Pack Invest London Break Out EA

London Breakout EA – Simple & Effective Breakout Strategy

London Breakout EA is a fully automated expert advisor that trades the classic London breakout strategy. It identifies the Asian session range (00:00 – 08:00 GMT) and enters a trade when price breaks above the high or below the low of that range during the London session (08:00 – 18:00 GMT).

The EA is designed for traders who want a transparent, rule‑based approach with strict money management. It works on any symbol and time frame (preferably EURUSD H1 or higher) and is compatible with both netting and hedging accounts.

How It Works

  1. Asian Range Calculation (00:00 – 08:00 GMT)
    The EA records the highest high and lowest low of the Asian session using GMT time (server‑independent). The range is calculated once per day.

  2. Entry Logic (08:00 – 18:00 GMT)

    • If price breaks above the Asian high → a BUY order is placed immediately.

    • If price breaks below the Asian low → a SELL order is placed immediately.

  3. Exit Logic

    • Stop Loss is placed outside the opposite side of the Asian range plus  StopPips .

    • Take Profit is set at  TakePips  from the entry price.

    • The EA never adds to a losing position and closes all trades at the end of the day (if still open) – no overnight exposure beyond the trading hours.

  4. Risk Controls

    • Only one position at a time (configurable via  MaxConcurrentPositions ).

    • Daily drawdown limit: if the limit is reached, no further trades are placed that day.

    • Spread check: trades are prevented when spread exceeds  MaxSpread .

    • Cooldown after a failed order to avoid spam.

Requirements

  • Platform: MetaTrader 5 (build 4000 or later)

  • Symbols: EURUSD (more set-files will be published in our channel: https://www.mql5.com/en/channels/01e5c5d4f8dbdc01)

  • Time Frame: H1 or higher (the EA works on any, but H1 provides smoother Asian range)

  • Minimum Deposit: Depends on your risk settings. We recommend at least $500 for a 0.01 lot trade with 1% risk.

Performance Expectations

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Backtests on EURUSD (2025–2026) show a natural growing equity curve. The strategy works best in trending markets and may produce small losses during consolidation. The EA is intended as a long‑term, well‑diversified tool, not as a “get rich quick” scam solution. It has ups und downs, while growing the balance.
