BOJ Combo — USD/JPY robot
A rare, one-directional strategy on the yen. Two modules — one hunts, one traps — and both of them only ever sell. In seven and a half years of testing it took 124 positions and not a single long. If you want something that trades every day, this is not it.
The two drawdown numbers — and why one of them looks alarming
This robot reports two very different drawdowns, and quoting either one alone would be dishonest:
| Measure | Amount | Of the account |
|---|---|---|
| Balance drawdown — money actually lost | $1,333.46 | 6.01% |
| Equity drawdown — including open positions | $6,167.87 | 37.21% |
| Absolute equity drawdown — below the starting deposit | $18.47 | 0.18% |
The 37% figure is unrealised profit handed back, not capital lost. On 3 January 2019, during the yen flash crash, the robot took two shorts and was up about $2,300 within eight hours; at the peak the floating profit lifted the account near $16,500 before price rebounded and the positions closed lower than that peak. MetaTrader measures that give-back from the peak, so it lands in the equity drawdown column.
The proof that it was not a loss: across the whole 7.6 years, the account was never more than $18.47 below its starting deposit, and the balance never closed below it at all. We publish all three numbers because the middle one, quoted alone, would frighten you for the wrong reason — and quoting only the first would flatter us.
How it trades
- Short only. 124 trades, zero longs. This is a structural choice, not a coincidence of the test window, and you should size it knowing the robot has one direction.
- Two modules: the hunt module took 102 of the entries, the trap module 22.
- Rare. About sixteen trades a year. Long quiet stretches are normal.
- Attached to the H1 chart in live use; one position per module, stop set before entry, no grid and no martingale.
What you get
- The licensed robot for MetaTrader 5, bound to your account number.

Sensible for a strategy this patient — a month may contain no trades at all.
Priced below Gold Final on purpose: it trades rarely and in one direction, so it is a smaller product. Both plans are issued instantly by @Evelyn_Pay_bot.
