Ignis（イグニス）AUDJPY M5

When choosing EA, do you have these worries?

• All of a sudden, you might stop winning
• With one sudden fluctuation, you might lose a large amount of account funds
• You might just keep watching growing unrealized losses

Months of beautiful steady gains—only to have them disappear one day along with the accumulated profits—
Many people have experienced that with Nanspon-Martingale type EAs.

The EA I developed is designed to minimize this anxiety as its top priority.
Do not use averaging down, martingale, or hedging. Do not increase positions without limit.
Prioritize “not exiting the market” over “greatly increasing gains”—
All EAs are developed under this policy.

In addition, Ignis plays the role of “breaking currency pair bias.”

Is your EA portfolio biased toward USDJPY?

When building an EA portfolio, many people notice the bias: “Everything is USDJPY.”
EAs for the same currency pair tend to lose on the same day.
Ignis is designed as one instrument to break that bias.

• Currency pair isAUDJPY (Australian Dollar / Yen)— Moves independently from the USD/JPY EA
• Long and short directions both supported— Follows both rising and falling markets
• Settles within the same day— No carryover to the next day; no swap impact
• Setup isOnly during a limited time at the start of the week(about once a week, around 26 times a year)

Win rate is 46% — Initial disclosure

The win rate of this EA is 46%, just under half. This is by design.

If breaks do not continue, we stop small losses; when it grows, we trail and aim for profit
Because it is a “small losses, large profits” system, the number of losses will be higher.
However, over 16.5 years and 430 tests,the average profit was about 1.9 times the average loss.

accumulate small losses and recoup on weeks when it grows.
The graph appears as a staircase, but this is the correct shape for a break-type performance.
This is not suitable for those seeking high win rates. A design of “small losses, big wins”
is recommended only for those who understand this.

Three grounds to trust these figures

① Real trading costs are included in the validation
Using Dukascopy tick data (Tick Data Suite) in Tick Data Manager,
plus variable spreads with an extra 1.0 pips for AUDJPY, to validate.
Because this EA handles a spread that tends to widen at the start of the week,
we do not perform validation with a zero or fixed spread merely for cosmetic purposes.

② Results are consistent in two different validation environments
Verified over the same period in FXTF (domestic broker) and another environment with different conditions; performance differences were within 1%.

③ We explain every losing year and all misleading figures
Three of the 16 years were negative. We also honestly note the drawdown shown in MT4 reports below,
and you should judge after reading.

Suitable for these people

• Already have an USDJPY EA and want to diversify currency pairs
• Prefer small losses, large gains and trend-following types
• Do not want to hold positions overnight or over weekends
• Even if trading frequency is low, you are not bothered

Not suitable for these people

• Value high win rate (win rate is 46%)
• Worried if there is no daily trading (trades about once a week)
• Want to judge by several weeks (designed for year-long operation)

Backtest results (FXTF, recommended lot 0.09)

I will honestly report the drawdown: On MT4 reports, the maximum drawdown is shown as “9.15%.” This is the percentage relative to the balance at the time of drawdown (the assets increased toward the end of the validation).
The actual drop against an initial capital of 200,000 yen is

41,832 yen (20.9%).
The recommended lot is not the cosmetic “9.15%” but calculated based on this
“loss amount against initial capital.”

Annual profit/loss (recommended lot 0.09, FXTF)

※2026 year is current progress as of July.
Among 16 years, 3 years (2015, 2024, 2025) were negative.
Please understand that there are losing years, and operate on an annual basis.

Backtest verification conditions

  Data used     : Dukascopy tick data (Tick Data Suite)
  Spread        : Variable spread + 1.0 pips (AUDJPY)
  Model         : Full tick / Modeling quality 99.90%

Features

1.Week-start only entry— By narrowing the monitoring window, avoid trades in noisy times

2.Both directions supported— Follows breaks in both up and down markets

3.Trail and time-based exits— If it grows, chase it; if not, close by time. Stop-loss always set

4.Settles within the same day— Not affected by swaps

5.Misconfiguration guard and GMT auto-correction— Prevents erroneous operation due to setup mistakes

Starting with 0.01 lot is fine

There is no need to operate with the recommended lot from the start.
We also publish validation results with 0.01 lot (margin about 50,000 yen)
(Net profit 27,073 yen; maximum DD 4,648 yen).
First check the behavior at the smallest lot, and only after you are convinced would you increase the lot—this is the order in which you can start. The set files (.set) are also included in two types: “conservative” and “recommended.”

As part of your portfolio

Ignis is not a standalone account driver; it is an EA that adds a different personality strategy to stabilize the overall portfolio. I have developed other EAs with the same design philosophy
USDJPY dedicated EA “Meridian USDJPY M5” (long and night-hold type),
“Halcyon USDJPY M5” (short and same-day settlement type) is also offered.
Because currency pairs, direction, and holding times differ, combining them creates a portfolio with less bias.


Different magic numbers allow co-use in the same account.

Recommended environment

Please note

• Trading occurs about once a week.There can be several days to weeks without trades, but this is not a malfunction
• Because trades occur in the early morning when spreads widen, we recommend using accounts with narrow spreads (approx. AUDJPY with spread add-on of 1.0 pips or less)
• This EA trades based on a specific time. For brokers whose server time is not GMT+2/+3, you need to set the parameter “GMTOffset” (refer to the manual)

All verification reports (FXTF, 0.01 lot and recommended lot) are published.
Please verify the numbers with your own eyes and judge.

・Past performance does not guarantee future profits.
・Losses may occur depending on market conditions.
・Trading is at your own risk.
・This EA is not intended to provide investment advice.
・To prevent trouble, we recommend operating on domestic accounts.
