【Forward Information】As of the end of July 2024, we have been holding forward, and as of October 18, 2024, it is performing very well. For those who want to know more, please check the following link.Self-made EA_Domestic Account - Mr. Yoritugu MT4 (real-trade.tech)
【EA Description:An EA that aims for profits with long entries only, even in a rising yen, with a backtest showing a consistently upward trend and enjoying positive swaps!】
・This EA is dedicated to USDJPY with long-only entries. Therefore, it is desirable to use an account with favorable swap points.
・Referencing various timeframes and entering at high frequency (about 4,000 times over ~20 years) with four logics, designed to capture long profits in any market.
・Logic 1 operates on the 5-minute chart, Logic 2 on the 15-minute chart, Logic 3 on the 30-minute chart, and Logic 4 on the 1-hour chart’s opening price.
・Since each logic holds a maximum of one position, the whole EA can hold up to four positions at most.
However, to minimize drawdown overlap between logics, the design aims to keep interlogic correlation as low as possible.
Also, the maximum number of positions that can be held simultaneously can be changed by settings. If you want to reduce risk and margin, set the maximum positions to 1; if you want to maximize recovery factor and improve trading efficiency, set the maximum positions to 4, allowing operation tailored to the customer’s situation.
・As the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential narrows, yen appreciation is expected in the future.
This EA uses long entries only, but the backtest itself covers the period from 2005 to the present, and although the yen appreciated from around 110 to around 70 after the 2008 Lehman Shock to around 2011, the backtest still shows a rising trend.
Therefore, even if yen appreciation occurs going forward, swaps can still be positive, and a rising equity curve is highly possible.
【Combined Logic 1–4】20050102–20250321 at 0.1 lot each
【Logic 1】20050102–20250321 0.1 lot

【Logic 2】20050102–20250321 0.1 lot

【Logic 3】20050102–20250321 0.1 lot

【Logic 4】20050102–20250321 0.1 lot
【Chart Description】In this EA, the total Pips earned for each magic number is displayed at the top right of the chart.Also, the currently held logic turns its text yellow, and the current Pips profit/loss is displayed on the chart as well. Note: to reduce calculation load, Pips profit/loss updates only after the opening price movement every 5 minutes.
【Parameter Description】
・Maximum number of positions held ‥‥ 1–4 can be set・Acceptable Slippage ‥‥ ‥ ‥ Set allowable slippage in points
・Acceptable Spread ‥‥ ‥ ‥ Set acceptable spread in Pips ・Year-end entry restriction ‥‥ Set from which date in December to restrict entries ・New Year entry restriction ‥‥ Set up to which date in January to restrict entries ※ Entries are restricted, but settlements are not
・Chart update setting ‥‥ Toggle on/off (if backtests are slow, please turn off) ・Display of past〇 months history ‥ initial value 999 ・Chart update interval ‥ Updates the chart at the moment when 1-minute to 1-month candles update
・Compound interest (increasing margin unit) setting ‥‥ If Compound Interest On, for each margin-increasing unit, the lot size will be adjusted as set below. (Example)Margin 1,000,000, margin unit 50,000, set lot 0.01 ⇒ 1,000,000 / 50,000 × 0.01 = entry at 0.2 lots ※ If the margin is less than one margin unit, the minimum lot is used for entry
・Lot ‥‥ ‥ ‥ Four logics require setting four separate lots. ・Magic Number ‥‥ Four logics require separate magic numbers. Ensure they do not overlap with other logics/EA.

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)
