during the designated range period, the ea gathers minute-based high and low prices to calculate the maximum and minimum values. it then visually represents this consolidation zone on the chart using a rectangle object.
after the range period concludes, the ea compares the closing price of the most recent candle (which is distinct from the range end time) against the established boundaries. if a breakout is identified, the ea automatically places a buy or sell order. the take-profit level is set equal to the size of the detected range, and the stop-loss is placed at the opposite boundary.
