The Yen Master is an Expert Advisor for USDJPY that runs twelve independent breakout strategies on one chart. Each strategy has its own levels, stop loss, take profit and trade management.
Live monitoring is available through a public signal, so you can compare live trading with the backtest.
The price will increase as the number of users grows. The planned final price is 999 USD.
How it trades
The Expert Advisor trades breakouts of support and resistance levels on USDJPY. It finds swing highs and swing lows on the H1 and H4 charts and places stop orders just beyond levels that have not yet been broken. When price breaks a level, the order is filled and the trade follows the direction of the breakout.
Strategy design
The twelve strategies use different timeframes, stops, targets and trade management, so they trigger under different market conditions. They run together as one portfolio.
Main features
- No martingale and no grid
- Every trade has a stop loss and a take profit
- Daily loss limit, total loss limit, equity stop and equity target
- News filter and trading hours filter
- Simple setup on one chart
Testing
Every strategy was tested in the Strategy Tester on real tick data from 2003 to 2026. The test period includes the 2008 financial crisis, the 2011 yen intervention and the 2022 yen weakness.
The backtest reports in the screenshots are historical simulations, not real trading results. Past results do not guarantee future results. You can repeat the test with the model "Every tick based on real ticks". The length of the available tick history depends on your broker.
Setup
- Attach the Expert Advisor to one USDJPY chart. The chart timeframe does not matter.
- Choose a Trade Frequency: Low, Moderate or High.
- Choose a Risk Mode: Fixed lot, Automatic, or Risk % per trade.
The twelve strategies are built in, so no set files are needed. High runs all 12 strategies, Moderate runs 9, and Low runs 6, one variant of each design family.
Risk management
- Fixed lot: the same lot size for every strategy.
- Automatic: each strategy is sized from its own historical maximum drawdown, so every strategy carries a similar share of account risk. You set the % of balance a strategy may lose in its largest historical drawdown.
- Risk % per trade: each trade risks a fixed % of your balance, calculated from its stop loss.
In Automatic and Risk % mode, the lot size increases with new balance highs and does not decrease after a loss. Pending orders are resized when the balance changes by 5 %. An order is skipped if free margin is insufficient. A maximum lot per order can be set.
Account protection
When the closed and floating result of the day reaches the daily loss limit, all positions are closed, pending orders are deleted and trading pauses until the next day. When equity falls below the start balance by the total loss limit, all positions are closed and the Expert Advisor stops. The equity stop and equity target close all positions and stop the Expert Advisor at a fixed equity level.
A stop remains active after a chart reload or terminal restart. Trading resumes when you press RESET HALT on the panel. These limits can be set to match the daily and total loss rules of an account.
News filter
The Nonfarm Payrolls filter blocks new trades around the release, with optional closing of open positions and deletion of pending orders. You set the minutes before and after. In live trading, the economic calendar filter uses the MetaTrader 5 calendar for USD and JPY events of the selected importance, with the same options.
Trading hours
No new trades are opened on Monday before the start time you set. On Friday, all positions are closed and trading stops at the time you set, to avoid weekend gaps. Both times can use broker server time or GMT.
On chart panel
The panel shows balance, equity, floating profit, margin level and the result of the day, with status bars for the daily and total loss limits. It also shows the status of the news, calendar, trading hours and spread filters, and one row per strategy with its orders, positions, profit and trade count. The buttons are PAUSE ENTRIES, CLOSE ALL with confirmation, and RESET HALT. The font size is adjustable and a light and a dark theme are available.

Recommended setup
Use a USDJPY chart on any timeframe. A hedging account is recommended because several strategies can hold positions at the same time, and a raw spread account is preferred. The strategies were verified with broker server time GMT+2 or GMT+3. A virtual private server is recommended for continuous operation during the trading week.
Risk notice
The Yen Master is a rule based breakout system. It will have losing days, losing weeks and drawdowns. Every trade is protected by a stop loss, and you control the size of the risk through the risk settings.
