.JP225Cash H1 · Monday Band Entry
No grid. No martingale. An individual initial stop-loss per trade. No averaging into losing positions or loss-recovery lot progression. Automated forex/CFD trading can cause a total loss. This is product information, not personal investment advice.
Strategy: Focuses on selective buying opportunities within a weekday window, using price bands to assess the setup. Pending entries, stops and targets adapt to volatility; optional trailing and a daily time exit manage the trade.
A defined strategy. Test before buying. A trading idea with rules for entry, exit and position sizing. Review the historical tests and losing periods, then run the free Market demo in MT5. No income or profit promises.
Risk: 1% of fixed 10,000 reference capital = 100 account-currency units of planned initial-stop risk per trade. Current-balance and fixed-lot modes are also available. Gaps, fees and execution can exceed this budget; modified pending orders may change their stop risk.
Historical test: 1 Jan 2020–8 Oct 2026 · 10,000 EUR start · real ticks · 1:100 · 100 ms delay. Net profit 5,700.02 EUR · 457 positions · 6.38% relative equity drawdown. Gallery: current-binary MT5 export analyses, monthly results, drawdown, 5,000 offline Monte Carlo paths, modeled cost stress and a separate current-balance risk comparison.
Parameter and timeframe checks: 80/80 planned input tests remained profitable (80 unique settings; nine active inputs; local changes of approximately 20–40%, including integer rounding). Interactions and nonlinear effects between volatility, entry and exit settings remain. M30 and H2 also ended positive with unchanged inputs. Separate M1 OHLC tests, 1 Jan 2020–8 Oct 2026, EUR 10,000 start and EUR 100 planned initial-stop risk per trade. OHLC approximates intraminute execution; these checks do not prove absence of overfitting.
Setup: Load the matching preset, assign a unique MagicNumber and enable Algo Trading. Check broker symbol, costs, lot/stop limits and margin. Avoid sharing a netting symbol with other strategies. The adjacent timeframes shown in the gallery were screened with OHLC; other assets remain unverified. Test the Market demo first.
Historical and simulated results do not predict future performance. No independent out-of-sample confirmation.
Monte Carlo and cost stress are offline diagnostics. Native tick/data coverage warnings remain relevant. Stop orders do not guarantee a loss cap; simultaneous trades add exposure.
