BREAKOUT EA · DAILY BREAKOUT · MT5

One clean breakout a day.

Breakout sets a buy level and a sell level from yesterday's range and takes the first one that breaks. Losers are cut at the day's open, winners run until the evening, and it stays out on the big news days.

How Breakout EA works

Gold often picks a direction early and keeps going. Breakout sets a buy level and a sell level from yesterday's range and takes the first one that breaks. Losers are cut at the day's open; winners run until the evening.

01The levels. Today's open ± 0.7 × yesterday's high-to-low range.
02The break. First touch only, one trade a day, stop at the open.
03The exit. Closed by 21:00 server time. Never held overnight.
+Day filters. Stays out on NFP, CPI and Fed days, and after extreme-range days. Breakouts lost money on those days in every period we tested.

Why fewer than half can win

Losers are cut early at the open; winners run until the evening. On average a win is about 1.4× a loss, so 48% winners still adds up. Expect losing streaks: 12 in a row happened.

Gold only, on purpose

We ran the exact same rules on 14 other markets: forex pairs, US and European indices, big US stocks. None passed, so we don't sell it for them.

HONEST FACTS

Is it right for you?

Good fit if you…

  • want a simple rule you can check on the chart every day
  • want a stop on every trade and nothing held overnight
  • can accept losing streaks while the winners do the work
  • like the idea of pairing it with Catalyst on different days

Not for you if you…

  • need a high win rate to feel comfortable: it wins about 48% of trades
  • want to trade forex or indices: it's built for gold only
  • would switch it off after five losses in a row
  • want guaranteed profits: nobody can honestly offer those

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How are the levels calculated?+

Today's open plus or minus 0.7 × yesterday's high-to-low range. Try it yourself with the free breakout levels calculator.

Why does it skip NFP, CPI and Fed days?+

On those days news spikes push price through a level and back to the stop. In our tests breakouts lost money on those days in both periods (profit factor 0.79 and 0.89), so v2.0 stays out.

Why only 48% winners?+

Losers are cut early at the day's open; winners run until the evening. The average win was about 1.4× the average loss, so 48% winners still adds up. Losing streaks of 10+ trades happened in testing.

Does it hold trades overnight?+

No. Every trade is closed by 21:00 server time, so there are no overnight swap costs or weekend gaps.

Does it work on other markets?+

No. We tested the exact same rules on forex pairs, indices and big US stocks. None passed, so it is sold for XAUUSD only.
