⚡ Min deposit: from ¥100,000 (standard) / micro for small capital
Runs from the minimum USTEC lot. ¥100,000+ recommended. Index point moves are large, so a micro/cent account is advised for small/safe operation. Risk-% sizing auto-adapts to account size.
Trend-following fails on indices — dip-buying works
Breakout trend-following loses on every index (real PF<1), but dip-buying — aligned with the long-term-up + pullback nature of indices — works. This EA buys oversold (RSI≤40) pullbacks in an uptrend (above SMA200) and exits quickly on the bounce. It rides the NASDAQ100 tech-growth bias.
WHY DIP-BUYING (NOT TREND-FOLLOWING)
Why dip-buying, not trend-following
- Indices are mean-reverting: in live tests US30/US500/USTEC/JP225 all lose with breakout trend (PF<1). Indices grind up with pullbacks rather than spike.
- Capture the up-bias long-only: NASDAQ100 trends up long-term. Buying dips for the bounce beats selling drops — 76% win rate.
- Fast turnover = robust: buy shallow dips (RSI40), exit fast (RSI50), short hold. More trades than deep-dip waiting, stable across both OOS halves (PF1.49/1.44).
How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On NASDAQ-100 (USTEC) H4, a long-only mean-reversion system that buys only temporary oversold dips within an uptrend — exploiting the index's 'long-term rise + pullback rebound'.
Run Mode (Defensive / Standard / Aggressive)
Every EA exposes a "RunMode" dropdown that switches aggressiveness across three levels. It only multiplies the lot (risk) — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe never change.
Defensive
×0.5Half of standard risk. Both max drawdown and expected return are roughly halved. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The backtest figures shown on this page use this setting. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Double the standard risk. Return and max drawdown roughly double, raising the risk of ruin. Use only with money you can afford to lose.
Approximations relative to Standard (Defensive ≈ 0.5x / Aggressive ≈ 2x). Drawdown does not scale linearly; in sharp markets Aggressive can exceed this estimate. Lots auto-adjust to balance when compounding is on.

Out-of-scope markets & risks
- Dip-buying sits in drawdown during sustained crashes until the ATR-SL closes it (long-only = unfavorable in bear markets).
- NASDAQ100-only. Does not work on other indices (US30/US500/JP225) — verified live.
- Modest yearly return (~+0.9%/yr at 1% risk). Purpose is low-DD diversification. Raise risk-% or combine with other EAs for more return.
- Past real results do not guarantee the future. Trade with risk capital.
