Magic numberMagicNumber
- Valeur par défaut
- 679031
- 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 679031.
Max slippage (pips)Slippage
- Valeur par défaut
- 3
- Plage suggérée
- —
How far the fill may slip before the order is rejected. The entry is a market order placed at a fixed minute, right when the fix prints, so this is the moment of the day when the spread is least friendly.
One entry per barOncePerBar
- Valeur par défaut
- true
- Plage suggérée
- —
Allows at most one entry per M1 bar. The strategy only ever wants a single entry per gotobi date, and the published record was measured with this on.
Lot sizeLotSize
- 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 that size. GBP/JPY moves quickly, so the same lot swings more than it would on a quieter pair.
Stop loss (pips)SL_Pips_n13
- Valeur par défaut
- 20
- Plage suggérée
- —
Distance of the protective stop. It is tight because the trade is short-lived: the position is closed by the clock about ninety minutes later, so the stop only has to cover one burst against it.
Take profit (pips)TP_Pips_n13
- Valeur par défaut
- 30
- Plage suggérée
- —
Distance of the profit target, set wider than the stop. Neither level is what usually ends the trade — the clock is — but when the move after the fix runs, this is where it is banked.
Include month endGotobiMonthEnd_n8
- 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 about one trade a month from the pattern the record was measured on.
Max positionsMaxPositions_n9
- 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.
Max spread (points)MaxSpread_n10
- Valeur par défaut
- 50
- Plage suggérée
- —
Skips the entry when the broker spread is wider than this at 00:55 UTC. That minute is exactly when GBP/JPY spreads widen, so a value well below 50 points will silently skip trades the record contains.
Close-all time (HHMM)CloseAllThreshold_9000
- Valeur par défaut
- 225.0
- Plage suggérée
- —
Server time at which the EA closes whatever it holds, written as HHMM — 225 means 02:25. That is about ninety minutes after the fix, and it is what ends most published trades.
Server GMT offset (winter)GMT_Offset_Winter
- Valeur par défaut
- 0
- Plage suggérée
- —
Your broker's server offset from GMT outside daylight saving. The record was measured on a GMT+0 server. Get this wrong and both the entry and the exit land at the wrong hour — which makes it a different strategy, not a worse one.
Server GMT offset (summer)GMT_Offset_Summer
- 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.
DST ruleDST_Rule
- 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 it has no effect; on a server that does shift, pick the rule your broker actually uses.
