About EA's Strategy
Translating...
I want to leave the EA as unattended as possible
LallaPallooza uses the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo for trading decisions. Since it is built on discretionary methods, it is necessary to be cautious about economic indicators.
However, if I have to be in front of the chart just because there are indicators while the EA is running,“it feels no different from discretionary trading.”I feel that way.
Taking that into account, by adding restrictions to the logic to allow for as much unattended operation as possible, I eliminated the need to manually stop the EA.
As I am also a discretionary trader, after installation,“the discretion of stopping operation during indicators or year-end and New Year should not be involved.”I believe that is the essence of the EA.
Therefore, it is basically designed to be operated unattended after activation.
Measures against major indicators
Even though there are restrictions in the logic, if the spread widens significantly during major indicators, the win rate will indeed drop significantly.
To address this, a spread filter is included.
Please set it to about 1.5 times the average spread of your broker. (Initial value: 5 pips)
Example: If the average spread during normal times is 2.0 pips, please set it to about 4.0 pips.
Transforming the classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo logic into EA and multi-logic
It combines the classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo logic using the leading span and the logic using the lagging span.
This allows for a logic that holds positions from the beginning of a trend and a logic that holds positions at the timing of trend continuation,“to target the same trend double.”This is also possible.
By transforming the so-called classic method into multi-logic,“an EA that can still be used even if the market changes”is the goal of this creation.
Cleared 10 years of backtesting
One of the weaknesses of the EA is“if it can only win during specific periods.”This is a fact.
There are methods that match the market at that time, and by creating a logic specialized for that, it is possible to create an EA that explosively increases assets.
However, if the market movement changes suddenly, that EA may become unusable.
LallaPallooza has“cleared 10 years of long-term backtesting since 2015.”This is true.
This 10 years includes many financial shocks such as flash crashes and the COVID-19 crash, but it has achieved a stable upward trend without incurring significant losses.
Cut losses on positions with unrealized losses as soon as possible
What you face by logic-izing discretionary methods is the so-called“deception.”.
LallaPallooza is set to cut losses as soon as possible when holding positions with unrealized losses.
In trading, there are times when you have to endure unrealized losses, but by running three settlement logics simultaneously,“a mechanism to determine situations where you don’t have to endure”has been constructed.
As a result, rather than being forced to cut losses by SL, if it is determined that the advantage has been lost by the three settlement logics, it will cut losses without enduring.
Maximum DD is below 10% of funds over 10 years
LallaPallooza has kept the maximum DD below 10% against approximately 210% profit over 10 years of backtesting.
This means that the maximum loss amount during the 10 years, assuming an operation of $10,000, has not exceeded $1,000, indicating that the funds have never been in jeopardy.
In other words, it can be said that if you take a risk of 20% or 30%, the return can be raised to 400% or 600%.
The ability to choose whether to take risks to increase returns or to operate safely as one of the portfolios is a pleasing design for users.
High recovery factor
One of the features of LallaPallooza is its high recovery factor.
The recovery factor refers to“the recovery power until it returns after experiencing a drawdown.”This is what it means.
EA will inevitably experience drawdown periods.
However, if the recovery factor is high, even if a drawdown occurs, the speed of capital recovery is fast, reducing the anxiety that makes you want to stop operation.
LallaPalloozahas a recovery factor of“23.88”over the past 10 years, with an annual average of“2.31.”
About parameters
I will explain the parameters that can be set.
▀ Specify the spread that allows entry. This is used for entry control during times when the spread widens significantly, such as during economic indicators.
▁ Logic 1 magic number: Please enter your preferred number. However, please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs.
▂ Logic 1 lot size: You can enter your preferred lot size. Please be careful not to over-leverage. The initial value is the recommended lot size for a margin of $10,000.
▃ Logic 2 magic number: Please enter your preferred number. However, please ensure it does not overlap with Logic 1's magic number or other EAs.
▄ Logic 2 lot size: You can enter your preferred lot size. Please be careful not to over-leverage. The initial value is the recommended lot size for a margin of $10,000.
Caution
⅛ This EA does not guarantee profits. Please understand that there may be losses exceeding past tests depending on future market conditions.
⅛ Backtesting has been conducted with a fixed spread of 3.0 pips. There is a risk that performance will deteriorate significantly with spreads above this.
⅛ Parameters other than lot size are set to be non-changeable as they may significantly deteriorate the performance of the EA. Please use it with this understanding.

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)
