MA200 Confirmed Breakout (3rd Candle) — Clean breakout logic with confirmation “Focused on XAUUSD (Gold):
Leave your feedback and rate it, then send me a message and I'll send you the tested parameters. If you want an Expert Advisor that is simple, objective, and easy to configure, this robot is built around a classic market concept: breakout of a Moving Average (default: 200) with direction confirmation and entry on the 3rd candle.
The goal is to reduce “impulsive” entries and avoid many false signals by requiring candle confirmation (without relying on extra indicators beyond the Moving Average itself).
✅ How the robot defines direction and the breakoutThe EA uses a Moving Average (default: MA 200) as a reference line.
It looks for a situation where price switches sides and then holds on the correct side before entering.
Instead of entering on the first touch, it requires confirmation:
BUY conditions
The EA prepares a BUY when:
-
Two candles close above the Moving Average (strength confirmed above MA);
-
A recent crossing happened (price came from the opposite side, or there was a touch/cross within the most recent candles);
-
The entry is placed at the open of the next candle (the “3rd candle”), and the open must be above the MA.
📌 Summary: breaks up + confirms above + enters on the open of the 3rd candle above the MA.
SELL conditions
The EA prepares a SELL when:
-
Two candles close below the Moving Average (strength confirmed below MA);
-
A recent crossing happened (price came from the opposite side, or there was a touch/cross within the most recent candles);
-
The entry is placed at the open of the next candle (the “3rd candle”), and the open must be below the MA.
📌 Summary: breaks down + confirms below + enters on the open of the 3rd candle below the MA.
⏱️ When exactly does it enter?This EA evaluates signals only on a new bar (at the start of each candle).
That means:
-
It does not open trades in the middle of a candle;
-
Execution is more predictable, especially for backtests and optimization.
✅ Entry: at the start of the candle after confirmation (3rd candle).
✅ Only 1 position per symbol/magic at a time.
Exits are controlled by your settings through the parameters:
Take Profit (TP)
-
If TP_pts > 0 : the EA places a Take Profit in points.
-
If TP_pts = 0 : trades run without Take Profit.
Stop Loss (SL)
-
If SL_pts > 0 : the EA places a Stop Loss in points.
-
If SL_pts = 0 : trades run without Stop Loss.
📌 Note: the EA respects the broker/symbol requirements (such as minimum stop distance) when applicable.
