SR Breakout Scalper: Catch the Market with Volume-Confirmed Breakouts
Are you looking for clear, high-probability entry points free from market noise? SR Breakout Scalper is a next-generation Expert Advisor that fully automates a proven strategy used by professional traders: Support and Resistance Breakouts Confirmed by Volume.
Instead of focusing solely on price action, this EA analyzes the real power (volume) behind a breakout. This allows it to largely avoid false breakouts and enter positions only when there is high momentum.
The Heart of the Strategy: How It Works
The SR Breakout Scalper owes its success to a simple yet powerful 3-step logic:
- Step 1: Identifying Strong Levels (Higher Timeframe)
- The EA scans the market on a higher timeframe you define (e.g., M15).
- It analyzes historical data to map out the strongest, most-tested Support and Resistance (S/R) levels. These levels are the market's "memory."
- Step 2: Observing the Breakout Moment (Lower Timeframe)
- Once these key S/R levels are identified, the EA focuses on a lower timeframe (e.g., M1) for execution.
- It patiently waits for the price to break one of these powerful levels.
- Step 3: The Golden Confirmation with Volume
- This is where the magic happens! Not every breakout is an opportunity.
- The EA checks if the trading volume at the moment of the breakout is significantly higher than the recent average volume ( VolumeMultiplier ).
- If the volume surge is sufficient, it signals that major players and real momentum are behind the breakout. Only then is a position opened.
🚀 Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTA): Filters out market noise and increases accuracy by analyzing on a higher timeframe and trading on a lower one.
- Volume Filter: The most effective method to eliminate false signals and enter only high-momentum trades.
- Dynamic Support/Resistance Detection: The EA automatically updates S/R levels as the market changes, not relying on static levels.
- Session Filter (London & New York): Maximize efficiency by trading only during the most liquid and volatile market hours.
- Advanced Risk Management:
- Set risk per trade in USD or as a percentage of your balance.
- Prevents opening positions in poor market conditions with a Maximum Spread control.
- Automatic Take Profit/Stop Loss calculation ( RiskRewardRatio ).
- Fully Customizable: All strategy parameters can be adjusted to the trader's risk appetite and preferences.
📈 Recommendations and Best Practices
- Recommended Symbol: EURUSD (Ideal due to low spread and high liquidity).
- Trading Timeframe ( Trade_Timeframe ): M1 (The most suitable timeframe for the scalping nature of the strategy).
- Support/Resistance Timeframe ( SR_Timeframe ): M15 (Recommended for finding more stable and reliable levels).
- Leverage: 1:100, 1:200, 1:500. High leverage provides more flexibility with low margin usage, but remember that it also increases risk.
- Broker: Using a low-spread broker that supports ECN, Raw, or Razor account types is critical (e.g., IC Markets, Pepperstone).
- VPS (Virtual Private Server): Highly recommended for the EA to run 24/7 without interruption and for instant order execution.
