YenAnchorGBPJPY
- Experts
- Versão: 1.0
YenAnchorGBPJPY is a focused, single-pair Expert Advisor built for one instrument only: GBPJPY. It does one thing and aims to do it cleanly - a time-anchored session breakout, supported by disciplined equal-lot recovery and a hard stop on every position. This listing leads with the verified backtest, shows you BOTH the balance drawdown and the larger floating-equity drawdown, and tells you plainly why the win rate is high and where the strategy can struggle. If you value honest disclosure over hype, read on.
==============================
WHAT IT IS
==============================
- Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, trading GBPJPY only (single pair).
- A "time-anchor" breakout that frames the early session and trades the break, supported by a disciplined equal-lot recovery layer for adverse moves.
- It is not a multi-symbol toolkit and does not pretend to be.
- Attach it to ANY chart and ANY timeframe. It auto-resolves your broker's GBPJPY symbol regardless of suffix, and a manual symbol override is available if you need it.
- Recommended setup: attach to a GBPJPY H1 chart.
What this EA is NOT: no martingale, no lot multiplication, no unlimited grid, no arbitrage. Equal-lot only.
==============================
HOW IT WORKS
==============================
1) Build the box - from 03:00 to 11:00 EET, the EA records the session high and low to define a reference box for the day.
2) Anchor entry - around 11:00 EET it waits for a break. A move above box high + buffer triggers a buy; a move below box low - buffer triggers a sell. Maximum one trade per direction per day.
3) Protect every position - every single position carries a hard stop-loss in the 250-600 pip range. Nothing is left unprotected.
4) Equal-lot recovery, the disciplined way - if price moves against the position, the EA may add up to two more EQUAL-lot layers (3 positions total maximum), spaced by ATR and gated by an ADX filter plus a volatility-expansion filter. All layers use the SAME lot size. There is no lot multiplication and no unlimited grid.
5) Trend awareness to limit tail risk - a D1 EMA50/200 trend filter caps COUNTER-trend baskets to a single layer. The EA will not keep averaging against the higher-timeframe trend, which is the design choice intended to reduce tail risk.
6) Exit together - the basket closes as a group either at a small net profit (basket take-profit) or via a tight M15 trailing stop.

HONEST BACKTEST RESULTS
==============================
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, 1-minute OHLC modelling, 98% history quality. This is a backtest, NOT a real-tick test and NOT a live track record.
Conditions: GBPJPY, 2022.01.01 to 2026.06.15, deposit $500, fixed 0.01 lot.
- Net profit: +$360 (+72%)
- Profit Factor: 4.99
- Trades: 249
- Recovery Factor: 3.30
- Sharpe Ratio: 1.60
- Max balance drawdown: 7.5% ($48.74)
- Max EQUITY (floating) drawdown: 21.7% ($109)
- In-sample Profit Factor: 1.79; out-of-sample held up.
We deliberately publish the equity (floating) drawdown of 21.7% alongside the smaller 7.5% balance drawdown. The gap between the two is the part most listings hide: it is the open paper loss the basket recovery carries before it resolves. Size and judge this EA by the larger number, not the smaller one.
==============================
PLEASE READ - HONEST CAVEATS
==============================
- The edge is largely a yen-weakness trend rider combined with equal-lot basket recovery. It is long-biased in character.
- The very high win rate is a BY-PRODUCT of the basket recovery mechanism, NOT a measure of directional accuracy. Recovery turns many adverse entries into small net wins; that is a structural effect, not prediction. Do not read the win rate as a forecast of how often the entry signal is "right."
- In a sustained yen-STRENGTH regime, this long-biased approach may underperform.
- Expect real-world maximum drawdown in the region of 20-25%. Note the gap between balance drawdown (7.5%) and equity drawdown (21.7%) in the backtest - the equity figure is the number to plan around.
- Backtest results do not guarantee future performance.
==============================
WHO IT IS FOR
==============================
- Traders who want a single, focused GBPJPY system rather than a multi-symbol black box.
- Those who prefer a strategy they can actually understand: a defined session range, a defined entry time, and a hard stop-loss on every position.
- Users with a hedging account who can run the EA on a VPS for consistent uptime.
- People who accept that drawdown is part of trading and want honest expectations rather than marketing claims.
==============================
REQUIREMENTS
==============================
- MetaTrader 5.
- A HEDGING account is required for live trading.
- GBPJPY available at your broker (any symbol suffix is auto-resolved; a manual symbol override is also available).
- Recommended minimum deposit about $1,500 (approximately 1.5x the per-0.01-lot reference used in the backtest).
- A VPS is recommended for continuous, low-latency operation so the 11:00 EET entry window is never missed.
==============================
SETTINGS AND SIZING
==============================
- Account currency auto-detection: works on USD, JPY, and other account currencies. Sizing is USD-referenced and auto-converted to your account currency.
- Balance-proportional sizing with selectable risk profiles: Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive.
- A max-lots safety cap to bound exposure.
- An equity stop for account-level protection.
- Manual GBPJPY symbol override for non-standard symbol names.
==============================
QUICK SETUP
==============================
1. Open a GBPJPY H1 chart (any chart/timeframe works, but H1 is recommended).
2. Confirm your account is a hedging account.
3. Attach YenAnchorGBPJPY and allow algorithmic trading.
4. Choose a risk profile (start with Conservative if you are new to the EA).
5. Set the max-lots cap and equity stop to match your comfort level.
6. Consider running on a VPS so the 11:00 EET entry window is never missed.
==============================
RISK DISCLOSURE
==============================
Trading involves substantial risk. The figures above are backtest results from the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester (1-minute OHLC model, 98% history quality), not a live record, and do not guarantee future performance. The EA uses equal-lot recovery, which means floating drawdown can be meaningful before a basket closes, and every position is protected by a hard stop-loss that can be hit. This is a long-biased approach that can underperform during sustained yen strength, and real-world drawdown of roughly 20-25% should be expected. Recovery is strictly equal-lot and limited to three positions; the D1 trend filter caps counter-trend baskets to a single layer; there is a max-lots cap and an equity stop. None of this removes risk. Trade only with capital you can afford to risk, on a hedging account, with a deposit sized to the equity drawdown rather than the balance drawdown.
