Valeur par défaut

137855

Plage suggérée

—

The ID this 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 already uses 137855.

Valeur par défaut

3

Plage suggérée

—

How far the fill may slip before the order is rejected. The published record was measured at 3 pips; the entry is a market order at a fixed time, so a wider value trades more often at worse prices.

Valeur par défaut

true

Plage suggérée

—

Allows at most one entry per M1 bar. The published record was measured with this on, and the strategy only ever wants a single entry per gotobi date.

Valeur par défaut

0.1

Plage suggérée

—

Position size of the one position this EA holds. The published record was measured at 0.1 lot on a 10,000 USD balance — every trade in the ledger is 0.1 lot. Scale it to your own balance, not beyond it.

Valeur par défaut

150

Plage suggérée

—

Distance of the protective stop behind the entry. It is deliberately wide: the exit that actually ends the trade is the clock, and the stop is there for the night the fix flow does not arrive. Only 2 of the 411 published trades ended near it.

Valeur par défaut

150

Plage suggérée

—

Distance of the profit target. Like the stop it sits far from price — 5 of the 411 published trades reached it. The trade is normally closed by time, not by this level.

Valeur par défaut

true

Plage suggérée

—

Treats the last business day of the month as a gotobi date in addition to the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th. Turning it off removes roughly one trade a month from the pattern the record was measured on.

Valeur par défaut

1

Plage suggérée

—

How many days ahead of the gotobi date the position is opened. 1 means the EA enters on the evening before, which is what the published record measured — the position is already open when Tokyo starts pricing the fix.

Valeur par défaut

1

Plage suggérée

—

Hard cap on how many positions can be open at once. It is 1, and every published trade respects it — there is no averaging down and no second entry while one is running.

Valeur par défaut

60

Plage suggérée

—

Skips the entry when the broker spread is wider than this at 15:00 UTC. CHF/JPY widens around the Tokyo open, so a value far below 60 points will silently skip trades the record contains.

Valeur par défaut

54.0

Plage suggérée

—

Server time at which the EA closes whatever it holds, written as HHMM — 54 means 00:54. That is one minute before Tokyo banks fix the TTM rate at 09:55 JST. 404 of the 411 published trades ended here.

Valeur par défaut

0

Plage suggérée

—

Your broker's server offset from GMT outside daylight saving. The record was measured on a server running GMT+0. Get this wrong and every entry and exit lands at the wrong hour, which makes it a different strategy.

Valeur par défaut

0

Plage suggérée

—

Your broker's server offset from GMT during daylight saving. Same warning as the winter value — this EA decides everything by the clock.

Valeur par défaut

0

Plage suggérée

—

Which daylight-saving calendar the server follows: 0 = US, 1 = EU, 2 = none. The published record used 0 on a GMT+0 server, where the setting has no effect; on a server that does shift, pick the rule your broker actually uses.
