Timeframe trading restrictions / Day-of-week trading restrictions

You can set periods in which performance declines and choose not to trade (modifiable by parameters; default is optimized for 10 years). Also, you can specify the days of the week on which trading is allowed or restricted.

// About new features (v12.1)

1. TPSL Auto-SizingIn the previous version, TPSL was fixed at a specified value; however, it may not match changing market conditions, so now you specify only a multiplier of the recent price range average to track the market at that moment.
2. Position Over-Close featureWith pyramiding, as you accumulate positions, when the number of positions reaches the upper limit and the next open price yields further unrealized profit, it will settle.
3. Negative Position Close featureWhen multiple positions are held and the specified number of positions becomes unrealized loss, it will settle. Specify a minimum number of positions to hold and the number of negative positions. Note: This feature requires that the minimum number of positions held for both long and short be less than or equal to the maximum number of positions.

// Backtest 2015.12.2 ～ 2025.12.2

The new features have produced a very stable profit and loss curve.

// New display system

- Buy/Sell mode display (shows the state of Buy and Sell as modes)

1. Entry not allowed: shown when entry is not allowed.
2. Measuring: measuring up to the initial price.
3. Waiting: not in either entry or settlement mode. Even in waiting mode, if you hold positions and all are in profit, it will add to positions at the opening price (when pyramiding is on).
4. Entry mode: will enter if the number of positions is less than the maximum.
5. Settlement mode: when the main logic satisfies settlement conditions, it becomes settlement mode. If the conditions for TrailingStop or TrailingTake are met, TPSL will be reset according to those conditions. If TrailingStop or TrailingTake conditions are not met, it will settle at market price.

// Overview and operating conditions of TrailingStop and TrailingTake

In this EA, TrailingStop and TrailingTake do not act as the main settlement feature when applied unconditionally, as they did not improve performance. They become effective only after the main logic enters settlement mode, so please use with awareness of their characteristics.

1. Positions held enter settlement mode
2. Each unrealized profit or loss reaches the specified value → function activates

・Description of TrailingStop and TrailingTake values

TrailingStop：
Based on the opening price, reset SL by a pip width equal to the unrealized profit divided by the specified value
TP remains at the entry

TrailingTake：
Based on the opening price, reset TP by a pip width equal to the unrealized loss divided by the specified value
SL remains at the entry

// Caution

Because the logic aims to maximize profits with small losses and big gains, it may experience false signals. Drawdowns can occur, and it is designed to be profitable overall, so it is not suitable for short-term operation. It is an EA intended for year-long operation planning. Depending on Lot management, it can become high-risk, so please operate responsibly.
