Suggested range

—

The tag the EA writes on its own orders so it never touches a position another EA or you opened. Change it only if a second EA on the same account already uses this number.

Default

3

Suggested range

—

The EA sells into the minute before a fixing, which is a moment when price can move between the request and the fill. Three pips is what the record was measured with; lowering it means more rejected orders, raising it means worse fills.

Default

true

Suggested range

—

Keeps the entry to a single order per M1 bar. The strategy is one short per settlement morning, so turning this off does not add trades that were measured — it only risks duplicates.

Default

0.1

Suggested range

—

Fixed size — it is not scaled to your balance. The published record is one 0.1-lot short per $10,000, so if you double the lot you double both the profit and the drawdown.

Default

25

Suggested range

—

Placed 25 pips above the entry when the order is sent, and never moved afterwards. Roughly one trade in ten ends here.

Default

25

Suggested range

—

Placed 25 pips below the entry. About two trades in ten reach it — the fixing move is usually smaller than that, which is why the timed close matters more than this number.

Default

true

Suggested range

—

Japanese settlement custom covers the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and the final business day of the month. Setting this to false drops the month-end mornings and removes trading days the record contains.

Default

1

Suggested range

—

One. Every trade in the published record is a single short that opens and closes the same morning, so this EA never stacks exposure.

Default

40

Suggested range

—

The EUR/JPY spread widens around the Tokyo fixing, which is exactly the minute this EA wants to sell, so this guard does real work. Raising it lets the EA take a worse quote than the record was measured at.

Default

225.0

Suggested range

—

Despite the name this is a clock time, not a money amount — the build reads 225 as 02:25 server time. It is what ends roughly seven trades in ten, so it is the most important number on this page after the entry minute.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

The record was measured on a server that sits at GMT+0 all year. If your broker's server runs at GMT+2 in winter, set this to 2 — otherwise the EA trades an hour away from the fixing and this record no longer describes it.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

Set to 3 if your broker's server runs at GMT+3 in summer. Getting this wrong is the single easiest way to make this EA trade the wrong minute.

Default

0

Suggested range

—

0 follows the US changeover dates, 1 follows the EU dates, 2 means the server never changes. Match it to whatever your broker actually does with its server clock.
