🔥 THE CONCEPT BEHIND TOKYO SNIPER SHIN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core development question behind Tokyo Sniper is:
“Why do real-demand flows appear in USDJPY at specific times of the day?”
Rather than simply combining conditions that performed well in historical tests, Tokyo Sniper Shin focuses on a more fundamental question:
“Why does this price behavior occur?”
Market structure and the underlying reason behind each condition are treated as essential.
Based on data collected through the operation and evaluation of Tokyo Sniper Classic, each logic was re-examined for Shin.
Instead of adding parameters simply to fit recent market conditions, Shin was rebuilt from the original question:
“Why does the flow appear at that specific time, and why does it fade afterward?”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ FOUR INDEPENDENT REAL-DEMAND FLOW LOGICS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
【1】Gotobi-Day Buy Logic
This logic focuses on Japan’s well-known “Gotobi” settlement days, when corporate import payments can create increased demand for US dollars.
Target dates:
5th / 10th / 15th / 20th / 25th / Month-end
The logic seeks to capture dollar demand that may develop ahead of the 9:55 a.m. Tokyo fixing.
In Shin, Gotobi days are not treated as one identical group.
The time characteristics of each type of Gotobi day were re-evaluated individually.
【2】Gotobi-Day Sell Logic
This logic targets potential reversals after the Tokyo fixing.
A checkpoint is used after the trade has been open for a certain period of time.
Position management changes depending on whether the trade is in profit or loss, allowing the EA to respond to the time-based characteristics that can appear after the fixing.
【3】Non-Gotobi Logic
USDJPY time-based behavior is not limited to Gotobi days.
Distinct price behavior can also appear during specific periods on ordinary trading days.
Tokyo Sniper Shin does not select these periods simply because they produced attractive backtest results.
The key question is:
“Can this time window be explained by an underlying real-demand flow?”
Time periods with weaker justification are removed, with trade quality prioritized over trade frequency.
【4】Integrated Stabilizer
The three primary logics are not simply run independently at all times.
They are integrated with consideration for market conditions and volatility.
The objective is to reduce excessive dependence on any single logic and improve the overall balance of the EA.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 THREE CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
【1】Focus on Time
Tokyo Sniper is not designed around stacking large numbers of complicated chart patterns.
The main focus is:
“At what time are specific market participants more likely to create meaningful flows?”
【2】Every Condition Needs a Reason
Selecting conditions only because they performed well in a backtest can increase the risk of overfitting.
Tokyo Sniper therefore places importance on:
“Why should this condition have a reason to work?”
【3】Quality Over Quantity
The objective is not to maximize the number of trades.
Weak setups are filtered out.
The EA is designed to:
“Wait until the required conditions are present.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏆 22 CONSECUTIVE PROFITABLE YEARS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In the main backtest:
2004 – 2025
all 22 calendar years finished with a positive annual result.
This period includes very different market environments:
• 2008 Global Financial Crisis
• 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and FX intervention
• 2013 Abenomics
• 2016 Brexit
• 2020 COVID-19 market shock
• 2022 onward: rapid JPY depreciation and major monetary-policy changes
The system was tested across multiple market regimes, not just a small number of favorable years.
※The 22 consecutive profitable years refer to historical backtest results
※Future annual profitability is not guaranteed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡 RISK MANAGEMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tokyo Sniper Shin does not use a recovery approach that adds more positions as losses increase.
✅ No Martingale
✅ No Grid
✅ No Averaging Down
✅ Stop-loss management
✅ Take-profit management
✅ Position sizing based on the selected risk percentage
Risk management is a core part of the system design.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⏱ TRADING FREQUENCY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tokyo Sniper Shin is a long-term, low-frequency EA.
It is not designed to trade every day.
Some weeks may contain several trades, while other periods may have very few or no entries.
The priority is:
“Trading” less than
“Waiting for the right conditions.”
If you are looking for an EA that opens many positions every day, Tokyo Sniper may not match your preferred trading style.

👨💻 DEVELOPMENT TEAM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HAKASE & KEISUKE
Tokyo Sniper was developed through long-term research into real-demand flows and time-based characteristics in the Japanese USDJPY market.
For Shin, the team did not simply add new parameters.
Each logic was re-evaluated using data and experience gained from operating and testing the Classic version.
Future updates will be made when there is a clear market-structure rationale and reproducible evidence to support the change.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔄 UPDATES & MAINTENANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ Bug fixes
✅ Compatibility updates for MT4 environment changes
✅ Logic maintenance when necessary
✅ Updates for existing users
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tokyo Sniper Shin is not designed to generate aggressive short-term returns.
Although the long-term backtest shows positive annual results, the path includes:
• Losing months
• Losing streaks
• Drawdowns
• Periods of stagnation
Performance should be evaluated over the medium to long term rather than over only a few weeks or one to two months.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
