EURJPY Range Dynamics
EURJPY Range Dynamics is a session range breakout Expert Advisor built for EURJPY. It trades the breakout of the Tokyo morning range, but only when both legs of the pair agree, and it closes every open trade at a fixed hour. No grid, no martingale, no averaging. One position at a time, with a fixed stop loss and a fixed risk per trade.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Range. The EA measures the high and low of the Tokyo morning window, by default 02:00 to 05:30 broker server time.
2. Breakout. A trade is prepared only when a bar closes outside that range on the entry timeframe. A wick through the level is not enough.
3. Basket confirmation. EURJPY is made of two legs: the euro and the yen. Before entering, the EA checks EURUSD and USDJPY. A EURJPY buy needs a rising EURUSD (strong euro) and a rising USDJPY (weak yen). The move of both is measured in ATR units, so the filter adapts to volatility.
4. Time exit. Any trade that is still open at 12:00 server time is closed. The EA does not carry the position into the European and US afternoon.
5. Risk. Stop loss from the volatility of the pair, limited to a share of the range. Take profit as a multiple of the stop. Fixed money risk per trade.
WHY THE TIME EXIT
In our tests the breakout of the Tokyo range did its work within a few hours. Holding the position longer added losses, not profit. The largest decline of the balance grew step by step with a later exit: about 410 USD with an exit at 10:00, 500 USD at 12:00, 700 USD at 14:00 and more than 1,000 USD at 16:00 or later. Closing at noon also lifted the win rate from 34 % to 52 %.
BACKTEST RESULTS
EURJPY, M15, real ticks, January 2024 to October 2026. Deposit 10,000 USD, fixed risk 50 USD per trade (0.5 %), default settings.
Year Trades Net USD Win rate Profit factor Loss streak
2024 147 +477 49.7 % 1.17 6
2025 134 +1,220 55.2 % 1.58 6
2026 (to Oct) 101 +632 49.5 % 1.33 7
Total 382 +2,329 51.6 % 1.34 7
Largest decline of the closed balance: 501 USD (about 5 % of the deposit).
Largest equity drawdown inside a single year: 5.1 %.
Please read these numbers correctly. About one trade in two wins. Around 63 % of all trades end at the time exit, 30 % at the stop loss and 7 % at the take profit. The average winner was 47 USD and the average loser 36 USD at 50 USD risk. The edge is small and steady, not spectacular. Series of 6 to 7 losing trades in a row occurred in every test year. 2024 was the weakest year.
ROBUSTNESS
The default values were not picked as a single best result. Neighbouring settings were tested as well and stayed profitable in the three-year test: range start 01:45 to 02:30, range length 195 to 240 minutes, exit hour 11:00 to 13:00, basket threshold 0.1 to 0.3 and without basket. A range start at 01:30 or a range of 180 minutes was clearly weaker, so these values should not be used.

PROP FIRM USE
The EA works with a fixed stop loss, a fixed risk per trade, one trade per day and no overnight positions. Daily and total loss limits of an evaluation account can be planned in advance. It does not guarantee passing an evaluation.
