What is a 3-Candle Gap?
Unique method aiming for strong trend continuation
A 3-candle gap refers toa price gap occurring between three consecutive candles. This gap indicates a strong trend continuation and tends to move further in the breakout direction.
Buy Gap
Acceleration of upward trend
Expecting further rise
Sell Gap
Acceleration of downward trend
Expecting further decline
Advantages of this EA:
Automatically detects price gaps from 3-candle patterns and enters on trend breakout. By riding the momentum of strong trends, it achieves over 76% high win rate through phased partial profit-taking and pyramiding strategies.
Example of 3-Candle Gap Formation Pattern (Buy Gap)
(Rapid Rise)
Example of 3-Candle Gap Formation Pattern (Sell Gap)
(Rapid Drop)
Important Point:
The 2nd candle starts from the close of the 1st candle and ends at the open of the 3rd candle.
This rapid price movement createsa gap of over 15 pips (GAP) between the 1st and 3rd candles.
This gap indicates strong trend momentum and suggests continuation in the breakout direction.
Basic Strategy and Logic
3-Candle Gap Breakout + Phased Profit-Taking + Intelligent Pyramiding
Gap Detection
Automatically detects price gaps from
3-candle patterns
Breakout Entry
Enters immediately when
GAP zone is broken
Phased Profit-Taking
Secures profits through
three-stage partial exits
Pyramiding Strategy
Adds positions at 50 pips intervals during adverse moves
to average down and improve cost basis
Detailed Logic Explanation
Conditions for 3-Candle Gap Detection
Buy Gap:Three consecutive bullish candles with the oldest (3rd) high lower than the newest (1st) low = upward gap formed (15 pips or more)
Sell Gap:Three consecutive bearish candles with the oldest (3rd) low higher than the newest (1st) high = downward gap formed (15 pips or more)
Entry Conditions
Buy Entry:Detect buy gap ⊲ Market order at current price
Sell Entry:Detect sell gap ⊲ Market order at current price
Partial Profit-Taking System (Single Position)
Stage 1: Close 1/3 at profit equal to gap size ×1, move stop-loss to break-even
Stage 2: Close 1/3 at profit equal to gap size ×2, move stop-loss to first take profit level
Stage 3: Close remaining at profit equal to gap size ×3
Pyramiding System (Multiple Positions)
After initial position is filled, add new positions every 50 pips adverse move
When incremental mode is enabled: lot size increases stepwise (×1 ⊲ ×2 ⊲ ×3 ...)
When multiple positions are held, close all at once when the average entry price is 20 pips away
Main Features
Automatic Gap Detection
Automatically detects price gaps from 3-candle patterns. Visual display on the chart makes it easy to confirm.
Three-Stage Partial Profit-Taking
Unique system to secure profits gradually. Recover principal at stage 1, maximize profits at stages 2 and 3.
Hedging Support
Allows holding both long and short positions simultaneously. Flexible trading system aiming to profit from market movements in both directions.
Increment Function
In pyramiding, gradually increases lot size. Efficiently improves average cost and turns small price movements into profit.

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)
