Dollar Yen Trader EA

The USDJPY Trader EA is an automated trend following system that is always in the market and trades using sell stop and buy stop orders with trailing stop losses to capture large movements in the market.

It also includes a money management feature which calculates lot size based on account size and risk with an option to set a maximum draw down at which the EA will stop trading.

This is a long term strategy combined with money management and will work on any pair but works best on USDJPY M15.

Optimization & Defaults

Default input values are for USDJPY, if using on other pairs optimization of Input1 and Input2 are needed to find the best results. Turn money management off when optimizing so that performance in the latter half of the test isn't weighted and better overall results are easier to spot. When optimizing, test over a year period or more, and when checking which settings are best, test an even longer period to check out of sample data, this will reduce the chance of settings being overfit.
