About EA's Strategy
Translating...
Sometimes a long “wick” appears beyond the candlestick.
This is a signal that the market tried to move once but failed, and is a representative form treated as a “signal of reversal.”
PinBar_MomentumTrader automatically detects this“wick reversal signal (PinBar)”.
However, just because a PinBar appears does not mean it will necessarily reverse.
In fact, there are many cases of false signals (no reversal).
Hence this EA is designed not to enter mechanically based on a single PinBar, but to enter only when backed by multiple filters.
✅Entry is made only when corroborated by multiple filters.
For example――
- 📈Moving Average: whether it is in harmony with the larger trend (direction)
- 💪ADX: whether the market has momentum or is in a range with a lot of noise
- 🧩 Other filters: judgments to avoid unfavorable times or conditions (details are non-public)
Only when these kinds of “backing conditions” are in place,
🎯 **“A high-probability moment”** is targeted for entry.
In other words, the aim of this EA is not to enter a lot, but to
🔥 **“select only moments where a reversal pattern appears and favorable conditions are met”**.
Therefore, on days when conditions are not met, trading may be skipped, but
that is not laziness; it is a feature to reduce wasted trades..
Parameters
| MagicNumber | Magic number. Please enter a number that does not conflict with other EAs | 485 |

⚙️ Recommended settings and cautions
💹 Currency pair: USDJPY
⏱️ Timeframe: M5
📌 Lot: start low (do not overextend relative to margin)
⚠️ Note: Some brokers with a minimum lot of 0.1 may have Lot calculations that differ from expectations
🖥️ VPS recommended: if operating 24/7, for stable operation
📌 Not a profit guarantee
Backtest/forward test results for this EA do not guarantee future profits. FX trading involves high risk, including potential loss of principal.
There is a possibility of losses, including capital loss.
⚙️ About compounding function (2% concept)
The compounding function does not guarantee a 2% loss cut every time.
When a stop loss occurs at the maximum stop loss (Max SL),
the loss relative to the entry margin is kept within about 2% (default setting),
by automatically adjusting the position size (lot) accordingly.
⚠️ However, rapid market moves, gaps, slippage, etc., can cause losses exceeding 2%.
Stop losses may not function as expected in such cases.
🌐 Variation in results due to environment
EA trading results may vary due to differences in:
🏦 Broker and account conditions
📉 Spreads, execution speed, slippage, trading restrictions
🖥️ VPS environment, communication conditions, rate feed
Even with the same EA, results can differ when the environment changes.
🛠️ About defects and misbehavior
We have checked to minimize bugs, but we cannot guarantee against unexpected losses caused by any malfunction.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction, compensation cannot be provided for resulting losses.

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)
