Suggested range

—

The ID the EA stamps on its own orders so it never touches positions it did not open. Change it only if another EA on the same account happens to use the same number.

Default

3

Suggested range

—

How far (in pips) a market order may fill from the requested price before it is rejected. 3 pips is a working default for USD/JPY; it does not affect the backtest.

Default

true

Suggested range

—

The four conditions are evaluated once per closed H1 bar. The published record was measured this way.

Default

25

Suggested range

—

The fastest of the three simple moving averages read on H4. All three must be stacked in order before any entry is allowed.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

50

Suggested range

—

The middle average of the H4 stack. Its position between the 25 and the 75 is what defines an ordered trend for this filter.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

75

Suggested range

—

The slowest average of the H4 stack. Raising it makes the filter harder to satisfy and cuts an already low trade count.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

9

Suggested range

—

The lookback of the Ichimoku conversion line, read on the hourly chart. Its position relative to the base line is the first of the four conditions.

Default

26

Suggested range

—

The base-line setting of the handle the conversion line is read from. Kept identical to the second handle so both lines come from the same indicator settings.

Default

52

Suggested range

—

The span setting the Ichimoku indicator requires. The cloud it produces is not read by this EA — only the two lines are.

Default

9

Suggested range

—

The conversion setting of the second handle, kept identical to the first.

Default

26

Suggested range

—

The base line the conversion line is compared against. Together they form the first of the four entry conditions.

Default

52

Suggested range

—

The span setting of the second handle, kept identical to the first. Not part of the decision.

Default

25

Suggested range

—

Price is compared against this 25-period average on the hourly chart. This is the second of the four conditions that must agree.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

75

Suggested range

—

Price is compared against this 75-period average on the hourly chart. This is the third of the four conditions.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = simple moving average, the measured setting.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 = close price, the measured setting.

Default

0.1

Suggested range

0.1 per $10,000 of balance

Fixed lot per trade. The published record is 0.1 lot on a $10,000 balance; scaling both together keeps the drawdown percentage the same.

Default

40

Suggested range

—

Attached when a long order is sent and never widened. It is tight on purpose, which is why the EA is stopped out on roughly two trades in three and why the drawdown stays shallow.

Default

100

Suggested range

—

Two and a half times the stop. Reached 83 times in the published record against 150 full stop-outs — that ratio is the whole edge.

Default

40

Suggested range

—

The short side uses the same distance as the long side — the build is symmetric.

Default

100

Suggested range

—

The short side target, identical to the long side.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

One. A setup that appears while a position is open is ignored rather than queued. Across the whole published record the measured maximum of simultaneously open positions is one.

Default

50

Suggested range

—

Entries are skipped while the spread is wider than 50 points. With a 40-pip stop the spread matters more here than it would on a wider-stop EA.
