Monthly Burst chases strong monthly USDJPY moves with FIXED lots — a deliberately different money model from our compounding EAs. This guide explains the setup and the operating rhythm the product is designed around.

Setup
Attach to a USDJPY H1 chart. One position at a time, hard volatility-sized stop on every trade, no averaging, no grid. Defaults are the published configuration (fixed-lot model; RiskPercent stays 0 unless you deliberately switch to percent sizing). Real MT5 every-tick backtest measured a maximum drawdown of about 12% on the $10,000 base.
The money model — read this part
Because lots are fixed, profits do NOT compound: the EA is built for a withdraw-and-redeposit rhythm. Run it on a base amount you consider working capital, withdraw the burst after a strong month, and top the account back to base after a losing stretch. High variance is the design: some months contribute nothing, a strong month pays for the quarter. If you want automatic compounding instead, that is what OVERDRIVE USDJPY (our compounding USDJPY sibling) is for.
What normal looks like
H1 trend entries with bounded per-trade loss. Flat weeks between bursts are the normal state — the news filter also blocks entries around major events. Do not judge it on a single month in either direction.
Do not touch
Entry and stop parameters define the tested system. Your inputs: the lot (within your risk budget), the RunMode presets, safety guard and notifications.
