Tokio Trigger

Tokio Trigger: breakout EA for USDJPY H1

Optimized for USDJPY on the H1 timeframe. Backtested on MetaTrader 5 data from 2012 to 2025.

Overview

Tokio Trigger is a plug and play expert advisor designed for one specific setup: USDJPY on H1. It only opens long (buy) trades. Signals come from the Stochastic indicator and are confirmed by a breakout condition: a pending order is placed only if price moves above a key technical level.

How it works

• Entry signal: detects bearish crosses of the Stochastic %D, which may point to an oversold condition with potential for a bullish rebound.
• Execution: instead of entering at market, it places a Buy Stop order at the high of a defined period, so the trade only opens if the market confirms the move.
• Risk management: dynamic Stop Loss based on ATR multiplied by a fixed coefficient.
• Time exit: the trade closes automatically after a set time if the Stop Loss has not been hit.
• Friday filter: by default it avoids new entries near the weekly close to reduce gap exposure.
