About EA's Strategy

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 bothersome. Code=Blue combines six different logics with varying formulas that have been 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"completing within a single EA without needing to create a portfolio." Additionally, by setting the time frame for checking charts to one hour and designing entries to occur only at the opening price, it has become possible to operate unattended without being misled by the fine price movements of short-term charts during economic indicators and year-end holidays. In other words, Code=Blue can be said to be an EA that can be introduced and operated on the chart without any further action.
Six logics analyze the chart individually and independently execute entries and exits
Code=Blue has each logic analyze the chart individually and independently execute from entry to exit. 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. Moreover, it can be confirmed that each logic has different formulas since one logic may incur a loss at a certain point while another logic executes an entry.
No negative years in 10 years of backtesting
One pitfall of EA backtesting is that"there may be negative years included in long-term backtesting." Even in long-term backtesting, there can be years within that period where the profit and loss are negative. If you are considering long-term operation, this is not an issue, but if that negative period occurs in the first year, it may raise doubts about continuing to use the EA. Code=Blue has not had any years with negative results over a 10-year backtest, even if there were negative months. This indicates a consistent ability to increase funds every year, suggesting a high likelihood of making profits from the first year of operation.
(The numbers in the image are in USD.)
Win rate of 48%, risk-reward ratio of 1.8:1, and over 350 trades per year with low risk!
Code=Blue maintains a risk-reward ratio of 1.8:1 while achieving a win rate of 48%, meaning nearly half of the trades lead to wins. A concern during EA operation is that when trying to achieve small losses and large profits, the number of trades may drastically decrease, or the win rate may drop to around 30%. This is unavoidable due to the nature of trading as an EA, but with Code=Blue, the simultaneous operation of six logics allows for"a stable operation both mentally and performance-wise by mixing high-win-rate logics with small-loss large-profit logics and logics with relatively high trade counts."
Maximum drawdown is below 10% of capital over 10 years, with returns exceeding approximately 280%!
If starting with a capital of 1 million yen, Code=Blue is designed to achieve a return of approximately 280% over 10 years, with a maximum drawdown of below 10%.
Since investing involves accepting risk,"an EA that is easier to use for users 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 causing account failure during the early operational phase, it is designed to be usable even with capital less than 1 million yen.
That said, if the risk is too low and the return is low, it defeats the purpose, so maximum adjustments have been made, resulting in a backtested return of approximately 280% over 10 years.
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 10% in backtesting, so please be cautious if making changes.
High recovery factor
One of the features of Code=Blue is its overwhelming recovery factor. The recovery factor refers to"the ability to recover back to the original state after experiencing a drawdown." Every EA will inevitably experience a drawdown period. However, if the recovery factor is high, even after a drawdown, the speed of capital recovery is fast, reducing the anxiety that may lead to wanting to stop operation.CoBlueBluehas a recovery factor of"29.55,"and the average value over the past 10 years is"2.86." This boasts an overwhelming ability to recover from drawdowns.
Reference performance when operating at full specifications
The six logics included in Code=Blue each have sufficient performance in 10 years of backtesting.
Therefore, I will provide the performance when all logics are operated with a lot size of 0.1 (the maximum value with a risk of less than 10% when operated individually with 1 million yen).
However, please note that operating at full specifications increases the risk of failure compared to operating at the recommended lot size.
About parameters
To ensure the complementarity between logics, the parameters that can be set are limited to the magic number and lot size only.
▀ 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.
Cautions
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 2.5 pips. There is a risk that performance may significantly worsen with spreads exceeding this.
Parameters other than the magic number and lot size are set to be unchangeable 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)
