Cat Punch USDJPY Edition

Usually calm, strike when it matters.
Enter with up to 6 positions the moment you spot prey.
USDJPY M5 multi-logic EA without Nampin Martingale.

By running strategies with different personalities independently, it is designed for long-term stability regardless of market environment.

Defense: Fakeout Strategy Against the ranges formed in the London, Tokyo, and NY sessions, we enter in the opposite direction the moment a false breakout appears. The image is to turn losses by beginners who fall for the fake into our profits. It is monitored on four timeframes: M5 / M15 / M30 / H1.

The basic style is intraday trading, with most positions settled within the same day, but some momentum-strategy trades may span multiple days when capturing strong trends (up to about 20 business days). All positions are structurally protected with a maximum 50 pips SL per position.

Trading Examples

Example 1: Enter all at once and win all (2024-11-06)
A strong momentum occurred, and Strategy E lit up conditions every time the candle closed → consecutive entries. Multiple positions in the same direction were built in the same wave, and all positions were closed by TP (take profit). This is the true nature of the “Cat Punch” “punch when it matters.”
※ The strategy alone has a maximum of 6 positions, and the total across all strategies is also capped at 6 positions. Each position is protected by an independent SL (up to 50 pips).

Example 2: Losing positions covered by another logic (2024-11-04)
Even on the day when a long position was stopped out, the loss was capped at -50 pips per position (global cap). On the same day another logic expanded profits in the short direction, resulting in a positive total for the day. 22 strategies operate independently, providing proof that reverse-direction logic serves as risk diversification.
※ This “loss coverage by reverse-direction logic” is one characteristic of this EA, but it does not occur every time. There are days when the losing logic cannot cover losses and the day ends negative. Final evaluation should be judged by long-term cumulative performance, not daily results.

Accurate backtesting using TDS (TickDataSuite)

From January 2014 to April 202612 years 4 monthsusingTDS (TickDataSuite)in a full test under variable spreads and 100% realistic environment.

5,060 trades; SQN score 7.61 indicates high reproducibility

Backtesting numbers are subject to luck when the number of trades is small, so reproducibility in live trading may be lower.In this 12-year 4-month validation,5,060 tradesprovide a large enough sample.

This meansapproximately 410 trades per year, about 34 trades per month, a level that cannot be reproduced by dozens of coincidences. Statistically, with this many samples, the numbers “PF1.88・Win rate 58.5%・Expected value +4.99 pips/trade” become meaningful as the EA’s performance.

Behavior under TDS variable spread +1.5 pips expansion

Even with a tighter condition where TDS variable spread is increased by +1.5 pips,PF 1.54is maintained. The system has resilience to brokers with wider spreads and different times.

Parameters

Only six parameters are disclosed. Internal thresholds are optimized by backtesting, so changes are generally unnecessary.

• Base_Lot...Lot size can be changed freely. Default 0.1
• Global_Max_Positions...Maximum concurrent positions across all strategies. Default 6.
• Max_SL_Pips...Maximum stop loss pips per position. Default 50. This cap is structurally enforced across all strategies.

Please read before purchase

Cat Punch can hold up to 6 positions simultaneously when strong trends occur. It may seem like averaging down, but it is not averaging down. No averaging down.

Each position is the result of independent entries by 22 strategies based on their own criteria (timeframe, period, pattern). Each position has its own independent SL (up to 50 pips) and TP, and there is no mechanism to add to losses to recover losses.

When a strong trend appears, the probability of a win increases statistically, and by attacking with multiple positions at this moment, most of the annual profits are earned. However, if the read is wrong, large drawdowns can occur in a short period. The backtest shows a maximum consecutive loss of 16 and a maximum drawdown of 6.00% due to this characteristic.

Frequently Asked Questions

The number of trades feels small; is it statistically enough?

5,060 trades over 12 years 4 months (about 34 per month). This is by design: 22 logics monitor independently and only enter when conditions overlap, so there are not many opportunities. The absolute total of 5,060 is statistically sufficient, and the SQN score is 7.61 (SQN > 2 generally indicates a good system).

Will there be hedging (long and short at the same time)?

There is no intentional hedging strategy (no logic for reverse-position entries for hedging or drawdown relief in the code). However, because this EA uses an independent ensemble of 22 strategies,there is a structural possibility that buy and sell exist simultaneously. Specifically, while a momentum strategy (E) holds a long position, another strategy may independently detect a short condition. Each position is protected by an independent 50 pips cap SL, so risk does not spiral. If you use an account with hedging restrictions from a domestic broker, please consider this.

Is it categorized as scalping, day trading, or swing trading?

Primarily a day-trading style. Of the 21 strategies out of 22, 21 are forcibly settled by time and completed within the same day. SL max 50 pips and TP ranges from about 10–50 pips, so it falls under short-term trading. However, Momentum strategy (E) can hold positions for several days up to about 20 trading days if a strong trend is captured. This is by design to maximize profits when riding a trend, and since each position is protected by an independent max 50 pips SL, even longer holdings do not increase risk.

Is this EA aimed at the USD/JPY “Nikkei fix” anomaly?

No, not exactly. The Nikkei fix (trading around 9:55 Tokyo time for yen selling) is not part of this EA’s strategy. The Tokyo-time logic waits for a fake breakout in the range formed during that time and trades in the opposite direction, not aiming at any hour-specific directional anomaly. Nikkei-based EAs fix entries at fixed times, which lose effectiveness when policy or supply-demand conditions change; this EA depends on the price movement structure within ranges, so it is not affected by the validity of the Nikkei anomaly.

Can it be used on other currency pairs?

This EA is optimized specifically for USDJPY M5. Other currency pairs are not recommended. A version for other currencies (e.g., EURUSD) is planned for later.

Is a VPS necessary?

Recommended. Since multiple logics monitor continuously on M5, a 24-hour operation environment (PC on or VPS) is required.

Do parameters require adjustment?

Generally unnecessary. Default parameters correspond to backtest results. Only adjust the lot size based on account balance.

I started with a loss right after starting operation.

This EA is designed to “attack at the decisive moment,” so it tends to have clustered good periods and bad periods (maximum 16 consecutive losses). Do not stop due to short-term poor performance; please continue for at least 3 months.
