Product Description
Yesterday Breakout EA is a straightforward and disciplined Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades breakouts of the previous day’s high and low.
The EA waits for a clear breakout from yesterday’s range on your chosen signal timeframe and opens a trade in the direction of the breakout. It is designed for traders who prefer simple, rule-based strategies with strong risk management.
Key Features & Advantages
- Clear Breakout Logic: Enters trades only when price breaks and closes beyond yesterday’s high (for Buy) or yesterday’s low (for Sell).
- Flexible Signal Timeframe: Works on any timeframe you choose (M5, M15, H1, etc.).
- Built-in Risk Management:
- Optional risk-based position sizing (percent of account balance)
- Fixed lot mode
- Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit in points
- Protection Tools:
- Spread filter to avoid trading during high-spread periods
- Trading hours filter (trade only during your preferred session)
- Break-even function to move SL to entry after a set profit
- Optional trailing stop with step
- Safety Options:
- One trade per day per direction (prevents over-trading)
- Single position per symbol mode
- Magic number and deviation settings
The EA is clean, well-commented, and easy to use. It does not use dangerous methods like martingale or grid.
