About this product
This product is a trend-following EA that measures and quantifies the EUR/USD (EURUSD) daily trend and trades in line with the trend. It mainly uses RSI, Bollinger Bands, and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to determine orders.
Similar to another listed product (USDJPY_M5), but internal parameters have been adjusted for EUR/USD.
Parameter settings
We believe EA operation should be fully automated, but since this is a scalping-oriented EA, several order-related parameters can be configured.
The configurable parameters are as follows.
EXPERT_MAGICSets the magic number used to identify the EA. If you run other EAs on the same account simultaneously, please ensure the numbers do not overlap.
spread_range
Sets the spread limit value. The initial value is 10 points (= 1 pip). If the spread is wider than this value, no orders will be placed.
kotei_lotDetermines whether to fix the lot size or automatically calculate it based on margin. If true, fixed-lot mode is enabled. (If false, as the margin increases, the order lot also increases, resulting in a compounding-like operation.)
When kotei_lot is true, sets the fixed lot size.lot_amountmargin_rateWhen kotei_lot is false, the lot size is determined based on this value.
The initial value is set to 2,000. Lowering the number increases the lot size. (For reference, the calculation method computes a lot size so that the margin maintenance rate matches the configured number when using leverage of 100x. However, leverage even if low has no effect at all, so please set a number that makes sense. We operate with 2,000.)
InpPeriod
Specifies how many seconds between evaluations for orders, etc. The default is Second_20, so it runs every 20 seconds and all processing including order checks runs accordingly. If you don't have a strong preference, using 20 is fine.
weekend_blockConfigures whether weekend positions can be carried over. If true, positions are settled one hour before Friday market close (Japan time at 6:00 AM or 5:00 AM). Note: There are basically no trading-related parameters, but since this is a part with differing preferences, we made it configurable just in case. Backtests, forward tests, etc. are all measured with false (we also operate with false).
newsTrade_block_usdWhether to stop trading for a period around important USD indicators (the number of minutes can be configured separately). If true, trading is disabled. The default is false.
newsTrade_block_eur
Similarly, whether to disable trading around important EUR indicators.
news_block_time
Sets how many minutes around news to disable trading. The default is 3, so for example, for a news event at 21:30, trading stops at 21:27 and resumes at 21:33.news_block_positionCloseIf you hold a position, decide whether to close the position when it is within the configured number of minutes before the above indicators. We operate with false, but if you are concerned, please set it.daily_loss_limitSets a daily loss limit. If true, when the daily loss reaches or exceeds the percentage set below, close positions and disable trading for the rest of the day.daily_loss_limit_percentIf daily_loss_limit is true, set how many percent loss per day is tolerated.BacktestingRegarding the backtest results for this product, we list a few settings below for reference.We have included recent data from January 1, 2022 to October 2025.All tests are measured with a margin of 1,000,000 JPY and leverage of 1:25.

news_block_positionClose
If you hold a position, decide whether to close the position when it is within the configured number of minutes before the above indicators. We operate with false, but if you are concerned, please set it.

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)
