METAL ZONE FX MT4 Version
Domestic FX Only - USDJPY BUY Rotation EA
METAL ZONE FX is a BUY-only EA for USDJPY, designed with domestic FX accounts in mind.
It is not the type that rapidly increases with high leverage on overseas FX; from a domestic FX account, starting at 0.01 lots, it aims for steady cycling.
Recommended pair: USDJPY, recommended timeframe: M5.
Based on the domestic FX leverage environment, it limits lot size and maximum positions, aiming for a design that is easy to maintain long-term.
Main features
・For domestic FX accounts
・USDJPY M5 recommended
・BUY only
・0.01 lot recommended
・Maximum 3 positions assumed
・Grid averaging supported
・No martingale
・Swaps included in total profit
・Minimum profit guard installed
・Maximum loss amount can be set
・MT4 compatible
What kind of EA it is
METAL ZONE FX is a rotating EA that picks up pullbacks in USDJPY and accumulates small profits.
If in drawdown, it adds positions at fixed intervals to lower the average entry price and aim for recovery.
However, it is not a martingale that increases lots to recover.
Basically, it assumes a fixed 0.01 lot.
In the default product version, settings for USDJPY are as follows.
・Currency pair: USDJPY
・Timeframe: M5
・Direction: BUY only
・Lot: 0.01
・Maximum positions: 3
・Ninpen width: 25 pips
・Ninpen width multiplier: 1.5
・Take profit: 5 pips
・Swaps included total take profit: 100 yen
・Minimum profit guard: 5 yen
・Maximum loss amount: 0 yen
About swap-inclusive total take profit
METAL ZONE FX determines total take profit not only from unrealized P/L of all positions but also including swaps and fees.
For positions with the same currency pair and the same magic number,
Unrealized P/L + Swaps + Fees
are aggregated, and if the set amount is reached, settlements are executed.
In USDJPY BUY operation, swaps can work positively, so it is notable that recovery can be sought from swaps as well as price movement.
Recommended capital
Designed to be operable from 100,000 yen, but since domestic FX offers 25x leverage, it is recommended to operate with some buffer.
Guidelines are as follows.
・Minimum guideline: 100,000 yen
・Recommended guideline: 150,000 yen or more
・Aggressive setting: 200,000 yen or more
If operating with 100,000 yen, start with USDJPY only, 0.01 lot, maximum 3 positions.
If you have 200,000 yen or more, you may consider increasing the maximum number of positions, but increasing positions also increases unrealized losses.
In the beginning, we recommend starting with the standard settings.
Timing for operation start
This EA mainly operates BUY USDJPY.
It can run continuously, but if you want to be more cautious, it is recommended to start operating after a pullback following a significant rise in USDJPY.
If you stop the EA while you have open positions, profit-taking, grid averaging, and consolidated settlements will also stop.
Therefore, while positions are open, it is recommended not to stop the EA and to keep it running until settlements are completed.
Backtesting
METAL ZONE FX has undergone long-term backtesting for USDJPY on FXTF MT4.
It has run a 10-year backtest starting with 100,000 yen on USDJPY, M5, 0.01 lot, maximum 3 positions.
It emphasizes testing over a longer period, not just a few favorable periods.
However, backtests are based on past data and do not guarantee future profits.
Real trading
METAL ZONE FX has also been tested on FXTF MT4 real accounts besides backtesting.
In real accounts, unlike backtests, spreads, fills, swaps, and server environments may affect performance.
Therefore, we operate while observing how it behaves in real accounts, including holding times and drawdowns.
Real trading results do not guarantee future profits, but they may be useful for understanding EA behavior.
REAL TRADE is being updated.
About GBPUSD
Verifications are also conducted for GBPUSD, but the current recommendation centers on USDJPY.
GBPUSD is a secondary candidate, not for swap purposes, and may be held longer depending on market conditions.
Therefore, this product mainly recommends operating USDJPY.
Ninpen (grid averaging)
METAL ZONE FX includes grid averaging (ninpen).
Since there is grid averaging, if the market moves strongly in one direction, there is a possibility of carrying drawdown.
Increasing the number of positions increases recovery power but also increases drawdown.
Therefore, in the beginning, we recommend operating with 0.01 lot and a maximum of 3 positions or fewer.
About parameters
In the product version, we keep items as few as possible.
Main items to check are as follows.
・Lot
・Maximum spread in pips
・Base ninpen width in pips
・Width expansion multiplier per step
・Maximum number of positions
・Take profit in pips
・Swaps included take profit amount
・Minimum profit guard
・Maximum loss amount
・Display settings
Basically, we recommend confirming with the default settings for USDJPY M5 first.

Notes
This EA does not guarantee future profits.
Backtests are the results of past data and may differ from actual trading results.
Results will vary due to market conditions, spreads, fills, swaps, and server environments.
Also, as this is a ninpen-enabled EA, drawdown can be large if the market moves strongly in one direction.
Trade only with excess funds.
First, we recommend starting from 0.01 lot.

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)
