This EA is tailored for indices and instruments exhibiting strong directional tendencies, such as the NASDAQ (NAS100), where consistent asset growth favors disciplined structural buying.
Strategy Overview
The EA's core mechanism is designed to capture immediate, high-probability structural expansions:
Signal Detection:
The EA analyzes the last completed bar (Bar 1). If its closing price surpasses the high of the preceding bar (Bar 2), a bullish breakout signal is triggered.
Execution Precision:
Execution occurs strictly at the opening of a new bar (OnTick structure), mitigating execution lag and intra-candle noise.
Stop Loss (SL):
The SL is dynamically positioned at the low of the breakout candle (Bar 1).
Take Profit (TP):
TP is mathematically derived based on your custom risk-to-reward ratio.
Directionality:
The EA operates in a long-only mode, focusing on extracting gains during structural macro-bull trends.
Performance & Backtesting Notes
Tested Instrument:
NASDAQ (NAS100)
Timeframe:
H4
Backtest Window:
3.5 years (demonstrating positive net returns)
Backtest Methodology:
Conducted using M1 OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) bars.
⚠️ User Note:
While the strategy exhibits robust structural returns via M1 OHLC testing, it remains untested on 'Every Tick based on Real Ticks.' Users are strongly advised to perform real-tick simulations and optimizations tailored to their broker's spreads and contract specifications before live deployment.
Advanced Risk Management & Dynamic Lot Sizing
Breakout distinguishes itself from basic EAs by employing dynamic lot sizing based on your account equity. You specify a precise currency amount you're willing to risk (e.g., $20 or $50). The EA calculates the exact distance to the Stop Loss in ticks using SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE and SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE. This data is then normalized into a calculated position volume, adapting to broker rules (SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP). If a trade requires a lot size below the broker's minimum, it is safely skipped.
Input Parameters & Optimization Guide
The EA offers flexible input parameters optimized for the MT5 Strategy Tester:
Optimization Procedure:
Conduct a Fast (Genetic Algorithm) optimization on your target index.
InpMinSLPoints:
Adjust this parameter to filter out small structural candles that may lead to false breakouts.
InpRewardToRiskRatio:
Optimize this value between 0.5 and 2.5 to identify the optimal mathematical edge for the H4 timeframe.
