【About Elemental-F】
Trading Gold (XAUUSD) is known for its price movement volatility. Large price swings occur, and opportunities come with risks. In such a market, we aimed to develop an EA that can efficiently pursue profits. - It features a loss-cut profit-maximizing logic using moving averages and candlestick movements, aiming for maximum profit while limiting losses. - It includes compounding to reinvest profits and aim for further asset growth. - It has been validated using data from over the past 10 years. - This EA is for XAUUSD M5 only.
【Backtest】
(Simple Interest)Profits will expand, but drawdowns will also be severe, so please view as a reference.
【Parameter Description】
A unique number used by the EA to identify positions. When running multiple EAs on the same MT4, ensure the magic numbers do not overlap.・Manual LotSets the lot size when operating on simple interest. Please set within a feasible range based on backtest results and maximum drawdown. This setting is not used in compounding operation.・Position CommentSets the comment attached to the position. Change as needed.
・Max Spread (Pips)If the spread exceeds this value, no new positions will be opened.
・Compound Mode >> CompoundingIf performing compounding, select 'true'; if not, select 'false'.・Risk Percent >> Risk Percentage
Specify the loss amount per trade as a percentage of account balance.
Based on the width of Stop Loss, the lot size is automatically calculated so that the loss amount is reached at stop-out.
(The narrower the Stop Loss, the larger the lot size; the wider, the smaller.)
・ Capital Selection >> Capital Selection
Choose the funds for compounding from either “Free Margin” or “Balance.”
--FreeMargin - Free Margin (Recommended, prudent): Considering the overall account drawdown and other EAs' losses, automatically reduce lot size when there are draws.
--Balance - Balance (Aggressive): Calculates based only on available cash in the account. Enter at the specified lot size regardless of other positions. Please be aware of margin maintenance rate declines (including floating losses from grid EAs).
・Holiday Entry Limit>> Position Entry Restriction
Defaults to 'true'; change to 'false' if not used.
・Start Date(MMDD) >> Start Date
If the server time is 00:00 on the start date, it will be skipped.

【Frequently Asked Questions】
Q: Compared with other currency pairs, the pips for XAUUSD differ. A: In XAUUSD, the first decimal place is treated as 1 pip. Also, the point used for slippage is based on the number of decimal places. Q: Will the EA always be profitable? A: No. The EA trades based on a specific logic, but profits are not guaranteed. There is a risk of loss due to market fluctuations. Q: The results differ from the公開 forward test? A: Results can differ because each broker has different feed rates and trading conditions. View forward test results as reference. Q: Can I run other EAs on the same MT4 at the same time? A: Yes, but ensure that magic numbers do not overlap.
■ Cautions ■
This EA does not guarantee future profits.
There is a possibility of consecutive losses depending on market conditions.
Always use with surplus funds and verify behavior via backtests or a demo account beforehand.

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)
