Details including forward testing are available on the official blog.
This will be a 30 minute only swing trade on GBP/JPY.
Entry logic is forwardEntry is made by trend-following.The technicals used are the golden and dead crosses of two moving averages, the entry filter of one moving average, and the setting period is also set to a general value.
In addition, various settlement logics are employed in order to remain profitable.
Other features as seen in the back test results
- Back test period: 1/1/2010 - 12/30/2022 (13 years) 0.3 lot fixed, 7,420,000 yen from 1,000,000 yen (*).
- As can be seen from the asset curve and "PL in money by year," there are flat periods and drawdown periods, but no losses in any year.
- The average number of trades per month is 3 to 5. This is not recommended for those who like high frequency trading.
- As you can see from the "Trades by duration," the average duration of a position is about 44 hours. Not recommended for those who do not like to hold positions for long periods of time.
- Entry and close are performed after the candlestick is fixed, for reproducibility in backtesting.( SL closing is a constant operation).
- Win rate is 50%. Not recommended for those who are stressed by low winning rate or losing streaks.
- Stop loss is calculated and set according to market conditions and volatility, but the maximum value (maximum stop loss) is limited to 170 pips. (In the case of a 0.1 lot yen account, the loss will be 17,000 yen.)
- No nan-pinning, no martingale
■ Concept of operational lot
The most important thing to consider is the size of the lot to be operated.
Can you hold out to the point where your funds are reduced by what percentage?"
The first two are the following.
Please use this concept as a reference to determine the lot to be operated.
The back test of our EA is 0.3 lots for 1 million yen.
This is a slightly higher risk setting, as it means that if you start with 1,000,000 yen in investment funds, there is a possibility that your funds will be reduced to 300,000 yen due to drawdowns.
For a low-risk, low-return setting, use a smaller lot size.
For example, if you want to limit the amount of funds to a 10% reduction (up to 100,000), you may choose to operate lots of 0.1 lot or less. The maximum drawdown during the backtest period is 96,000 yen with 0.1 lot.
■Parameter setting
- MagicNumber : Magic number Default value "230224
When using other EAs in the same account, please make sure not to duplicate the same EA. - Lots : Number of lots traded Default value "0.3
Please set based on the allowable risk. - MaxSpread :Maximum spread Initial value "5.0 (5.0 pips)
- Slippage : Slippage initial value "10 (ten pips)
- GMT :GMT of each FX company Default value "2
Enter "2" if the FX company's GMT is GMT+2/Summer+3, "9" if GMT+9, or "0" if GMT+0. This is used for the function to delay orders during rollover described below. - Summertime : Daylight saving time correction Default value "1
Enter "1" for U.S. time, "2" for U.K. time, and "0" for FX companies without daylight saving time. - EntryNG_EndofYear : Restriction of operation during the year-end and New Year holidays Default value: "false
If "true" is selected, operation is restricted during the year-end and New Year holidays (December 16 through January 5). - Rollover_DelayTime : Entry delay time for rollover Default value "10
Many FX firms do not accept orders during rollover time.
Even for those firms that do accept orders, there is a concern that performance may deteriorate due to a sudden opening of the spread.
As a countermeasure, we have implemented a function to delay orders only during rollover time. For example, if you enter 10 (minutes)
For example, if 10 (minutes) is entered, the order at 0:00 will be placed at 0:10.
(7:10 Japan time (6:10 US Eastern Daylight Time))
This reduces the opportunity loss caused by an order not going through at 0:00.
The back test is conducted with the default value of 10 (minutes).
This function is only available for FX firms that distribute rates (tick updates) at the time of rollover.
- Once set, there is no need to change the GMT setting during the daylight saving time changeover period.
