[Phoenix PRO] Span Model EA originating from Japan | An automated trading EA that achieves automatic take profit x automatic stop loss x capital defense in MT4 automated trading, pursuing the "reproducibility of stable operation"
"Automated FX Trading" is widely recognized as a means to streamline asset management. With EAs (automated trading systems) utilizing MT4, trading without being swayed by emotions becomes possible, and an increasing number of individual investors are aiming for reproducible operations.
However, in reality, there are many cases where people "collapse trying to win back a single loss" or "performance sharply deteriorates when things go bad". Behind this problem lies a "certain behavior" that many people do unconsciously.
The "thought of trying to win it back" is the greatest risk
When a loss occurs in trading, many people think like this:
Let's get it back on the next one
I want to increase the lot size and recover it quickly
Let's be more aggressive than usual
While this behavior seems rational at first glance, it is actually
the most dangerous trigger that magnifies losses.
Why does the action of "trying to win it back" fail?
The reason is that your judgment criteria change.
Normally, you would
only enter when the conditions are met
but instead, it becomes a state where you
force an entry to cover the loss.
In other words, it changes from
"Trading according to rules" to "Trading according to emotions".
The role of Automated FX Trading is "blocking emotions"
Automated FX trading exists to solve this problem.
Its essence lies in
eliminating decision-making based on emotions and enforcing rules.
Following rules even when there's a loss
Judgment doesn't change even during a losing streak
Continuing consistent actions
This generates reproducibility.
However, there are cases where even automated trading collapses
What is important here is that
not all automated trading systems achieve "emotion elimination".
For example, in a design where:
Only entries are automated
Take profit and stop loss are discretionary
Fund management is optional
Human judgment ultimately intervenes, and the same problems occur.
What is needed is the "fixation of the entire trade"
To achieve stable operations, it is necessary to fix:
Entry
Take profit
Stop loss
Fund management
all as consistent rules.
"Phoenix PRO" by Phoenix Connect was designed based on this philosophy.
"Operation unswayed by emotions" achieved by Phoenix PRO
Phoenix PRO is an automated FX trading system that structures the entire trade based on the Span Model originating in Japan.
