Alchemy Finance Series - AUD/CAD Exclusive | High Returns Dual-Wield Model
Alchemy Finance DUO
A blade of the sword (AUD side) and a dagger (CAD side), two different natures swinging at the same time.
Whether solo or dual-wielded — a dedicated AUDCAD aggressive averaging EA you can choose.
“The aggressive EA worries about margin”
The higher the return target, the more you increase lot size and trading frequency, which can squeeze margin and leave you stuck—that anxiety is common.
“DUO” features margin checks and dynamic lot caps, and alsothree-tier safety: pre-news/after-news stop, year-end holiday filter, and short-duration rapid-change filteras safety devices.we tune the line to keep margin maintenance rate above 100% based on real measurementswhile trading aggressively.
Why “DUO”
In the AUD/CAD pair, two resource-rich currencies, two blades with different natures—this is “DUO.”
Sword (Katana)is a method built around RSI25/75 and standard counter-trend conditions.Dagger (Tanto)is a method that uses a highly selective RSI20/80, narrowing trades for high win rate. The two operate independently, about 90% of the time they miss each other, and in about 10% of cases they enter simultaneously to create a synergistic effect.
Similar to the popular “Alchemy” sister series targeting gold, the “Alchemy DUO” combines two strategies into one—designed to integrate two strategies into onereconstructed to suit AUD/CAD price movements. Furthermore, “DUO”allows individual ON/OFF for Katana and Tantoso you can run dual-wield full strength or operate Katana alone or Tanto alone.
📊 Backtest Results (2018.10〜2026.08, about 7.9 years)
DUO full operation (simultaneous Katana + Tanto) with Initial_Lot=0.05, tested at 25x leverage (domestic account cap) and 1000x side by side.
Leverage Comparison (Initial Margin 1,000,000 JPY, Lot 0.05, DUO Full)
| Item | Leverage 25x | Leverage 1000x |
|---|---|---|
| Total P/L | +274.7% (2,746,887 JPY) | +274.7% (2,746,887 JPY) |
| Profit Factor | 2.09 | 2.09 |
| Max Drawdown Margin | 470,170 JPY (19%) | 470,170 JPY (19%) |
| Recovery Factor / Sharpe | 5.84 / 1.11 | 5.84 / 1.11 |
| Trades | 3,911 | 3,911 |
With Leverage 25x and 1000x, P/L, PF, DD, and trade counts fully matchsame. Margin maintenance rate as an indicator changes the denominator for calculations (25x: 115.99%, 1000x: 4639.31%), but remains clearly above 100% at 25x, and there was no stop-out.
Sincere disclosure:During this backtest, Initial_Lot=0.06 was considered, but margin maintenance rate approached the loss-cut threshold near 96% with 25x leverage; thus 0.05 was adopted as the final standard lot. Also added the pre/post holiday filter and short-term rapid-change filter to improve tolerance to brief rapid changes observed in Jan 2019 and Jan 2026.
⚔️ Not only Dual-Wield: Solo Operation Options
You can individually ON/OFF Use_Katana and Use_Tanto. Run only one side and increaseLot size if desired.
| Total P/L | +258.6% (2,586,424 JPY) |
| PF | 2.07 |
| Margin Maintenance (minimum, 25x) | 121.51% |
| Trades | 2,751 |
| Total P/L | +165.2% (1,651,625 JPY) |
| PF | 2.26 |
| Margin Maintenance (minimum, 25x) | 107.22% |
| Trades | 1,118 |
Since Tanto alone reduces trades,win rate around 75%is the highest among the three modes. Katana alone delivers near-DUO profitability with less activity, and if you raise the lot size, you can keep margin maintenance above 100% even at 25x leverage.
Compound Growth Operation
You can also automatically adjust lots according to margin changes with a compound growth approach. We tested starting with 300,000 JPY initial margin and initial lot 0.01, varying the base equity for compound calculation (Compound_Base_Equity).
| Item | Compound / Aggressive (Base = 300,000 JPY) |
Compound / Standard (Base = 500,000 JPY) |
|---|---|---|
| Total P/L | +516.5% (1,549,641 JPY) | +265.8% (797,379 JPY) |
| Profit Factor | 2.05 | 2.06 |
| Margin Relative Drawdown | 39% (311,876 JPY) | 20% (130,623 JPY) |
| Recovery Factor / Sharpe | 3.68 / 1.02 | 4.40 / 1.09 |
Setting the base equity equal to the margin (300,000 JPY) maximizes compounding and yields total P/L up to +516.5%, but drawdown goes to 39%. Setting base equity to 500,000 JPY (higher than margin) auto-dampens the initial lots until margin reaches base, reducing DD to 20% but keeping total P/L to +265.8%.
Candid Disclosure & Important:Compound growth is heavily influenced by the relationship between Compound_Base_Equity (compound base) and the actual initial margin. Our results show thatsetting the base equal to the actual initial margincauses margin maintenance rate to dip into loss-cut territory at 25x leverage (down to 98.39%).Setting the base higher than actual marginreduces early lot sizes automatically and improves margin maintenance to 109.70% under the same conditions. If you choose compound growth, strongly recommend setting the base equity higher than actual initial margin. The optimal balance of compound growth depends on capital strength and risk tolerance, so please backtest in your environment and adjust Compound_Base_Equity accordingly.
Recommended Settings by Operation Mode
| Mode | Recommended Lot | Features | Measured (Leverage 25x) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DUO Full Operation (Katana + Tanto) |
0.05 | Standard / Backtest 기준 | +274.7%, DD19%, Maintenance 115.99% |
| Katana Only | 0.07 | Leverage high use | +258.6%, DD15%, Maintenance 121.51% |
| Tanto Only | 0.10 | Prioritize high win rate | +165.2%, DD24%, Maintenance 107.22% |
Note: It is possible to raiseLot size in solo modes, but doing so can bring margin maintenance rate close to loss-out. The above levels are confirmed to stay above 100% at 25x leverage.
🛡️ Built-in Safety Mechanisms
This aggressive model includes strong safety devices to boost durability.
If spare margin falls below required margin at order time, the order is automatically skipped.
If profits on one side exceed losses on the opposite side, they auto-offset. When profits reach a target while a one-way accumulation occurs, positions are closed together.
Before/after key AUD and CAD indicator releases, all processing—from new entries to TP updates and closures—is paused.
During thin-market periods like year-end holidays (12/29–1/3), all processing is paused.
If a 60-second window sees a price swing of 15 pips or more, all processing stops for 15 minutes to avoid cascade liquidations.
Up to 20 levels per direction. A safety device to prevent unlimited laddering.
With the server time offset auto-adjust feature (common to the Calm + Shield), switching brokers makes it easy to reconfigure the time-zone filtering.

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)
