About EA's Strategy
Translating...
This martingale averaging EA, which carries two logics: trend-following in trending markets and counter-trend in range markets.
Each logic includes a distinct stop-out function to reduce bankruptcy risk.
■ Trend-following logic
The trend is determined by a long-term daily moving average. In an uptrend, when oscillator indicators are “oversold,” buy on dips; when “overbought,” sell on rallies.
■ Counter-trend logic
In a range market, determined by ADX, enter counter-trend positions when oscillator indicators are “overbought” or “oversold.” However, do not enter when the short-term trend is moving against you.
■ Technical Stop-Out Function
Different stop-out logics are installed for the trend-following and counter-trend logics. When trend-following, if the long-term moving average trend reverses and new short- or mid-term lows/highs are updated, a stop-out is executed. When counter-trend, if oscillator indicators are extremely “overbought” or “oversold” and the latest low/high is updated, a stop-out is executed.
- Auto-fit of averaging width
- Entry halt during market shock
- Stop-out function for each logic
- Higher time-frame trend-following
- Averaging width expansion feature
- Partial take-profit on averaging
Backtest from 2014 to 2025 (11 years, TDS) shows a maximum drawdown of about 13.2% ($2,147).
■ Auto-fit of averaging width
It features automatic fitting of averaging width by ATR. Since the averaging width is determined from the ATR ratio, no explicit averaging width setting is required (minimum and maximum values can be set). Also, profit-taking width is calculated from the averaging width.
■ Setting of averaging multiplier
You can set the averaging multiplier for finer lot adjustments. In default settings, trend-following logic is 1.2x, and counter-trend logic is 1.1x.
Guidance for lot size
| Averaging count | Lot size | Averaging count | Lot size |
| 1 | 0.01 | 10 | 0.05 |
| 2 | 0.01 | 11 | 0.06 |
| 3 | 0.01 | 12 | 0.07 |
| 4 | 0.02 | 13 | 0.09 |
| 5 | 0.02 | 14 | 0.11 |
| 6 | 0.02 | 15 | 0.13 |
| 7 | 0.03 | 16 | 0.15 |
| 8 | 0.04 | 17 | 0.18 |
| 9 | 0.04 | 18 | 0.22 |
Trend-following logic: averaging multiplier 1.2x, maximum positions 18.
Maximum lot = 1.26 lots (one side)
Counter-trend logic: averaging multiplier 1.1x, maximum positions 20.
Maximum lot = 0.57 lots (one side)
■ Averaging width expansion feature
As the number of averaging increases, the averaging width can be expanded. You can specify the number of positions at which to start expanding the width and by how much to expand (Pips).
| Averaging width expansion function | true |
| Expansion start position count | 3 |
| Expansion amount (Pips) | 1.0 |
With the above settings, if the original averaging width was 20 pips,
| Averaging count | Averaging width |
| 1 | 0.0020 |
| 2 | 0.0020 |
| 3 | 0.0021 |
| 4 | 0.0022 |
| 5 | 0.0023 |
| 6 | 0.0024 |
■ ATR filter
If the set ATR value is exceeded, new positions are halted. (Default false: unused)
■ Bollinger Band filter
If the price exceeds the Bollinger Band upper band, new sell entries are blocked; if it falls below the lower band, new buy entries are blocked. The Bollinger Band period and standard deviation are configurable. The default settings are as follows.
When current price is above BB +2α
Stop new buy entries
When current price is below BB −2α
Stop new sell entries
■ TrailingTop function
When the average acquisition price of averaging becomes positive, by using the trailing stop function you can secure a certain profit while potentially gaining additional profit. Note: trailing orders are placed in reference to the average acquisition price of averaging.
| Trailing stop function | true | If true, trailing stop orders become active. |
| Initial trailing interval (Pips) | 10 | This is the width of the initial trailing order. It is activated when the averaging take-profit width (Pips) is reached. |
| Normal trailing interval (Pips) | 30 | This is the width for the second and subsequent trailing orders. After the initial stop-loss order is moved away by the specified Pips, the normal trailing interval applies. |
| Trailing order update time (seconds) | 30 | After the specified number of seconds from the previous trailing order, the order is updated. |
| Trailing order update Pips | 1 | If the price moves by the specified Pips from the previous trailing order, update the order. |
| Trailing start position count | 6 | When the number of positions reaches the specified count during averaging, start trailing orders. |
■ ATR trailing feature
This automatically updates the trailing stop width using ATR values. (Default is unused)
To use this feature, the parameters for the “Trailing Stop Function” must also be set to true. The following parameter settings for “Trailing Stop Function” are also carried over to the ATR trailing feature.
- Trailing order update time (seconds)
- Trailing order update Pips
- Trailing start position count
| ATR trailing function | false | If true, the ATR trailing function becomes active. |
| ATR time frame | 1day | |
| ATR period | 3 | |
| ATR multiplier | 0.3 | Multiplier applied to the obtained ATR. |
| Minimum trailing Pips | 10 | Minimum trailing width (Pips) can be specified. Please specify a value above the broker’s minimum stop level. |
■ Higher-timeframe trend following
By default, the system uses the daily chart with a short-term EMA (period 10) and a long-term SMA (period 40). When the short-term MA is above the long-term MA, it isBuy-only; when the short-term MA is below the long-term MA, it isSell-only. The periods are configurable.
■ Temporary entry halt after execution
After an entry is filled, new entries are halted for the specified time (minutes).
■ Loss-limited stop-out
If the loss exceeds the specified amount, all positions are closed. (Default false: unused)
■ Backtest speed-up and load reduction measures
By processing tick-by-tick tasks at a specified interval, backtests run faster and reduce the load on the PC or VPS running the EA.
| Skip tick processing | true | Set to true to enable. |
| Entry decision interval (seconds) | 1 | |
| Stop-out decision interval (seconds) | 1 | Determine stop-out according to the logics of the “Technical Stop-Out Function” at the specified interval. |

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)
