ENGLISH
ZiKenV2 – Session ORB Trading Expert Advisor
ZiKenV2 is a fully automated session-based Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Expert Advisor designed to trade major market sessions with a strong focus on risk control, consistency, and capital protection. ZiKenV2 is designed to prioritize capital preservation over trade frequency and remains inactive during unfavorable market conditions
The EA identifies the opening range of predefined trading sessions and executes trades only after a confirmed breakout, supported by multiple optional filters to avoid low-quality market conditions.
Core Strategy
-
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) per session
-
Trades up to 3 sessions per day (Asia, Europe, US – configurable)
-
Breakout confirmation on candle close
-
Directional trading based strictly on price behavior
-
One active position at a time (no overexposure)
Risk & Drawdown Control
ZiKenV2 is built with safety in mind:
-
Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit (points-based)
-
Maximum trades per day
-
Daily Stop Loss hit limits (separate for BUY and SELL)
-
Optional ATR volatility filter to avoid low-liquidity conditions
-
Optional EMA trend filter to align trades with higher-timeframe bias
No grid, no martingale, no recovery systems.
Advanced Trade Management
-
Optional Bollinger Bands confirmation (period 20, deviation 2, applied to close)
-
Dynamic trailing stop-loss
-
Optional profit extension logic that can trail targets toward higher-timeframe support or resistance levels
-
All order modifications are throttled to avoid server overload
Entry Logic, Timing & Trade Validity
ZiKen does not place random or time-agnostic trades.
All entries are strictly derived from the EA’s core price-action logic, which is based on wick retests of predefined liquidity levels formed by the first three 5-minute candles of the session.
If a trade is executed later than the initial session opening time, it is not a new or arbitrary signal.
It is a delayed but valid retest of an already-identified wick level that remains aligned with ZiKen’s original setup conditions.
In other words:
- The decision level is defined early
- The execution waits for price confirmation
- No trades are triggered without price revisiting a valid wick level
This design ensures that every trade remains fully consistent with ZiKen’s logic, even if the retest occurs later within an enabled session.
Time Configuration Notice:
This EA uses GMT-based session timing to ensure consistent behavior across all brokers and during Strategy Tester verification.
Session hours must be configured in GMT, not broker server time or local time. The Broker that I see it fits the most is "XM Global"
(UPDATE: I noticed that the default time of execution in ZiKenV2 is giving more positive result, but again "This is not a guarantee" trading is a risk, always do your own research and test it for months to a Demo account.
