About EA's Strategy
Translating...
It's better not to have discretionary elements when operating an EA
What is required when operating an EA is"the ability to operate unattended". There are many situations in trading, such as economic indicators and year-end holidays, where you have to manually stop the EA, and many people may find even that to be bothersome. Code=Platinum combines six different logics with varying formulas, all developed to pass long-term backtesting. Not only are they combined, but adjustments are made so that when one logic struggles in certain situations, another logic can complement that trade and accumulate profits, thus achieving"a complete solution within a single EA without needing to create a portfolio." Additionally, by setting the time frame for chart checks to one hour and designing entries to occur only at the opening price, it eliminates the risk of being misled by the minor price movements of short-term charts during economic indicators and year-end holidays, enabling unattended operation. In other words, Code=Platinum can be said to be an EA that is complete just by being introduced and operated on the chart.
Six logics analyze the chart individually and independently execute entries and exits
Code=Platinum has each logic analyze the chart individually and execute entries and exits independently. Therefore, "there are situations where one logic incurs a loss while another logic is generating profits." This allows for the possibility of operating with low risk while aiming for significant profits. Furthermore, it can be confirmed that each logic has different formulas, as one logic may incur a loss while another logic executes an entry at that same point.
No negative years in 10 years of backtesting
One of the pitfalls of EA backtesting is"the inclusion of negative years within long-term backtesting." Even in long-term backtesting, there may be one or two years where the profit and loss are negative. This is not a problem if you are considering long-term operation, but if those negative periods occur in the first year, it may raise doubts about continuing to use the EA. Code=Platinum has not had any years with negative results over 10 years of backtesting, even if there were negative months. This indicates that it has consistently increased funds every year, suggesting a high likelihood of generating profits from the first year of operation.
Winning rate of 45%, risk-reward ratio of 1.9:1, stable trading with over 550 trades per year
Code=Platinum maintains a risk-reward ratio of approximately 2:1, depicting a fund progression similar to discretionary trading while allowing for losses. In an EA, if you desire trades with small losses and large profits, the holding time may become too long, or the number of trades may decrease, causing the winning rate to drop to the 30% range. This is unavoidable due to the nature of trading, but with Code=Platinum, six logics operate simultaneously,"allowing for stable operations both mentally and in terms of performance by mixing high-winning-rate logics with small-loss large-profit logics, as well as logics with relatively high trading frequency."
Maximum drawdown is below 10% of funds over 10 years, yet returns are approximately 400%?!
If starting with a capital of 1 million yen, Code=Platinum is designed to achieve a return of approximately 400% over 10 years, with a maximum drawdown of less than 100,000 yen.
As with any investment, risks must be accepted, but"an EA that is easier for users to use with as little risk as possible" is undoubtedly the case.
Additionally, to prevent the maximum drawdown, which is common in high-return EAs, from exceeding the initial capital, and to avoid account failure during the initial operation phase, considerations have been made to allow operation even with less than 1 million yen in funds.
That said, if the risk is too low and the returns are minimal, it defeats the purpose, so maximum adjustments have been made, achieving approximately 400% returns over 10 years in backtesting.
Changing the lot size will increase returns but also increase risk.
The lot distribution is set to achieve maximum returns with a risk of less than 100,000 yen in backtesting, so please be cautious if making changes.
High recovery factor
One of the features of Code=Platinum is its overwhelming recovery factor. The recovery factor refers to"the ability to recover after experiencing a drawdown." Every EA will inevitably face a drawdown period. However, if the recovery factor is high, the speed of capital recovery after a drawdown is quick, reducing the anxiety that might make you want to stop operations.The recovery factor of Code=Platinum is "41.99," and the average value over the past 10 years is"4.06." This boasts an overwhelming ability to recover from drawdowns.
About parameters
To ensure the complementarity between logics, the only parameters that can be set are the magic number and lot size.
▀ Set the magic number for Logic 1. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▁ Set the lot size for Logic 1. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
▂ Set the magic number for Logic 2. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▃ Set the lot size for Logic 2. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
▄ Set the magic number for Logic 3. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▅ Set the lot size for Logic 3. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
▆ Set the magic number for Logic 4. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▇ Set the lot size for Logic 4. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
█ Set the magic number for Logic 5. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▉ Set the lot size for Logic 5. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
▊ Set the magic number for Logic 6. Please ensure it does not overlap with other EAs or logics without EAs.
▋ Set the lot size for Logic 6. The initial value is set to maximize the effect of complementarity between each logic.
Caution
This EA does not guarantee profits. Please understand that there may be losses exceeding past tests depending on future market conditions.
Backtesting is conducted with a fixed spread of 1.5 pips. There is a risk that results may deteriorate significantly with spreads exceeding this.
Parameters other than the magic number and lot size may significantly impair the performance of the EA, so changes are not allowed. 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)
