USD/JPY
Yes, LFP trades USD/JPY. In the backtest from 2020/01 onward it took 203 trades, produced 8.3% of the basket’s total profit, and had a profit factor of 1.8 — ranking 2 of the basket’s 11 markets.
The dollar against the yen is the most traded Asian currency pair, and it joined the LFP basket with the October 2026 build. It is traded on the hourly chart: each closed bar is read, the position closes when the reading changes, and every trade carries a stop of twice the average range (ATR). In practice it is on the buy side most of the time.
This market in the backtest
Every figure comes from the same backtest the console runs on: from 2020/01 onward, with the broker’s real spread and swap, on the default Brave style. A new sweep updates these pages by itself.

What to know about this market
- It runs in the PropFirm, Brave and Reckless styles and is off in Mad: in the Mad tests it took the account’s overall drawdown close to that style’s stop.
- Plainly: most of this market’s backtest profit came from the dollar’s long rise against the yen (2021 to 2024) and the positive swap on the buy side. If that trend turns, this market loses; each trade’s stop limits the size of that loss, not whether it happens.
- In the basket tests it raised the profit factor in every style it runs in and lowered the account’s overall drawdown. That is why it is in the basket.
- This symbol is named differently at different brokers. The robot finds your broker’s own name for it by itself, and the free compatibility test checks it exists before you buy.
- Your broker sets the spread and swap on this market, not us. Those are what separate a live account from a backtest.
