[Karakuri Algo: USDJPY Exclusive] Tokyo Range Breakout Strategy - High-Precision Mechanism Made in Japan
Developed by "Karakuri Algo," this high-precision EA is specialized for USDJPY on the 15-minute timeframe. Much like traditional Japanese mechanical art (Karakuri), this system employs a sophisticated mechanism to identify the "Tokyo Session" price range and capture explosive breakouts during the European session open.
■ Strategic Logic Overview
This is not a simple breakout system; it utilizes multiple layers of filtering to ensure high-quality trade execution.
1. Automated Range Detection: Captures high and low prices daily from UTC 0:00 to 6:00.
2. EMA Trend Filter: Employs a 150-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the H1 timeframe to filter out trades against the dominant long-term trend.
3. High-Probability Entry: Executes a trade the moment price breaks the range by more than 2 pips after 3:00 PM JST (UTC 6:00). The entry window is strictly limited until UTC 20:00 to avoid late-night market noise.
■ Advanced Risk Management & Profit Protection
Equipped with adaptive exit logic utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) to respond to real-time market volatility.
* Dynamic Stop Loss (SL): Automatically adjusts based on ATR x 1.25.
* Dynamic Take Profit (TP): Set at ATR x 3.0, maintaining a robust risk-to-reward ratio of approximately 1:2.4.
* Trailing Stop: Automatically follows the price at an ATR x 0.8 distance to maximize gains during trending moves.
* Break-Even: Moves the stop loss to the entry price once a specific profit (ATR x 2.0) is achieved, effectively neutralizing risk.
* Entry Limit: Strictly limited to a maximum of 2 trades per day to prevent overtrading and preserve capital.
