Features of "GOTO-BUYSELL"

“GOTO-BUYSELL” is an automatic trading program specifically designed for the USDJPY 1-minute chart, utilizing the ℽtendency to buy dollarsℽ observed on Goto days (5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, and end of the month), which is unique to Japan.

Goto days tend to see a concentration of dollar buying due to settlements and remittances by Japanese companies,making it easier to focus on dollar purchases. This EA is based on that anomaly, featuring a logic that ℽenters a buy position at a specific time and closes it around the time of the fixing.ℽ.

Furthermore, anticipating a downward trend after the fixing, ℽit enters a reverse sell position immediately after. In other words,let's aim to capture both movements unique to Goto days!That's the idea.

Overview of the Logic of “GOTO-BUYSELL”.

Basic Logic

• Target Currency Pair: Exclusively for USDJPY

• Chart Time Frame: Exclusively for 1-minute
• BUY Entry Time: Late night before Goto day
• BUY Position Closing Time: Just before the fixing on Goto day
• SELL Entry Time: Immediately after the fixing on Goto day
• SELL Position Closing Time: Noon on Goto day
• Fixed Stop Loss of 50 Pips: Reduces the risk of significant losses in a single trade
• Equipped with Compound Interest Logic: Expected to maximize profits

The time from entry to closing is detailed in the product manual.

The Concept of “Goto Day

• Consideration of Weekends and Holidays: If Goto day falls on a weekend or holiday, the business day before is considered Goto day.
• End of Month: For months with 31 days, the 31st is Goto day; for February, the end of the month is Goto day.
• Exclusion of Golden Week: Due to risk-off, “May 1-5” is excluded even if it is a Goto day.
• Exclusion of Year-End: Due to risk-off, “December 30-31” is excluded even if it is a Goto day.
• Exclusion of Christmas: Due to risk-off, “December 25” is excluded even if it is a Goto day.

Taking special holidays off from trading can help stabilize your mental state and benefit long-term operations.

Other Logic

• Automatic Determination of Daylight Saving Time: Automatically switches to daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November in the American style. GMT can be changed via parameters (default is GMT+3 in summer and GMT+2 in winter). Please use according to your broker's specifications. Not currently compatible with European-style DST, but will consider it if there is enough demand.
• Slippage and Spread Limitation Features: Please use according to the situation.

Backtest Results of “GOTO-BUYSELL”.

1. Capital of 100,000 yen, fixed lot of 0.1, from 2015 to present (about 10 years)

Set a realistic spread of “5”

Result: 100,000 yen ⊲about820,000 yen

At Gaitame Finest, the unit is 0.1 lots (10,000 currency), so,

820,000 (profit) ÷ 10,000 (currency) = 82 yen (8,200 Pips) of profit (including swap).

2. Capital of 100,000 yen, compound interest on (risk 100), from 2015 to present (about 10 years)

Result: 100,000 yen ⊲about140 million yen

“Compound interest is humanity's greatest invention.”
 There is potential to achieve millionaire status in about 10 years!

3. Capital of 100,000 yen, compound interest on (risk 130), from 2015 to present (about 10 years)

Result: 100,000 yen ⊲about310 million yen..

If you can take risks, you can further increase profits!

 Actual Lot Sizes Based on Risk Settings

For risk 100

(100 ÷ 100) × 0.01 = 0.01 lots (=1,000 currency) / 10,000 yen

Example: Capital of 100,000 yen ⊲ 10 × 0.01 = 0.10 lots (10,000 currency) 　　・Capital of 500,000 yen ⊲ 50 × 0.01 = 0.50 lots (50,000 currency)

For risk 130

(130 ÷ 100) × 0.01 = 0.013 lots (=1,300 currency) / 10,000 yen

Example: Capital of 100,000 yen ⊲ 10 × 0.013 = 0.13 lots (13,000 currency)

・Capital of 500,000 yen ⊲ 50 × 0.013 = 0.65 lots (65,000 currency)

⛯15-Year Verification

4. Capital of 100,000 yen, compound interest on (risk 130), from 2010 to present (about 15 years)

Result: 100,000 yen ⊲about820 million yen..

Maximizing performance through compound interest and long-term operations.





⛯20-Year Verification

5. Capital of 100,000 yen, fixed lot(0.1), from 2005 to present (about 20 years)

Overcoming shocks that occurred in the past 20 years, the graph is on an upward trend!

The total Pips gained is approximately 16,700 Pips (including swaps).

The EA analysis tool “QuantAnalyzer” also confirms the superiority of the logic.

In the past 10 years, there have been no years with negative annual profit and loss. The graph shows a spike on Thursdays and Fridays, possibly due to volatility, but overall, the performance is stable on a monthly and daily basis.

Next, we will look at the past 20 years of data (5th backtest) based on ℽPipsℽ.

The only year with a loss was 2007, with a limited loss of -276 Pips. In other years, there were no annual losses.

When checked on a Pips basis, it becomes clear that “we can eliminate swap points,” allowing for a pure performance assessment.

Graph Check

While overcoming occasional drawdowns, a steadily rising graph is forming from 2005 to early 2025.

The vertical axis shows the years, so you can also check the movements of that year.

Backtest results are merely a “preview.”.Since these are simulation results based on past data, they do not guarantee results in the main (real operation).

Also, when viewing backtests,pay attention to the spread and broker name. These two factors can significantly change the backtest results.

If the spread is too narrow, it creates a gap with real trades, and using an MT4 from a broker with extremely high swap points can result in excessive swap points being added to profits and losses.

This is the “mechanism of backtesting.” “GOTO-BUYSELL” conducts realistic backtesting considering this point. However, it is advisable to keep backtest results as a reference.

By the way: How do overseas traders view Goto days?

How do overseas traders (especially funds) view Goto days?

This is purely my personal speculation, butⅆ!

▀“Oh, it’s the day when Japanese people buy dollars.” ⊲ Goto days are relatively well-known, and professionals factor them in. This means that there may be movements to buy dollars in advance.▁Liquidity and direction are easy to read. ⊲ USDJPY gradually rises before the fixing ⊲ It’s easy to ride the trend.▂This is observed as a daily pattern. ⊲ It is incorporated into the anomaly by overseas quants (techniques that analyze using advanced financial techniques or computers) and HFT (high-frequency trading).

Thusⅆ Goto days originated from “Japanese circumstances,” but since they are observed as part of the market, overseas traders are also affected (or influence) as a result.In other words, it can be said to be a “synthetic trend of real demand + speculation.”

Summary of the Features of “GOTO-BUYSELL”

1. Only enters on Goto days,ensuring mental stability.
2. From entry to closing,all trades can be tracked.
3. No need for detailed settings,making it easy to operate.
4. With a limited stop loss of 50 Pips,it’s hard to incur significant losses.
5. Expected to maximize profits,equipped with compound interest logic.
6. Buy swap points are also included (no negative swaps occur!

I hope “GOTO-BUYSELL” will be of help to everyone.
