About EA's Strategy
Translating...
This EA does not claim to be the Holy Grail. It is a portfolio EA that bundles six anomalies whose occurrence times are structurally fixed, derived from 14.5 years of 1-minute data.
- No averaging down(No buying more to cover unrealized losses)
- No martingale(No increasing lot size after a loss)
- No positions without stop loss(By default, SL is set on all lots)
- No holding in salt(Must close within up to 5 business days)
Source of profits
The EA’s profits stem not from prediction but from the market structure. Real demand flow where importers settle at the fixing on Goto day and month-end, energy accumulated in Tokyo hours released during European hours, and mean reversion from daily overshoots. Since the timing is structurally determined, we target only those times.
| Time | Strategy | Currency | Settlement | SL | Lot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9:00 | ② Three consecutive bearish candles Buy on dips Next morning after a three-day bearish daily | USDJPY | After 5 trading days | 300p | ×0.37 |
| 9:00 | ③ BB lower band Buy on dips Next morning after breaking the BB(20, 2σ) lower band | USDJPY | After 5 trading days | 300p | ×0.53 |
| 9:55 | ⑤ After fixing, go short Goto day + month-end | USDJPY | 11:00 | 15p | ×1.88 |
| 9:55 | ⑥ After fixing, go short Goto day | EURJPY | 11:00 | 20p | ×1.88 |
| 16–20時 | ① Tokyo range breakout Break range by ±2p | USDJPY | Next day 2:50 | 60p | ×1.00 |
| 18:00 | ⑦ London morning short Only on days with prior day high volatility | EURUSD | 21:00 | 30p | ×1.50 |
※ In addition, there is a ④ Monday gap fade (USDJPY) built in, but due to brokers limited to early-week trading, it is disabled by default (GAP_Enable=false). The six strategies above constitute the standard configuration.
The 6 strategies are allocated based on risk per trade. The daily-strategy pairs (②③) are limited to lot multipliers of 0.37–0.53, while the lower-volatility intraday flow strategies (⑤⑥) are raised to 1.88 to balance risk contributions across strategies. Since both long and short positions exist, the overall exposure is effectively market-neutral. Applying the same EA to 3 charts (USDJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD) automatically detects the currencies and all strategies run.
Using about 5.4 million minutes of data with a round-trip cost of 1.0 pips deducted.
| Total gain (6-strategy composite) | +24,262 pips |
| Annual average | +1,673 pips |
| Total trades | 6,453 trades (average ~445 per year) |
| Compound 100,000 units/1,000,000 currency | CAGR 16.6% / Max DD 10.7% |
| Compound 150,000 units/1,000,000 | CAGR 24.5% / Max DD 14.8% |
| Compound 200,000 units/1,000,000 (recommended) | CAGR 32.6% / Max DD 18.5% |
| Annual negative years | 0 / 14 years (2012–2025; min +0.8%) |
| Number of emergency stops activated at 25% | 0 |
※ The verification deducts a round-trip cost of 1.0 pips. If your broker’s spreads/fees are higher than this, performance will be below the verification values. All above figures are historical backtests and do not guarantee future performance.
① Drawdown-linked lot reduction
If effective equity falls 5% from the peak, all strategies’ lots are automatically halved. If new highs are reached, it automatically recovers. In tests, this reduces maximum drawdown and acts as an insurance.
② 25% emergency stop
Stops all new entries if there is a 25% drop from the peak. In 14.5 years of backtesting, this line has never been touched. Still included.
③ Order dispersion jitter
Assigns deterministic 0–60 second delays per account to trigger at all times, preventing many active copies from concentrating in the same second and degrading fill quality.
| Platform | MetaTrader 4 (build 600 or later) |
| Server time | Automatically detects GMT-12 to +14 (regardless of daylight saving). Confirmable in startup log |
| Applicable charts | USDJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD (apply the same EA to all three) |

| Broker mode | STP / ECN both supported (in brokers that cannot transmit SL simultaneously, SL is automatically assigned after execution) |
| Recommended funds | At least 300,000 yen. Recommend brokers with minimum lot size 0.01 |
| Recommended lot size | Start at 100,000,000 currency per 100,000 units → after performance verification, increase to 200,000 per 100,000 |
| Maximum number of positions | 6 (7 if ④ Monday Gap is enabled) |
| Hedging | Enabled (short and long strategies may be held simultaneously) |
| Operating environment | VPS recommended (operates 24/7 including 2:50 AM settlements and 6 PM entries) |
| Trading frequency | About 37 trades per month (all strategies combined) |

Automatic spread absorption by broker
① Automatic server-time detection ensures timing remains consistent across daylight saving schemes. ② Brokers with Sunday bars synthesize NY-side daily closes on their own to align criteria for ② and ③ with verified data. ③ If account currency is not yen, rate is automatically obtained to convert lots. ④ One-lot currency amount (100k/10k/1k) is retrieved from broker to adjust order size. ⑤ ECN brokers that cannot transmit SL simultaneously automatically assign SL after fill.
※ Because this design increases lots in proportion to balance, if a single order size exceeds 1,000,000 units (10 lots), consider lowering UnitsPer1M or distributing across multiple accounts.
Place ex4 into the Experts folder → Drag & drop onto 3 charts → Enable automated trading → Ensure the Expert Log’s “JST/NY timing” matches real time. It will operate. Please refer to the included manual for details.
Q. Are there days without any positions?
Yes. ②③⑤⑥ operate only on qualifying days, and ⑦ on days with prior high volatility.
Q. A negative month occurred
Negative months occur roughly every 3–4 months in backtests. Please evaluate on an annual basis.
Q. Can I use it with overseas accounts?
Yes. It automatically detects account currency and converts lots, yielding the same risk as a yen account.
Q. Is it okay if I restart or power off?
Order records are stored persistently and there is no double-ordering after restart.
Q. Can it be used with other EAs?
Yes, as long as the magic numbers do not collide. Please manage margin collectively.

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.

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)
